Veneers 101 - Everything You Need to Know About the Veneers Process
Porcelain veneers are one of the most trusted ways to completely transform your smile. These thin, custom shells are placed on the front of your teeth to cover chips, stains, gaps, or uneven shapes. At Fulbright Dental, veneers are about more than just a cosmetic upgrade. Our doctors bring decades of experience in cosmetic and restorative dentistry, combining advanced techniques with an artistic eye. To take results even further, we partner with Master Ceramist Paulo Battistella, who helps design veneers that look natural and blend seamlessly with your smile. With our wellness-focused approach, you can expect veneers that not only look amazing but also support long-term oral health and a comfortable bite.
The Benefits of Veneers

A Smile That Looks and Feels Natural
Our veneers are carefully crafted to mimic real enamel, right down to the way they catch the light. Because every smile is unique, we customize your veneers to complement your features, giving you results that feel like your best self, not a cookie-cutter smile.

Strong and Long-Lasting
We use premium porcelain that resists stains and holds up to everyday life. With the right care, your veneers can last well over a decade. Many of our patients find they no longer need repeat cosmetic treatments, making veneers a smart long-term choice.

A Process Built Around You
From digital previews to lab-designed prototypes, you’ll be able to see and feel what your new smile will look like before the final step. This extra layer of customization is one of the things that makes Fulbright Dental different. You’ll have the chance to give feedback and feel confident every step of the way.
The Veneers Treatment Process

Consultation and Smile Planning
We’ll start with a one-on-one consultation at our Manhattan or Redondo Beach office. Our doctors will take the time to understand your goals, evaluate your oral health, and use digital imaging to preview what your new smile could look like. It’s a chance for you to ask questions and feel fully comfortable with your plan.

Preparing and Testing Your New Smile
A very thin layer of enamel is gently reshaped to prepare your teeth. We then take precise digital impressions that go straight to our ceramist. Instead of using generic temporary veneers, we create a custom prototype that reflects the final design. You’ll get to “test drive” your new smile and let us know if any tweaks are needed before the real thing.

Final Placement and Reveal
When your veneers are ready, we’ll bond them with expert precision and make sure your bite feels comfortable. After polishing and final checks, you’ll see your new smile in full for the first time. Many patients choose to capture the moment with an in-office photoshoot, walking out with not just a brighter smile but also the confidence to share it.
