Transform Your Smile with Custom Porcelain Veneers

At Mark S. Murphy, DDS, we offer beautiful, long-lasting veneers to help you achieve the confident, radiant smile you’ve always wanted. Veneers are ultra-thin shells made from high-quality porcelain that are carefully bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They can correct a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including:

  • Chips and cracks

  • Stubborn discoloration

  • Uneven or misshapen teeth

  • Small gaps between teeth

  • Slight misalignment

Our dental team in Castro Valley takes a highly personalized approach, using precise digital imaging and advanced materials to ensure every veneer fits naturally and enhances your unique facial features.

What to Expect During the Veneer Process

Getting veneers at our Castro Valley dental office is a smooth and minimally invasive process that usually takes two appointments:

  1. Consultation and Preparation: Dr. Mark Murphy or Dr. Mackenzie Murphy will perform a detailed smile evaluation, discuss your goals, and determine if veneers are the right choice for you. Once you’re ready to proceed, a small amount of enamel is removed to prepare the teeth, and digital impressions are taken.

  2. Custom Veneer Placement: Your veneers are crafted in a dental lab to your exact specifications. When they’re ready, we bond them securely to your teeth, fine-tuning their fit and appearance for a flawless result.

Veneers are highly stain-resistant, durable, and designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. With proper care, they can last 10–15 years or more.

Are Veneers Right for You?

Veneers are an ideal option for patients who:

  • Want a complete cosmetic transformation with minimal dental work

  • Have good oral health with no active decay or gum disease

  • Do not clench or grind their teeth excessively

  • Are seeking a long-term, low-maintenance solution for aesthetic improvements

If you're unsure whether veneers are the best option, we may also recommend alternatives like Smile Makeovers or SureSmile aligners, depending on your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Veneers

  1. How long do veneers last?: With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, porcelain veneers can last between 10 to 15 years or longer.

  2. Are veneers reversible?: Because a small amount of enamel is removed, veneers are considered irreversible. However, they are long-term cosmetic solutions with natural-looking results.

  3. Do veneers require special care?: No, but good oral hygiene is essential. Brush and floss daily, and avoid habits like biting hard objects or using your teeth as tools.

  4. Can veneers stain like natural teeth?: Porcelain veneers are highly stain-resistant, especially compared to natural tooth enamel.

  5. Are veneers painful to get?: Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure. We ensure your comfort with local anesthesia during the preparation phase.
