Veneers that disappear into your smile
A veneer is a thin layer bonded to the front of a tooth to refine its color, shape, or proportion. At City of Angels Dentistry, Dr. Kevin Chin offers options, so your treatment can be as conservative as your smile allows.
- Prepless veneers
Bond over your natural enamel with little to no reduction, preserving healthy tooth structure.
- Composite veneers
Sculpted by hand in a single visit, shaping tooth-colored material directly onto your teeth.
- Porcelain veneers
Custom-crafted in a dental lab for a refined, lasting result, ideal when teeth need more substantial correction.
At your consultation, Dr. Chin helps you find the Los Angeles dental veneers option that suits your teeth and your goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Prepless veneers are a great fit when your teeth are healthy, reasonably aligned, and you’re looking to refine color, small chips, or minor gaps. If your teeth would benefit from a bit more correction, Dr. Chin may suggest porcelain with light preparation instead. He’ll walk you through the right option for you at your consultation.
With good hygiene and a nightguard, porcelain veneers often last a decade or more, while composite is easier to refresh and touch up along the way. In the end, how long they last depends most on your bite and your daily habits, and Dr. Chin will show you how to care for them.
That’s the whole goal. Dr. Chin designs each veneer to suit your facial proportions rather than a one-size-fits-all template, so your smile looks like a naturally beautiful version of your own, never obvious or overdone.
Because veneers in Los Angeles are usually considered cosmetic, they aren’t typically covered, though restorative parts of a treatment sometimes are. While we’re out of network, we estimate your benefits, file PPO claims for you, and offer financing through CareCredit and Cherry.

Our veneer process at City of Angels Dentistry
The candidacy conversation
Dr. Chin reviews your enamel, gum health, and bite to see whether veneers are the right fit, or whether a step like alignment or gum care would come first. You'll get a clear, honest answer either way.
The design
Photographs and an iTero 3D scan replace putty impressions. Shade and proportion are chosen with you, against your face rather than a shade guide alone.
Preparation, if any
Prepless and composite cases skip this entirely. Porcelain cases involve minimal, measured reduction and a temporary while the lab works.
The bond
Your veneers are tried in, adjusted against your bite, and bonded once you have seen them and said yes.
The nightguard
A custom nightguard protects your veneers from the wear of grinding, helping them stay beautiful for years to come.
The craft behind every veneer
Dr. Chin brings both clinical precision and an artist's eye to veneer work, drawing on his UCLA cosmetic training, functional occlusion training at the Kois Center, and membership in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. That background is why he designs your bite and your smile together, so your Los Angeles veneers look beautiful and feel comfortable for the long term.
He also partners with skilled ceramists chosen for the quality of their porcelain work, using materials selected to look and last their best.
