If you’ve ever wished for a flawless, camera-ready smile, porcelain veneers could be your answer. At Dullat Cosmetic Dental & Implants in San Jose CA, we help patients transform chipped, stained, uneven, or slightly crooked teeth into the radiant, balanced smiles they’ve always dreamed of.
Veneers are one of the fastest and most dramatic ways to improve your smile. In just two to three visits, you can go from feeling self-conscious to confidently showing off perfect, natural-looking teeth that fit your face beautifully.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of medical-grade ceramic that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. Each veneer is custom-crafted to match your desired shape, size, and color, creating a seamless and beautiful smile that still looks completely natural.
Unlike crowns, veneers only cover the front and edges of the teeth, meaning more of your natural tooth structure is preserved. They are strong, stain-resistant, and can last a decade or more with proper care.
What Can Veneers Fix?
Porcelain veneers are versatile and can correct a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including:
Discolored or stained teeth that don’t respond to whitening
Chipped or worn-down teeth
Uneven or irregularly shaped teeth
Small gaps between teeth
Slightly crooked or misaligned teeth
If you have healthy teeth and gums but are unhappy with the appearance of your smile, veneers may be an ideal solution.
Why Choose Porcelain Over Other Materials?
While there are other veneer materials, such as composite resin, porcelain offers superior aesthetics and durability:
Natural Appearance: Porcelain mimics the light-reflecting properties of real enamel.
Stain Resistance: Less porous than natural teeth, resisting coffee, wine, and tobacco stains.
Strength & Longevity: Durable enough to handle normal biting and chewing for 10–15 years or more.
Custom Shading: Color can be matched to your natural teeth or lightened for a brighter smile.
Are Veneers Painful?
The procedure is minimally invasive and typically requires only local anesthesia. Most patients report little to no discomfort during or after the process.
The Porcelain Veneer Process
We follow a precise, patient-focused process to ensure your veneers are exactly what you envision:
Step 1: Consultation & Smile Design
We start with an in-depth conversation about your goals and a comprehensive dental exam. Using digital imaging, we can preview your potential results so you can feel confident moving forward.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation
A small amount of enamel (usually less than a millimeter) is gently removed from the front surface of each tooth to create space for the veneers. This ensures a perfect fit and natural look.
Step 3: Impressions & Temporary Veneers
We take impressions or digital scans of your teeth, which are sent to our trusted dental lab. While your custom veneers are being crafted, we place temporary veneers so you can get used to your new smile.
Step 4: Final Placement
Once your porcelain veneers are ready, we check the fit, shape, and color with you before bonding them permanently to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive. After a final polish, your transformation is complete.

Porcelain Veneers vs. Other Cosmetic Options
| Concern | Whitening | Bonding | Veneers |

| Chips/Cracks | | | |
| Gaps | | | |
| Longevity | Months–Years | 5–7 Years | 10–15+ Years |

While bonding is less expensive and whitening is great for mild discoloration, veneers offer the most comprehensive, long-lasting results for multiple cosmetic concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions About Veneers
Will my veneers look fake?
Not at all. When crafted by experienced dentists and ceramists, veneers blend seamlessly with your smile.
Do I need to veneer all my teeth?
Not necessarily — some patients choose to enhance just the teeth that show when they smile.
Are veneers reversible?
Because a small amount of enamel is removed, veneers are considered a permanent treatment.
