Custom Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells that cover the front of your teeth to fix chips, gaps, stains, or shapes you don’t like. People across Beverly Hills choose them when whitening can’t fix deep discoloration or when they want to change several smile problems at once. They work for worn edges, small teeth, minor spacing issues, or that one tooth that bothers you in every photo.
Dr. Jamielynn Hanam-Jahr has created custom veneer results for patients in West Hollywood, Culver City, and Century City for over 20 years. She’s a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and designs each veneer to match your face and personality, not some generic celebrity look. Most veneers last 10-15 years and you can transform your entire smile in two appointments.

What Are Dental Veneers
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of medical-grade ceramic that permanently bond to the front surface of your teeth, creating an instantly flawless smile. Unlike teeth whitening that only addresses color, or orthodontics that slowly moves teeth over years, porcelain veneers simultaneously correct multiple imperfections. Often completed in two visits
Each veneer is precision-crafted to your exact specifications in Beverly Hills’ most advanced dental laboratory, measuring just 0.3-0.5 millimeters thick – about the width of a contact lens. The high-quality porcelain material closely mimics natural enamel for a lifelike appearance
As Beverly Hills’ leading porcelain veneer specialist, Dr. Hanam-Jahr designs each restoration to complement your facial structure, skin tone, and personal aesthetic goals. The result is a permanent smile transformation that covers stains, closes gaps, reshapes worn teeth, and creates the appearance of perfectly straight, naturally white teeth – all while preserving your underlying tooth structure.
Why People Choose Porcelain Veneers
Most people come to us after trying whitening strips for years with no real results. Coffee stains, old bonding that turned yellow, or tetracycline discoloration won’t budge with regular whitening. Veneers cover those deep stains completely. You also skip years of orthodontics if your teeth are slightly crooked or have small gaps.
Veneers fix wear and tear that builds up over time. If you grind your teeth at night, the edges get shorter and chipped. Dr. Hanam-Jahr designs veneers to rebuild what’s worn down and balance out teeth that don’t match. They handle multiple problems at once, look natural when done right, and last longer than bonding or other cosmetic fixes.
What Porcelain Veneers Can Fix
Porcelain veneers can correct several cosmetic concerns that other treatments can’t fully address. They are an excellent choice when whitening doesn’t deliver the results you want or when you’re ready for a long-lasting solution that enhances your smile’s balance and brightness.
- Chipped teeth
- Dark or resistant stains
- Small gaps
- Uneven edges
- Worn enamel
- Teeth that look dull or uneven
Each veneer is custom-designed to match your natural teeth and improve what you’d most like to change. The result is a beautiful, confident smile that feels natural and looks flawless from every angle.
How the Veneers Process Works
Your first visit starts with a consultation where Dr. Hanam-Jahr listens to what you want to change and takes photos of your current smile. She designs your new smile based on your face shape and what looks natural on you, not some generic template. Then she prepares your teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel so the veneers fit flush. You leave with temporary veneers that protect your teeth and give you a preview of the shape.
About two weeks later, your custom porcelain veneers come back from the lab. Dr. Hanam-Jahr checks the fit, color, and shape before bonding them permanently to your teeth. The whole process takes two appointments, and you walk out with a smile that lasts 10-15 years with normal care.
Veneers vs Other Cosmetic Options
Patients often ask how veneers compare to other treatments they’ve seen or tried. Here’s what makes each option different and when one works better than another.
| Porcelain Veneers | Composite Bonding | Whitening | |
| What it is | Custom ceramic shells bonded to front of teeth | Tooth-colored resin applied and shaped on teeth | Bleaching gel that lightens natural tooth color |
| Best for | Multiple issues, deep stains, reshaping smile | Small chips, minor gaps, single tooth fixes | Surface stains from coffee, wine, aging |
| Longevity | 10-15 years | 3-7 years | 6-12 months |
| Strength | Very strong, stain-resistant | Chips easier, can stain over time | No structural change to teeth |
| Maintenance | Regular brushing and cleanings | May need touch-ups or replacement | Repeat treatments as stains return |

Who Is a Good Candidate
Veneers work best when your teeth and gums are healthy to start with. You need enough natural enamel for the veneer to bond properly, and your gums should be free of active disease or inflammation. If you grind your teeth heavily at night, Dr. Hanam-Jahr may recommend a nightguard to protect your veneers after placement.
Your bite also matters because veneers need even pressure when you chew. If your teeth don’t come together right or you have a deep overbite, we might need to adjust that first. Good candidates usually want cosmetic improvements like whiter teeth, better shape, or a more even smile that lasts longer than other options.
Dr. Hanam-Jahr evaluates all of this during your consultation to make sure veneers are the right choice for you.
Cost and Insurance for Veneers
Porcelain veneers typically cost between $1,500 and $2,500 per tooth. Your total depends on how many veneers you need, the material we use, and how much prep work your teeth require. Some people only want six or eight veneers on their front teeth, while others need a full set of 10 or more for a balanced smile.
Most dental insurance plans don’t cover veneers because they’re considered cosmetic. If part of your treatment involves fixing a broken or damaged tooth, insurance might cover that portion. We offer flexible payment plans and work with financing companies to help break up the cost into manageable monthly payments. Dr. Hanam-Jahr gives you an exact quote during your consultation after she examines your teeth and understands what you want to change.

Porcelain Veneers FAQ’s
How long do porcelain veneers last?
People ask this because veneers are a long-term investment and they want to know how often they may need replacement. They also want reassurance that the teeth underneath will stay protected. This question usually comes from someone thinking about durability and long-term value.
What they should be asking instead: “How can I make my porcelain veneers last as long as possible?”
- Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years because the material is strong, stain resistant, and bonded securely to your tooth.
- Daily brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings help protect the edges where plaque can build up.
- Wearing a nightguard and avoiding habits like biting hard objects helps veneers last longer without chips or cracks.
Do porcelain veneers damage your teeth?
People ask this because they worry about removing enamel and whether the tooth becomes weaker afterward. They also want to know if veneers cause long-term harm. This question usually comes from someone deciding between veneers and less permanent cosmetic options.
What they should be asking instead: “How does proper veneer preparation keep my teeth healthy and strong?”
- Veneers require removing a thin layer of enamel, usually less than a millimeter, to make room for the porcelain.
- When done correctly, this preparation keeps the tooth strong because only the outer layer is shaped, not the underlying structure.
- The real risk comes from poor preparation, which is why choosing an experienced cosmetic dentist is essential for long-term health.
Porcelain Veneers FAQs – American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry
Are veneers worth the cost?
People ask this because veneers are a higher upfront investment than other cosmetic treatments. They want to know if the benefits match the price. This question usually comes from someone comparing veneers to bonding or repeated whitening.
What they should be asking instead: “How do veneers save time and money compared to multiple separate cosmetic treatments?”
- Veneers often turn out to be more cost-effective because they correct color, shape, and alignment at the same time.
- Many patients choose veneers because whitening or bonding cannot fix all their concerns or doesn’t last as long.
- The value comes from long-lasting results, custom design work, and specialized cosmetic skill that creates a natural smile.
Do veneers look natural?
People ask this because they do not want their teeth to look fake, overly white, or too uniform. They want a smile that matches their face, not something that looks artificial. This question usually comes from someone who has seen bad veneers on others and wants to avoid that result.
What they should be asking instead: “What makes porcelain veneers look natural and customized to my smile?”
- Well-designed veneers look natural because they are custom-shaped to your face and shaded to match your teeth.
- Materials like porcelain reflect light similar to enamel, giving them a lifelike appearance.
- A cosmetic dentist uses photos, facial measurements, and shade guides to design veneers that blend seamlessly with your smile.
