Ultra-Thin Shells. Dramatic Results.
Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin shells — about the thickness of a contact lens — custom-crafted to bond to the front surface of your teeth. They can dramatically change the color, shape, size, and length of your teeth in as few as two dental visits.
Dr. Aldaya takes great care to design each veneer so it looks completely natural. The goal is never a "Hollywood" look that feels fake — it's a smile that looks like yours, just perfected.

- Severe discoloration (stains whitening won't remove)

Questions
Veneers FAQ — San Diego
How much do veneers cost in San Diego, CA?
Porcelain veneers cost $1,200–$2,500 per tooth. A full smile (8–10 teeth) ranges from $10,000–$25,000. Composite veneers are available from $400–$1,500 per tooth. Financing available.
How long do porcelain veneers last in San Diego?
Porcelain veneers last 10–20 years with proper care. Composites last 5–7 years. Regular checkups and avoiding habits like nail-biting extend their life significantly.
Are veneers reversible?
Traditional veneers require removing a thin layer of enamel — this is permanent. No-prep options like Lumineers preserve more tooth structure. Dr. Aldaya will explain what's right for your smile.
What problems can veneers fix?
Severe staining, chips, cracks, minor misalignment, gaps, and uneven sizing. Veneers address cosmetic concerns that whitening or bonding alone can't fully correct.
Do veneers look natural?
Yes. Modern porcelain veneers mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural enamel. When crafted by an experienced cosmetic dentist, they are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
