Cosmetic Dentistry
Ultra-thin no-prep veneers for a stunning smile — reversible and gentle on your natural teeth. Serving La Jolla & Chula Vista, CA.
Lumineers® are ultra-thin porcelain veneers designed to enhance your smile with little to no tooth reduction. They provide a natural, long-lasting result while improving the color, shape, and symmetry of your teeth with a minimally invasive approach.
At Elite Smiles of La Jolla, with Elite Dental Care as our Chula Vista location, we provide personalized cosmetic dental treatments designed to create natural, long-lasting results. While some procedures can be completed in one visit, others may require multiple appointments to achieve the best outcome. For patients comparing cosmetic options, porcelain veneers, composite veneers, smile makeovers, and professional teeth whitening may also be discussed during your consultation. Patients with more significant alignment concerns may benefit from professionally supervised clear aligner treatment before receiving Lumineers.
Lumineers can be a conservative cosmetic option for patients who want a brighter, more even smile with little to no enamel reduction.

"I've been to Dr. Seraj's office three times and I am satisfied with the way I am treated, the atmosphere and the care. Dr. Seraj is a perfectionist and seems committed to have her patients' teeth as perfect as can be.
