What Are Dental Veneers and Dental Laminates?

Dental veneers and laminates are ultra-thin, custom-made shells applied to the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. They are perfect for correcting dental imperfections such as discoloration, chips, or minor misalignment.

Veneers are an alternative to more expensive crowns. Porcelain veneers require multiple visits, but they last longer and provide a more stable color than bonding. If you are considering veneers, contact us today at (760) 931-0144 to discuss your options with our staff.
