If you're looking to enhance the shape, color, or overall appearance of your smile, porcelain veneers offer one of the most effective cosmetic solutions available. Dr. Mahnaz Moussavi, trained in UCLA's Cosmetic Dentistry program, has been creating beautifully natural veneer smiles for patients throughout Folsom and Sacramento since 1999.
What Veneers Can Correct
Veneers are thin, custom-crafted layers of porcelain bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They're an excellent option for correcting:
- Misshapen or irregularly sized teeth
- Discoloration that doesn't respond to whitening
- Chipped or fractured teeth
- Minor misalignment — often without the need for orthodontic treatment

Frequently Asked Questions
Are veneers permanent?
Veneers require a small amount of enamel removal to place, making the process generally irreversible, though the veneers themselves can be replaced as needed over time.
How many veneers do I need?
This depends on your goals — some patients choose a single veneer to correct one tooth, while others opt for a full set to redesign their entire smile.
Can veneers fix crooked teeth instead of braces?
For minor misalignment, veneers can create the appearance of straighter teeth without orthodontic treatment. More significant misalignment may still require Invisalign or braces first.
