Design Your Perfect Smile

Looking to improve the look of your smile without years of treatment? Veneers offer a fast, natural-looking way to transform stained, chipped, or uneven teeth. At Coastal Smiles, Dr. Jaycee Lim custom designs every set of veneers using advanced imaging and an eye for detail, so your results look like you, only brighter.

A Complete Smile Upgrade in Just a Few Visits

Veneers can dramatically change your smile in just two or three appointments. You don’t have to wait months for results, and there's no need for braces or years of whitening.

Comfort and Flexibility

Using digital imaging, Dr. Lim maps out your smile to ensure the final result complements your face, bite, and natural teeth. No generic shapes or oversized “Hollywood” smiles—just a clean, confident look that fits you.

Minimal Tooth Adjustment, Maximum Impact

Only a thin layer of enamel is gently removed to make space for the veneers. You keep your natural tooth structure while gaining lasting results that resist stains and wear.

How Veneers Can Makeover Your Smile

Veneers are a great solution for cosmetic issues that don’t respond well to other treatments:

Stains or discoloration from medications, trauma, or deep staining
Small gaps between teeth without the need for braces
Worn-down or chipped teeth from grinding or daily wear
Mild crookedness or uneven alignment
Irregular size or shape that throws off the smile balance

Are Veneers Right for Me?

Veneers are ideal for people who:

Have healthy teeth and gums, but aren’t happy with how their smile looks
Want long-lasting cosmetic results without surgery or months of orthodontics
Are looking to fix multiple concerns (color, shape, size, alignment) at once
Prefer a fixed, low-maintenance solution over frequent whitening or temporary fixes

If you grind your teeth or have active gum disease, we’ll talk about what adjustments or additional care may be needed to get the best result.

What to Expect During Treatment

This is not a one-size-fits-all solution. At Coastal Smiles, your veneers are designed to fit your face, your smile goals, and your lifestyle. From first scan to final placement, your care is fully tailored and never rushed.

Step 1

Consultation + Smile Preview

We start with a conversation. Dr. Lim will ask about what you’d like to change, take digital scans, and show you a preview of your future smile. You’ll get to ask questions and help shape the final look.

Step 2

Tooth Prep + Temporary

At your next visit, we gently prepare your teeth, removing only a thin layer of enamel. We then take precise impressions and fit you with natural-looking temporaries so you can try out your new smile while your custom veneers are being made.

Step 3

Final Veneer Placement

Once your porcelain veneers return from the lab, we check fit, comfort, and appearance. After final adjustments, each veneer is carefully bonded into place. You’ll leave with a smooth, natural-feeling smile that’s ready to go.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I whiten if I have crowns, fillings, or veneers?

Whitening doesn’t change the color of restorations, but we’ll help you plan your treatment so your smile looks even and natural. In some cases, we may recommend updating old restorations after whitening.

How long do veneers last?

With proper care and maintenance, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or longer.

Are veneers permanent?

Yes, veneers are considered a permanent restoration since a small amount of enamel must be removed during preparation.

Will veneers look natural?

Our custom veneers are crafted to match your natural teeth in color, translucency, and light reflection for seamless results.

How many veneers will I need?

The number of veneers needed depends on your smile goals and which teeth show when you smile. We typically recommend treating teeth in pairs for the most natural appearance.

Is the procedure painful?

Local anesthetic ensures your comfort during preparation. Most patients experience minimal to no discomfort.

How do I care for veneers?

Care for veneers just like natural teeth with regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups. Avoid biting hard objects or using teeth as tools.

Can veneers stain?

Porcelain veneers are highly stain-resistant and maintain their color over time.

Are veneers covered by insurance?

Since veneers are considered cosmetic, they typically aren't covered by insurance. We offer flexible financing options to help make treatment affordable.

How long does the process take?

Most veneer cases are completed in 2-3 visits over a few weeks.

What if a veneer gets damaged?

While veneers are durable, they can chip or break like natural teeth. Damaged veneers can usually be replaced individually without replacing the entire set.
