What Veneers Can Help With
Stubborn Stains
Some stains don’t respond to traditional whitening. Veneers offer a permanent way to brighten your smile and keep it that way.
Chipped or Worn Teeth
If your teeth are uneven or have minor damage, veneers can smooth and restore them with a more polished, youthful look.
Gaps or Irregular Spacing
Veneers close small gaps and create better symmetry, without the need for braces or aligners.
Mild Misalignment
Slightly crooked teeth can appear straighter and more even with carefully placed veneers, giving the illusion of alignment without orthodontics.
Is Veneer Treatment Right for You?
Veneers may be a good fit if you:
- Want to improve the appearance of your teeth without major dental work
- Have healthy gums and sufficient enamel on your teeth
- Are looking for a long-term solution that still feels minimally invasive
- Want a smile that reflects how you feel—but don’t love how it currently looks
Not sure if you’re a candidate? We’ll assess your goals and oral health during a complimentary consultation and talk through your best options, veneers or otherwise.
How Long Do Veneers Last?
With proper care—brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits—veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer. We’ll provide tips to help you protect your investment and keep your smile looking its best.

How We Bring Your New Smile to Life
Consultation
We start with a relaxed, one-on-one visit. Dr. Nevid will take the time to understand what you’re hoping to change and explain your options clearly.
Smile Design
Using iTero digital scanning, we capture precise images of your teeth and digitally design your future smile. You’ll see a 3D preview and have the chance to provide feedback before we move forward.
Temporary Veneers
Before your final veneers are placed, you’ll wear temporary ones that let you test the look and feel in real life. This trial period gives you time to make sure your smile feels just right.
Final Placement
When your custom veneers are ready, we’ll carefully place and bond them with precision and attention to detail. The final result? A smile that’s polished, balanced, and completely you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for my veneers?
Caring for veneers is simple. Brush and floss daily using a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Avoid biting hard objects (like ice or pens), and see us regularly for professional cleanings and checkups.
Are veneers covered by insurance?
Veneers are considered a cosmetic treatment, so most insurance plans do not cover them. However, we offer flexible financing options, including monthly payment plans, to help make treatment more affordable for our patients.
How long does the veneer process take?
The process typically takes 2–3 visits over a few weeks. This includes your consultation, digital smile design, temporary veneers (if needed), and final placement. We’ll always work with your schedule and keep you informed at every step.
Do veneers stain?
Porcelain veneers are highly stain-resistant and stay brighter longer than natural enamel. However, keeping up with good oral hygiene and avoiding excessive consumption of staining agents (like coffee, tea, or red wine) will help preserve their appearance.
Can I still get cavities with veneers?
Yes. While veneers cover the front of your teeth, the natural tooth underneath can still develop decay if not properly cared for. Daily brushing, flossing, and regular checkups are key to maintaining both your veneers and your overall oral health.
How many veneers will I need?
It depends on your smile goals and how many teeth show when you smile. Many patients choose 4–8 veneers across the upper front teeth, but some may benefit from fewer—or more. We’ll guide you toward a treatment plan that makes the most sense for your needs and budget.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients find the process comfortable and experience only minor sensitivity. We use local anesthesia during preparation, and for those who feel anxious, sedation options are available. Dr. Nevid’s gentle approach helps make the experience as easy and relaxing as possible.
Will my veneers look natural?
Absolutely. At Bel Air Dental Arts, each veneer is custom-designed to match your facial features, tooth shape, and smile goals. We work with a high-quality dental lab to ensure your veneers reflect the natural color, shape, and translucency of real teeth—so they blend in beautifully.
Are veneers permanent?
Yes, veneers are considered permanent because placing them involves removing a small amount of enamel to ensure a proper fit. While the veneers themselves may eventually need to be replaced, the process is not reversible. We always walk you through this fully before treatment begins.
How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers are made from durable materials designed to last 10–15 years or more with proper care. Just like natural teeth, they benefit from daily brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits to keep them looking and functioning their best.
