If you have crooked teeth or gaps, you may consider porcelain veneers. Veneers can be a great option for improving the look of your teeth.
Porcelain veneers can correct various cosmetic dental concerns creating a more beautiful and balanced smile. Made of ultra-thin professional-grade ceramic, porcelain veneers mimic natural teeth for a seamless result. It can be hard to distinguish between a natural-looking set of modern veneers and real teeth.
Dentists place them over the front of your teeth to correct chips, crooked teeth, stains, or close gaps between teeth. They can even hide damage from accidents, wear and tear, or grinding. Cosmetic dentist Dr. Georgia Haddad has vast training and experience designing, fabricating, and fitting porcelain veneers.

Dental veneers are a permanent cosmetic dental restoration and an investment in the look and health of your smile. Porcelain veneers can last for many years with proper oral hygiene at home. Regular dental cleanings and oral health exams twice a year will help maintain results for a lifetime of beautiful and healthy smiles.
Our veneers will match your natural teeth’ size, shape, and color and blend in seamlessly with your smile. They’re custom-made with state-of-the-art software by master ceramicists. If you have cosmetic flaws with your teeth, porcelain veneers give you an even, attractive smile.
Porcelain Veneers What to Expect
Veneers are an excellent option for people who want whiter and straighter teeth but don’t want to spend the time or money on full dental work. Dr. Haddad provides in-house cosmetic dental restorations for consistent and quality results. We complete the porcelain veneer procedure in our Oxnard, California dental office over 2 to 3 visits.
Step 1: Your first visit will include a comprehensive dental health exam to see if dental veneers are the best cosmetic treatment to address your dental concerns. Dr. Haddad will take the time to check your oral health thoroughly. She will help you build a treatment plan to meet your goals and create a stable oral foundation.
Step 2: Your second visit will be to prepare your teeth for the final dental veneer restoration. Dr. Haddad will remove an amount of tooth surface material to make room for the veneer. After Dr. Haddad prepares your teeth, she will take molds to use to create an accurate and natural fit. Depending on the case, we may fit you with temporary veneers while the lab makes your permanent veneers.
Step 3: The following visit, your dentist will adjust, color-match, and permanently adhere your final dental veneers to your teeth. Dr. Haddad will use a special bonding agent that creates a lasting and durable hold. Your dental veneers will then be complete, and you can enjoy your new healthy and beautiful smile.

Yes, but only a dentist can remove your dental veneers. Your dentist can remove them in cases of emergency, if you do not like them anymore, or if you decide that you want to change things up for any reason. Unfortunately, you will need to go through the process again if you want to get them back. Dentists cannot reuse existing veneers once they take them off.
Porcelain veneers are highly stain- and decay-resistant and should last many years. Like all dental restorations, porcelain veneers rely on healthy tooth, bone, and gum structures for long-term success. Regular oral hygiene is essential for maintaining dental veneers.
No, porcelain veneers can’t get cavities. However, the teeth underneath them still can. Make sure you’re brushing and flossing regularly and still visiting your dentist bi-annually for checkups.
Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, but they’re still capable of being stained. If you frequently drink coffee or are a smoker, the veneers will become stained over time. Veneers also can’t be treated with professional teeth whitening methods.
Porcelain veneers are almost as durable as your natural tooth enamel. But they’re still capable of breaking. Try to avoid biting down directly on anything hard with your veneer. This is the easiest way to make it chip or fracture.
Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic solution for a variety of dental problems. However, you must be sure you’re ready for a permanent restoration. Once you get veneers, you’ll always have to have a restoration on your teeth for the future.
