A good candidate for veneers is someone who wants to enhance the look of their smile while maintaining healthy teeth and gums. If you're dealing with chips, discoloration, small gaps, or uneven edges, veneers offer a long-lasting cosmetic solution that feels natural and looks seamless. At Fulbright Dental in Manhattan and Redondo Beach, we evaluate each patient’s oral health, bite alignment, and goals before recommending treatment. Using advanced diagnostics and digital smile design, our doctors customize each case to your unique features and lifestyle. If you're ready to improve your smile and want results that are both beautiful and functional, you may be an excellent candidate for veneers.
Common Issues Veneers Can Fix

Restoring confidence in your smile
For many people, confidence takes a hit when their smile doesn’t match how they feel inside. Chipped, worn, or mismatched teeth can be daily reminders that hold you back. Veneers rebuild shape, smoothness, and uniformity—helping you feel proud to show your smile again.

Deep stains or discoloration
Some stains don't respond to whitening treatments, especially if they're internal or related to medications. Veneers provide a bright, consistent shade that masks deep discoloration and restores a youthful, confident smile you’ll be proud to share.

Small gaps or uneven spacing
Living with small gaps or irregularly spaced teeth can make people feel self-conscious, especially in photos or everyday conversations. Veneers close spaces and enhance symmetry, creating a balanced smile that radiates confidence and feels completely natural.

Frequently Asked Questions
Veneers are a great option for many people, but for the best long-term results, we need to make sure the foundation is strong first. During your consultation, we’ll assess your oral health, bite function, and any underlying issues that may have contributed to the need for veneers, such as grinding or worn enamel. If you have gum disease, decay, or functional concerns, we’ll recommend treating those issues first to ensure your veneers last and your smile stays healthy. Our approach is always comprehensive because lasting beauty starts with a stable foundation.
