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.

What to Expect During a Veneers Consultation

Smile Evaluation and Digital Planning

Your consultation begins with a full evaluation of your teeth, gums, and bite. We use high-resolution photography and digital scans to assess your current smile and begin planning your ideal result. Our doctors will listen to your goals and provide clear guidance on whether veneers are the best path forward.

Prototype Veneers and Custom Design

If you're a good candidate, we’ll take detailed impressions and begin designing your custom veneers with our master ceramist, Paulo Battistella. Before the final veneers are made, we provide digitally crafted prototypes so you can preview your new smile and make adjustments if needed. This step ensures your final result reflects exactly what you want.If you're a good candidate, we’ll take detailed impressions and begin designing your custom veneers with our master ceramist, Paulo Battistella.
