Who Is a Candidate for Dental Veneers?
You may be a good candidate for veneers if you:
- Have healthy teeth and gums with no active decay
- Want to correct cosmetic imperfections like chips, stains, or gaps
- Prefer a minimally invasive cosmetic solution
- Desire a long-term enhancement with natural results
If you grind your teeth, have severe misalignment, or significant decay, Dr. Shahbazyan may recommend alternative treatments before veneers.
What are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are custom-made, thin shells which can be attached to the front teeth for the purpose of improving a person’s smile and overall appearance. They are generally used to cover up teeth which have become stained or chipped, and are also sometimes used to fill in gaps between the front teeth. This can be a very valuable procedure, since it can restore a beautiful smile and help a person enjoy greater self-confidence and a more positive outlook.
What Types of Problems Do Dental Veneers Fix?
- Crooked Teeth
- Noticeable Tooth Decay
- Chips or Cracks in the Teeth
- Gaps Between the Front Teeth
- Stains and Discoloration
Benefits of Dental Veneers
Choosing dental veneers offers many advantages, including:
- Natural Aesthetics: Porcelain veneers reflect light like real enamel, blending seamlessly for a natural, radiant smile.
- Quick Transformation: Achieve a dramatically enhanced smile in just two or three comfortable, stress-free visits.
- Durability: With consistent care and regular checkups, veneers can last 10–15 years or even longer.
- Stain Resistance: Porcelain veneers resist staining better than natural teeth, keeping your smile brighter for many years.
- Boosted Confidence: Feel comfortable smiling during photos, conversations, or interviews, knowing your teeth look flawless.
Types of Dental Veneers
There are two main types of dental veneers, those being resin-based composite and veneers which are made out of porcelain.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are very strong thin shells which a dentist bonds to the front surface of your teeth. Before placing the veneers, a small amount of enamel must be removed from the affected teeth. When you have porcelain veneers installed, they can either be the same color as the surrounding teeth, or a slightly whiter shade so as to improve your smile.
Resin-based Composite Veneers
Veneers which are made of a resin-based composite are similar in many respects to porcelain veneers, but they do require less enamel to be removed, and are somewhat less expensive than porcelain veneers. It’s also usually easier to replace resin-based veneers if they should become damaged or broken.
Before & After
The Dental Veneers Process
- Initial Consultation: Dr. Shahbazyan carefully evaluates your teeth, listens to your goals, and shares before-and-after cases, ensuring you feel confident about moving forward with a personalized veneer treatment plan.
- Smile Design & Preparation: Using advanced digital impressions, we precisely design your veneers. Then, we gently reshape enamel, creating the perfect foundation for comfortable, natural-looking veneer placement with minimal discomfort.
- Temporary Veneers: Custom temporary veneers are placed to protect your teeth during fabrication. They also provide a realistic preview, allowing you to see and experience your upcoming smile.
- Custom Veneer Fabrication: Our trusted dental lab crafts veneers from high-quality porcelain, carefully matching your desired shade, shape, and bite, ensuring natural beauty and functional harmony for your unique smile.
- Final Bonding: Once veneers are ready, Dr. Shahbazyan bonds them securely, polishes for brilliance, and makes final adjustments, ensuring comfort, seamless fit, and a picture-perfect smile you’ll love.
Dental Veneer Aftercare
Typical aftercare for dental veneers involves visiting your dentist for a follow-up, to make sure that the veneers are comfortable and that they have remained in place. You will generally be advised to avoid biting hard objects or grinding your teeth, and it would also be a bad idea to bite your nails. You should not chew on foods which are very hard, and you should never open objects with your teeth.
Our Technology
CEREC Technology allows us to provide our patients with Same Day Restorations.
No more messy impression materials or hassle with annoying temporaries! CAD/CAM Technology offers our patients the opportunity to have a beautiful restoration designed, fabricated and delivered in a single appointment! Here’s how:
Using CEREC Technology, we are able to take a photo scan of your tooth with a special laser camera that safely captures the anatomy of the prepared tooth and renders it as a 3-dimensional image.
We then customize your crown, inlay or onlay using your digital “impression” and 3D imaging software while you relax with a magazine or music headphones.
After the doctor approves the final design, the CEREC milling system employs CAD/CAM technology to shape your restoration from a high-strength, metal-free ceramic or composite block in a shade to match your smile. This eliminates the repeat visit after sending the impression off to a lab, as this is now able to be done right in the office while you are in the chair!

FAQs
How much do dental veneers cost in Fresno, CA?
The cost of veneers depends on the number of teeth treated, the material used, and preparation needs. At our Fresno office, we provide a personalized treatment estimate after your consultation and also discuss financing options to make veneers more affordable.
Are veneers a permanent solution?
Yes, veneers are considered permanent because a small portion of enamel is removed to place them. However, with proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years or longer before needing replacement.
Can veneers fix crooked teeth?
Veneers can correct mildly misaligned or uneven teeth by reshaping the visible surfaces. For severe misalignment, Dr. Shahbazyan may recommend Invisalign® or orthodontics first to ensure long-term results.
Will veneers feel different from my natural teeth?
No, once bonded, veneers feel natural in your mouth. After a short adjustment period, most patients forget they’re there and enjoy normal function.
Do veneers require special maintenance?
Not beyond your normal dental hygiene routine. However, routine professional cleanings and checkups are essential to keep veneers, gums, and underlying teeth healthy for years.
How many veneers should I get for a natural look?
Some patients improve just one or two visible teeth. Others prefer 6–8 veneers on the upper front teeth for a complete smile makeover. Dr. Shahbazyan will guide you.
Can veneers chip or break?
Yes, though rare. Like natural teeth, veneers can chip if exposed to trauma or biting hard objects. With proper care, they remain durable and strong.
Do veneers also protect my teeth?
Veneers add a layer of protection to the front of teeth, helping prevent further wear or damage. However, they are primarily a cosmetic enhancement, not a medical shield.
