Porcelain Veneers
Transform Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-crafted shells of dental porcelain bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth — instantly correcting color, shape, size, and symmetry for a dramatically transformed smile. At Dentistry 2000 in Oceanside, Dr. Assadian combines artistic skill with advanced digital design technology to create veneers that look completely natural and feel entirely comfortable.
- Severely stained or discolored teeth that do not respond to whitening
- Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth
- Gaps or spaces between teeth
- Mildly misaligned or uneven teeth
- Teeth that are too small, too short, or irregularly shaped
- An uneven or asymmetric smile
- Consultation & Digital Smile Design — We use digital imaging to show you a preview of your new smile before a single tooth is touched
- Preparation — A minimal, precise amount of enamel is removed to make room for the veneer (typically 0.3–0.5mm)
- Digital Impressions — Accurate 3D scans of your prepared teeth for a perfect-fitting veneer
- Temporaries — You leave with temporary veneers while your custom set is crafted
- Bonding — Your final porcelain veneers are bonded with dental cement and precisely cured for a permanent, durable result
Am I a Candidate for Veneers?
Ideal veneer candidates have good overall oral health (no active gum disease or decay), sufficient enamel for bonding, and realistic expectations. We provide honest, personalized consultations — if veneers are not the right choice for you, we will recommend the treatment that will give you the best long-term result.
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of teeth to improve color, shape, size, alignment, and overall smile symmetry.
What problems can veneers correct?
Veneers can improve stained teeth, chips, worn edges, small gaps, uneven tooth shape, mild misalignment, and smile asymmetry when the teeth and gums are healthy.
Are veneers reversible?
Most porcelain veneers require removing a small amount of enamel, so the process is usually considered permanent. Your dentist will explain alternatives before treatment begins.
A great set of veneers should be indistinguishable from natural teeth. That requires both technical precision and an artistic eye — understanding how light, color, and proportion interact to create a smile that looks genuinely beautiful.

How long do porcelain veneers last?
With good oral hygiene, routine dental visits, and protection from grinding or clenching, porcelain veneers can last many years. A night guard may be recommended for patients who grind their teeth.
How do I know if veneers are right for me?
A cosmetic consultation allows Dr. A.R. Assadian and our team of dentists to evaluate your smile goals, bite, enamel, gum health, and whether veneers or another option will give the best long-term result.
