Porcelain Veneers in Marysville, CA
Custom porcelain shells that transform chips, gaps, and discoloration into a natural-looking smile
A New Smile in Just Two Visits
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They can correct a wide range of cosmetic concerns — chips, cracks, gaps, uneven teeth, and discoloration that does not respond to whitening.
At Charles F. Kattuah, DDS in Marysville, Dr. Kattuah designs every set of veneers to complement your facial features and achieve a natural, balanced result — not a one-size-fits-all look.
Natural Appearance
Porcelain mimics the translucency of real enamel for results that look and feel natural.
Stain Resistant
High-quality porcelain resists staining from coffee, tea, and wine better than natural enamel.
Custom Design
Each veneer is custom-shaped and shade-matched to complement your facial features.
Your Veneer Journey
Consultation and Design
Dr. Kattuah evaluates your smile, discusses your goals, and designs veneers matched to your tooth shade and facial structure.
Preparation and Impressions
A small amount of enamel is removed, impressions are taken, and temporary veneers are placed while your permanent set is crafted.
Bonding
Your custom veneers are checked for fit, shade, and shape, then permanently bonded for a beautiful, lasting result.
Porcelain vs. Composite Veneers
Porcelain veneers provide the most natural appearance and longest-lasting results. Dr. Kattuah takes the time to discuss which material is best suited to your goals, budget, and dental health.
Caring for Your Veneers
Porcelain veneers are durable, but they benefit from the same thoughtful care you would give your natural teeth. Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste and floss every evening to keep the gum line around each veneer healthy and free of plaque buildup. A soft-bristled toothbrush is ideal — stiff bristles can gradually dull the polished surface over time.
Certain habits can shorten the life of your veneers. Chewing ice, biting pen caps, or using your front teeth to open packaging places unnecessary stress on the porcelain. If you grind or clench your teeth at night, Dr. Kattuah may recommend a custom nightguard to protect both your veneers and your natural enamel while you sleep.
Regular checkups at Charles F. Kattuah, DDS allow us to examine each veneer for early signs of wear, check the integrity of the bond, and professionally clean areas that are difficult to reach at home. These visits are an important part of keeping your smile looking its best for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care. Regular dental visits help maintain their appearance and longevity.
The process usually involves two visits. At the first, Dr. Kattuah prepares the teeth and takes impressions. At the second, the custom veneers are bonded in place.
A thin layer of enamel is removed to place the veneer, so the process is irreversible. However, veneers protect the front surface of the tooth and the preparation is minimal and carefully controlled.
Whitening addresses surface staining, while veneers can correct shape, size, gaps, and deeper discoloration. Dr. Kattuah will help you choose during a consultation.
