Dr. Hall,
I am really considering getting veneers but am afraid they will not hold as I have fillings on my front two teeth. Also, can you recommend a good cosmetic dentist who specializes in veneers in Los Angeles county?
Your response is greatly appreciated.

Dear Anna,
The bonding material used to bond porcelain veneers to your teeth is completely chemically compatible with the filling material in the fillings you have on those front two teeth. In other words, the fillings would chemically unite with the bonding material to form one solid piece. So you can get veneers over fillings without any worry.
As far as recommending someone who specializes in porcelain veneers, I carefully screen every dentist on our list, and they all do beautiful porcelain veneers. You have a number to choose from, if you just go to our list of Southern California cosmetic dentists. They’re all terrific and I am absolutely confident any one of them will give you a gorgeous smile. That’s why they’re on our list.
