Porcelain Veneers in West Hollywood, CA
Do chipped teeth, minor gaps, or discoloration hold you back from showing off your smile? Porcelain veneers can transform it in as little as two visits. Custom dental veneers in West Hollywood, CA, deliver a whiter, straighter smile designed around your own facial features.
Understanding Your Treatment
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells that bond to the front surface of your teeth to improve their shape, size, alignment, and color. Several types of veneer material exist, and porcelain offers the most durable and dramatic results, providing a long-lasting solution for a more confident, natural smile.
The Benefits
The Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Natural Appearance
Porcelain reflects light much like natural tooth enamel does, which gives noticeably more attractive and believable results from every angle and in any light.
Stain Resistance
Custom-shaded porcelain resists staining, so coffee and tea are not the daily concern that they are with composite, with your daily coffee or tea.
Conservative Preparation
Veneers minimize how much tooth alteration is required when compared with placing a full-coverage crown on the same tooth for the same cosmetic result.
What to Expect
Our Step-by-Step Veneer Process
The porcelain veneer procedure is a two-visit process spread over roughly two weeks, with an optional preview appointment in between.
Request an Appointment- 01
Consultation
We examine your teeth to confirm they are healthy enough for veneers and that veneers will correct your specific concerns before any treatment begins.
- 02
Smile Design
You tell us what you want to achieve and bring reference photos, so the design reflects your personality and preferences and your everyday appearance.
- 03
Preparation Visit
Our dentist numbs your teeth, slightly reduces the enamel thickness, and takes a series of scans or impressions for our lab to fabricate your restorations.
- 04
Shade Selection
We select the exact porcelain shade for your case and fit you with temporary veneers while the permanent ones are carefully being fabricated.
- 05
Final Placement
About two weeks later, we check the fit, color, and shape, then bond your veneers using a special light-cured resin onto your prepared teeth.
Is It Right for You?
Signs Veneers May Be Right for You
People choose veneers for a number of reasons, and they are especially useful for addressing the concerns below.
-
Visible Gaps — Spaces between your front teeth trap food and draw attention away from the rest of an otherwise healthy smile when you talk or laugh.
-
Uneven Enamel — Misshapen teeth or an irregular biting edge make your smile look asymmetrical even when the teeth are perfectly healthy and evenly spaced in the arch.
-
Chipped Teeth — Small fractures along the biting edge are one of the most common reasons patients choose a veneer over simple bonding rather than a full veneer case.
-
Deep Discoloration — Staining that does not respond to professional whitening can be covered entirely with custom-shaded porcelain veneers bonded to your front teeth.

What Our Patients Say
- ★★★★★
Thank you to Weho Dental studio and Dr Rivas for helping me get over my fear of going to the dentist. Felt immediately at home with her and her lovely staff. From the front desk to the hygienist, I really felt like they genuinely cared about my dental health, rather than some of the other offices I’ve been to that immediately tried to push tons of treatments. Dr Rivas and her staff took care of me, happy to call this my dental home. Thank you for making fillings and a crown a pleasant experience!
- ★★★★★
Dr. Rivas was awesome! Staff are great and friendly. I was surprised that my filling took less than an hour and I did not feel any inch of pain. The procedure was so smooth and appreciate that Dr. Lisa walked me through to every step. Highly recommended!

- ★★★★★
I reached out to Dr. Rivas regarding the extraction of my number 16 wisdom tooth. My previous dentist referred me to an oral surgeon who wanted to extract the other three wisdom teeth even though I am not experiencing any issues and during that time I never had any consultative discussions with the surgeon. I connected with Dr. Rivas and she was thorough and transparent when speaking over the phone and she shared that she would be able to extract my tooth. During the procedure, she was extremely caring, asked if I was numbed properly, and checked in with me frequently during the procedure. I did not feel a thing and I was shocked on how fast she was able to successfully extract my tooth. I highly recommend Dr. Rivas and her staff and I commend them for their professionalism and caring nature. I live in the Inland Empire and will be driving to West Hollywood since Dr. Rivas will be my dentist moving forward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Don't see the answer you're looking for? Call us at (310) 278-9121.
Do veneers ruin my teeth?
No. Veneers will not hurt your teeth, and the materials used to bond them contain no toxic chemicals that would damage the underlying enamel.
Will veneers fade over time?
Veneers can dull slightly, and whitening strips will not brighten them. Our dentist can polish away stains and discoloration to restore their brilliance.
Can I drink coffee with veneers?
Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, so coffee and tea are fine. Composite resin veneers are more prone to staining and require more caution.
How many veneers will I need?
Most patients choose six to ten veneers across the upper front teeth for the most complete transformation, depending on how wide their smile is.
How much do veneers in West Hollywood, CA, cost?
Fees vary with material and quantity, and most porcelain veneer treatments average between $925 and $2,500 per tooth. Per-tooth cost usually drops as quantity rises.
How Can I Look Like a Movie Star with Porcelain Veneers?
Many of our West Hollywood, CA, patients choose veneers to enhance their most visible top front teeth. This typically involves 6-10 veneers for the most dazzling smile transformation. As we design your new smile at West Hollywood Dental Studio, your input is key! What would you like to achieve? Are there specific features you’d like to change? Feel free to bring photos of smiles you admire (or even ones you don’t!) to help us understand your unique preferences. Our goal is a custom-designed smile that reflects your personality and lets your inner confidence shine.
How Do I Care for Cosmetic Veneers?
Taking care of your veneers is simple and easy. Just treat them like you would your natural teeth! Brush and floss regularly to remove plaque and food particles, and be sure to schedule regular check-ups and cleanings with our team to keep your smile healthy. Even though veneers can’t get cavities, the tooth behind them still can. Also, be sure not to bite into anything hard or hold things in your mouth, as it could chip your veneers. Our West Hollywood dentist recommends sleeping in a protective nightguard to help them last as long as possible and schedule routine cleanings and exams every six months. • Schedule regular checkups • Brush and floss daily • Don’t use your teeth to open packages • Use mouthguards and nightguards when appropriate • Avoid chewing your nails
