Maximize Your Cosmetic Smile Makeover by Adding Porcelain Veneers
Is your smile a source of joy and confidence? Or are you embarrassed about the state of your teeth? If you fall into the latter category, it’s time for a cosmetic smile makeover with veneers. Porcelain veneers will transform your flawed smile into one of exquisite beauty. Dr. Tiffany H. Nguyen from West Portal Family Dentistry is one of the best veneer dentists in San Francisco, California. In this post, we answer your questions about veneers and the impact this cosmetic treatment can have on your smile.
What are porcelain veneers?
Veneers are ultra-thin, porcelain shells that can be cemented to the surface of flawed teeth to give them an attractive appearance. By concealing defects in your teeth, veneers can make your smile more youthful, vibrant, and pleasing.
What kind of problems can porcelain veneers conceal?
Porcelain veneers can correct multiple tooth flaws in your teeth in one dental treatment. These include:
- Stains and discolorations
- Chips and cracks
- Small tooth gaps
- Misshapen teeth
- Undersized teeth
- Teeth that are slightly uneven

What does the veneer process look like?
Dr. Nguyen will evaluate your smile to determine if veneers are a good fit for you. We’ll also confirm that your teeth are healthy enough for veneers. If both of these boxes can be checked, we’ll proceed with your treatment. Before attaching veneers to your teeth, a thin layer of enamel must be removed to make room for the veneers. After prepping your teeth, we’ll take impressions to send to a lab where veneers are fabricated. We’ll put temporary veneers in place while waiting for your permanent veneers to be created. Porcelain veneers are custom-made to the size, shape, and color of your teeth to match your smile perfectly. When your permanent veneers are ready, we’ll schedule a second dental visit to remove the temporary veneers and cement the permanent ones in place. You’ll leave our office with a beautiful new smile to showcase to the world.
What’s the average lifespan of porcelain veneers?
With good oral care, your veneers can last up to 10 years before needing an upgrade. As veneers are a permanent part of your smile, you care for them the same way you care for your teeth – with regular brushing, flossing, and routine exams and cleanings. We recommend you avoid hard and sticky foods, chewing on ice, nail-biting, and other habits that are harmful to your teeth. What are the benefits of getting veneers? Porcelain veneers can transform flawed teeth into a gorgeous smile you’ll love. Instead of being embarrassed about your teeth, you’ll want to show them off proudly! With pearly whites that gleam, you’ll feel more confident around family, friends, and work colleagues and have a more positive outlook for your future.
