Porcelain Veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length. We recommend this treatment to anyone experiencing discoloration that cannot be fixed with whitening or if your teeth are damaged. Porcelain veneers are also an option if you’re unhappy with the shape or look of your natural teeth. request an appointment
The Best Dental Veneers in Malibu, CA – Transform Your Smile at Thomas Hirsch DDS
Discover the power of a beautiful smile with our premium dental veneers service at Thomas Hirsch DDS in Malibu. Our expert team is committed to providing you with high-quality, custom-made veneers that enhance your smile and boost your confidence.
What are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are an excellent solution for improving your smile and are commonly used to address various dental issues such as:
- Teeth that are discolored — either because of root canal treatment, stains from particular drugs, excessive fluoride, or large resin fillings that have discolored the tooth
- Teeth that are worn down
- Teeth that are chipped or broken
- Teeth that are misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped
- Teeth with gaps between them to enhance the appearance of your smile
Why Choose Veneers in Malibu?
Veneers offer a conservative approach to changing a tooth’s color and shape; veneers generally don’t require the extensive shaping that crowns do, yet offer a stronger, more aesthetic alternative. With veneers, you can achieve a natural tooth appearance with minimal discomfort. Plus, gum tissue tolerates porcelain well, making veneers a comfortable choice.
Our Veneers Process
Consultation and Planning: Your journey to a flawless smile begins with a detailed consultation where Dr. Hirsch discusses your aesthetic goals and examines your teeth to ensure veneers are the best option for you.
Customization and Creation: Impressions of your teeth will be taken and sent to a dental lab where your custom veneers are crafted to the exact specifications needed to transform your smile.
Application: Once your veneers are ready, you’ll return for fitting, adjustments, and bonding. Dr. Hirsch ensures every detail is perfect, providing a comfortable fit and a seamless match to your natural teeth.
Caring for Your Veneers
Caring for your veneers is simple and does not require any special products. Regular brushing, flossing, and visits to the dentist will ensure your veneers and overall dental health are maintained. We recommend using non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste and avoiding excessive force or biting hard objects.

Q&A for Cosmetic Dentistry Veneers in Malibu
What are dental veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from tooth-colored materials (such as porcelain or resin) designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are used to improve the appearance of teeth by adjusting their color, shape, size, or length.
Who is a good candidate for veneers?
Ideal candidates for veneers are individuals looking to correct issues such as chips, cracks, gaps between teeth, minor misalignments, or discolorations that do not respond well to whitening treatments. During your consultation at our Malibu clinic, Dr. Hirsch will assess your dental health and aesthetic goals to determine if veneers are suitable for you.
How long do veneers last?
With proper care and maintenance, porcelain veneers can last between 10 to 15 years. Resin veneers may need to be replaced sooner. We recommend regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices to extend the life of your veneers.
Are veneers reversible?
Because the process of applying veneers involves removing a small amount of enamel from your natural teeth, it is generally considered a non-reversible treatment. However, veneers can be replaced if damaged or worn out.
Do veneers require special care?
Veneers do not require special care beyond regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. However, we advise avoiding excessive force or biting hard objects, as this can damage veneers just as it can natural teeth.
How much do veneers cost?
The cost of veneers varies depending on the material used and the number of teeth being treated. Our Malibu clinic offers various financing options to make the process affordable. During your consultation, we will provide a detailed cost estimate based on your specific needs.
Can veneers be whitened?
Once veneers are placed, they cannot be whitened like natural teeth. If you are considering whitening your teeth, it’s best to do so before getting veneers so they can be matched to the whiter shade of your teeth.
What is the process for getting veneers?
The process typically involves three visits to our clinic: one for a consultation and two to make and apply the veneers. During the first visit, we will discuss your goals, take impressions of your teeth, and prepare the teeth by removing a small amount of enamel. On the second visit, we will fit and bond the veneers to your teeth, ensuring a natural and comfortable fit.
