Ever notice yourself smiling with your lips closed in photos? A lot of our patients tell us that's the first habit that changed after they got porcelain veneers.

Veneers are thin, custom porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth. They can cover chips, stubborn stains, small gaps, and teeth that are a little uneven, and they still look like natural teeth. As a cosmetic dentist in San Mateo, Dr. Sheena Phan designs each set around your face, your bite, and a shade that suits you, so the result looks like you on a really good day.

Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments we offer, and the consultation is where it all starts. We'll give you an honest look at your options with no pressure.

A lot of patients ask us why dental implants are worth the investment compared to other options like bridges or dentures. The biggest reason is what happens underneath the surface. Because the implant post fuses directly with your jawbone, it helps preserve bone density in a way that other replacement options cannot. That means less shifting, less bone loss over time, and a replacement tooth that can last for decades with good care. It is a bigger process up front, but for a lot of patients it ends up being the most stable, long-term solution.

If you want to know whether implants make sense for your situation, Dr. Phan is happy to walk you through it.

Thinking about porcelain veneers but not sure what is actually involved? Here is how it works at San Mateo Dental Arts. We start with a consultation to talk about what you want to change, whether that is chips, gaps, discoloration, or shape. From there, Dr. Phan preps a thin layer of the tooth surface and takes an impression so your veneers can be custom made to fit your smile and match the shade you want. Once they are ready, we bond them into place, and you leave with a refreshed smile that still looks and feels natural. Most patients are surprised at how much can be addressed in just a couple of visits.

If you have been curious about veneers, we are happy to walk you through whether they are the right fit for you.
