Types of Veneers in Beverly Hills
Every smile deserves a custom approach. Compare porcelain, composite, and zirconia veneers designed for lasting beauty.
Types of Veneers
Every smile tells a story and every veneer is designed to enhance it in a different way. At Bedford Dental Group in Beverly Hills, Dr. Daniel Naysan offers several types of dental veneers to fit each patient’s aesthetic goals, budget, and long-term needs.
Understanding the differences between porcelain, composite, zirconia, and prepless veneers can help you choose a treatment that aligns with your lifestyle and delivers results that feel as natural as they look.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are widely considered the gold standard in cosmetic dentistry. These ultra-thin, handcrafted shells are made from high-quality dental porcelain that mimics the natural translucency of enamel. They are custom-designed to match the shape, color, and contour of your smile, offering a seamless and luminous finish.
Why Patients Choose Porcelain Veneers
Excellent color stability and stain resistance
Highly durable and long-lasting (often 10–15 years or more)
Natural light-reflecting properties for lifelike aesthetics
Ideal for addressing chips, cracks, gaps, or discoloration
Porcelain veneers are perfect for patients seeking a long-term smile transformation with enduring brilliance.
Composite Veneers
Composite veneers are made from a tooth-colored resin applied and sculpted directly onto the teeth. They can typically be completed in a single visit and are a cost-effective way to correct minor cosmetic imperfections.
Advantages of Composite Veneers
Same-day results with minimal enamel removal
Lower initial cost compared to porcelain
Easily repairable if chipped or damaged
Custom shading for a natural appearance
Composite veneers are best for patients seeking a fast, affordable improvement to their smile without the commitment of porcelain. With proper care, they can last 5–7 years.
Prepless Veneers (No-Prep or Minimal-Prep)
For patients who want to preserve as much of their natural tooth structure as possible, prepless veneers offer a conservative alternative. Often referred to as no-prep veneers, these are crafted from ultra-thin porcelain and bonded directly to the tooth surface with little to no enamel reduction.
Brands like Lumineers® and DURAthin® fall into this category, providing a reversible option that still delivers impressive cosmetic results.
Best Candidates for Prepless Veneers
Mild discoloration or stains
Slightly uneven or worn teeth
Small gaps between teeth
Patients who prefer minimal alteration to natural enamel
Prepless veneers can often be placed without anesthesia and may require fewer visits than traditional veneers.
Zirconia Veneers
When strength and resilience are the top priorities, zirconia veneers provide exceptional durability. These veneers are made from zirconium dioxide, a ceramic material known for its ability to withstand heavy chewing forces while maintaining a natural appearance.
Benefits of Zirconia Veneers
Ideal for restoring heavily worn or damaged teeth
High resistance to chipping and cracking
Stain-resistant and long-lasting
Suitable for posterior (back) teeth that need extra support
Because of their robust design, zirconia veneers are often recommended for patients with more extensive wear or for back teeth where strength is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Some patients choose to pair porcelain veneers on front teeth with zirconia veneers on molars for added strength. Your treatment plan can be personalized for both aesthetics and function.
Prepless veneers are thinner and slightly less durable, but they’re ideal for patients who want a reversible or minimally invasive solution. They typically last around 7–10 years with proper care.
Porcelain and zirconia veneers resist staining far better than natural enamel. Composite veneers are more porous and may require periodic polishing to maintain brightness.
Mild misalignments can often be corrected with veneers, though moderate or severe crowding may be better addressed with Invisalign® or orthodontic treatment first.
Minor chips can sometimes be repaired, but significant damage usually requires replacement. Regular dental checkups help ensure longevity and address issues early.
