Porcelain Veneers: The Instant Smile Makeover

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth. They can improve:

  • Stained or discolored teeth
  • Chipped or broken teeth
  • Misshapen teeth
  • Gaps between teeth

Next Step

Schedule a consultation. During your visit, Dr. Maggie Abadan will examine your teeth, discuss your smile goals, and let you know if veneers are right for you.

Teeth Whitening

Safe, fast, and affordable. Let us know at any appointment if you’d like to brighten your smile. You can choose to whiten only your upper teeth or both upper and lower teeth, depending on how much you show when you talk and smile. Your custom bleaching splints will be ready to pick up within a day or two.

Our Carmel Valley dentist supplies a professional bleaching gel that you place into the clear splints. With just a few hours of wear each day, the gel lightens tooth color quickly without altering tooth structure or affecting existing dental work.

  • Upper only: Ideal if you show mostly your top teeth when you smile.
  • Upper & lower: For a fuller, more balanced brightening.
  • Turnaround: Custom splints ready in 1–2 days.

Dental Bonding: The Fast, Affordable Way to Correct Cosmetic Issues

Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored composite resin to repair chips, reshape teeth, and enhance your smile’s appearance. It’s a faster and more affordable alternative to porcelain veneers, though there are some trade-offs to consider.

The resin can be custom-tinted to match your surrounding teeth for a natural look. However, bonding typically isn’t as lifelike or durable as porcelain. Because the material is more porous, it can stain over time and may not last as long as porcelain veneers.

  • Fast & affordable compared to porcelain veneers
  • Custom-tinted for a seamless match
  • Best for: small chips, gaps, or reshaping teeth
  • Keep in mind: more porous material may stain or wear sooner
