Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth to correct color, shape, size, or spacing issues. They're a popular option for patients who want a natural-looking, long-lasting improvement without more invasive treatment. Veneers can correct discolored or stained teeth, gaps, chips, minor misalignment, and uneven tooth size — though they're a cosmetic solution, not intended for major bite or structural issues. Getting veneers typically takes two visits: the first to prepare your teeth and take an impression for your custom veneers, the second to fit, check, and bond them into place.

Sometimes the smallest adjustments make the biggest difference. Tooth reshaping and contouring gently adjusts the length, shape, or surface of a tooth to correct minor chips, overlaps, or uneven edges — often in a single visit. It's frequently used alongside whitening or bonding as part of a broader smile makeover, or on its own for small cosmetic touch-ups.

Not every smile transformation comes from a single treatment. A smile makeover combines two or more cosmetic treatments — veneers, whitening, reshaping, or clear aligners — into one personalized plan built around your goals. Dr. Basson will walk you through your options during a consultation and design a plan that fits your timeline.

With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years before they may need replacement. Avoiding habits like nail-biting or chewing on hard objects helps them last even longer.

We design every cosmetic treatment around a shade and shape that complements your natural smile, not a one-size-fits-all look. During your consultation, Dr. Basson will discuss options so your results look bright and healthy, not artificial.

A smile makeover is a good fit if you're unhappy with more than one aspect of your smile, such as color, shape, spacing, or alignment. Dr. Basson will evaluate your smile during a consultation and recommend a combination of treatments tailored to your goals and timeline.

No. Tooth reshaping and contouring is a minimally invasive procedure that adjusts only the outer enamel, so it typically requires little to no anesthesia. Most patients feel little to no discomfort during or after treatment.

The first step is a consultation with Dr. Basson, where we'll discuss your goals, examine your smile, and recommend the right treatment or combination of treatments. Contact our Pasadena office to schedule your visit.
