Chips, gaps, and uneven edges don't have to mean years of orthodontics — veneers can address the appearance directly. Smile Center Dentistry previews your result digitally before any enamel is touched.
Veneers are permanent once enamel is removed, so we make sure you approve the design first. We'd rather spend extra time on the mockup stage than redo a finished case.
We adjust shape and shade digitally until you approve it, not after the veneers are already made. We walk through the mockup together, not just email you a file to review alone.
Not every case needs aggressive tooth reduction — we explain what your specific teeth actually require. Preserving enamel matters for long-term tooth health, not just for this procedure.
Composite can often be done in a single visit; porcelain takes longer but resists staining better — we explain both honestly. We'll tell you honestly if your case is better suited to one material over the other.
If a veneer doesn't fit or match shade correctly, we adjust or remake it within the guarantee period. We'd rather remake one veneer than have you live with a mismatch.
Not every smile concern needs the same veneer approach — here's what we offer after your design consult.
Custom-shaded in a dental lab to match — or intentionally brighten — your natural smile. Typically requires two visits: prep and impressions, then bonding.
A more affordable, reversible option for patients who want results without committing to porcelain. We explain the shorter lifespan honestly compared to porcelain.
This step lets you request adjustments — length, shape, brightness — before we touch your teeth. Nothing is finalized until you approve the design.
A chipped or discolored single tooth can often be addressed with one veneer rather than a full smile case. Ideal for isolated damage rather than an overall smile makeover.
A full-arch case gets extra planning time to ensure every veneer works together, not just individually. We stage complex cases in phases when that better serves the outcome.
We'll tell you if bonding could accomplish your goal at a lower cost before recommending veneers. Not every cosmetic concern needs the more involved veneer procedure.

We create a digital mockup of your projected result for you to review and adjust.
Temporary veneers are placed while your custom ones are fabricated.
Your finished veneers are bonded and checked for fit, bite, and shade match.
"Seeing my projected smile on a screen before committing made the whole decision so much easier."
"Went with composite for budget reasons and they were upfront that it wouldn't last as long as porcelain. No pressure to upgrade."
"Porcelain veneers three years in and they still look like the day I got them."
"They adjusted the shade twice until it matched exactly what I wanted, no extra charge."
"Asked about bonding first since I only had one chipped tooth and they said it would work fine — saved me money over a full veneer."
Lifespan depends on material and habits like grinding — we discuss realistic expectations at your consult. We'll recommend the material likely to hold up best for your specific habits.
Composite veneers often require no anesthesia at all since they involve less enamel removal. We check comfort throughout the procedure rather than assuming it's fine.
You approve shape and shade digitally first, which is exactly why we build that step into every case. We can adjust the mockup as many times as needed until you're satisfied.
We walk through both honestly so you choose based on your budget and timeline, not upselling. Composite can be touched up over time; porcelain generally can't be repaired the same way.
Minimal-prep veneers preserve most of your enamel; traditional porcelain requires some reduction, which we explain case by case. Enamel removed for veneers doesn't grow back, which is why we're careful about how much we take.
We break down per-tooth cost clearly so you can decide how many veneers fit your budget. We'd rather you understand the full cost before starting than be surprised partway through.
Our veneer team serves Del Mar and the surrounding zip codes with the same design-first process at every visit. Whether you want one tooth addressed or a full smile makeover, our Del Mar team handles both.
