Porcelain veneers in Woodland Hills
Thin porcelain shells, custom-made to cover chips, gaps and stains.
A fresh look for the teeth you show
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth. They can cover chips, stains and small gaps, and even out teeth that are uneven in size or shape.
Because porcelain reflects light much like natural enamel and resists staining, well-made veneers look natural and stay bright for years.
More cosmetic dentistryHow porcelain veneers are made and placed
- 1
Consultation and smile design
We talk about what you'd like to change, check your teeth and gums, and plan the shape and shade that suit your face.
- 2
Preparing your teeth
A thin layer of enamel is usually removed so the veneers sit naturally. The area is numbed, so you stay comfortable.
- 3
Scan and temporaries
We take a precise scan or impression for the lab, and you can wear temporary veneers while yours are being made.
- 4
Placing your veneers
We check the fit and color, make any fine adjustments, then bond each veneer firmly in place.
- 5
Care
Brush, floss and keep up regular checkups. A night guard can protect veneers if you grind your teeth.
Trained in cosmetic dentistry
Dr. Ahdout has spent years of continuing education on cosmetic dentistry since graduating from USC in 1993. His certificates line the office walls, and every veneer case starts with a plan for proportion, shade and balance.

Clear, upfront costs
Veneers are priced per tooth, so the total depends on how many you need. You'll get a clear estimate after your consultation. Veneers are usually considered cosmetic, so insurance rarely covers them, and we'll go over payment options with you.

Porcelain veneers often last ten years or more with good care. Regular checkups, and a night guard if you grind your teeth, help them last as long as possible.
Porcelain veneers are usually considered permanent, because a thin layer of enamel is removed to fit them. That's why we plan carefully with you before starting. The ADA describes the process.
Porcelain veneers resist staining much better than natural teeth, but the edges and your natural teeth can still pick up stains, so good habits still matter.
Getting veneers usually involves little discomfort, because the teeth are numbed while they're prepared. Some mild sensitivity afterward is normal and short-lived.
A veneer covers only the front of a tooth, while a crown covers the whole tooth. Crowns are used when a tooth needs more strength or repair.
Often, yes. Veneers are matched to your natural teeth, so teeth whitening first lets your veneers match your brighter shade.
