At Hales Aesthetic in Orange County, we believe your smile should reflect your personality, confidence, and natural beauty — no matter how long you’ve had veneers. I’m Dr. Tyler Hales, and one of the things I’m most passionate about is helping patients rediscover themselves through smile transformations. Whether you’ve had your veneers for decades or you’re just not happy with how they turned out elsewhere, replacing them can be a life-changing step.
Let’s talk about what’s possible when it comes to upgrading your veneers — and how Harmony Veneers can help you fall in love with your smile again.
Why Patients Replace Their Veneers
Veneers are a powerful tool in cosmetic dentistry, but that doesn’t mean they last forever — or that every patient ends up happy with their first result. Here are some of the most common reasons we see patients seeking replacements:
1. Aesthetic Dissatisfaction
Some patients come to us only a few weeks or months after getting veneers placed elsewhere. They invested a lot — financially and emotionally — and feel disappointed with the result. Maybe the veneers are too bulky, too white, or just don’t feel like “them.”
We listen closely to their story and ask the questions that may have been skipped the first time around. Then, we craft a plan that’s personalized, artistic, and designed to feel like a perfect fit — because it is.
2. Aging Veneers
If your veneers are over 10–20 years old, it might be time for a refresh. Older materials tend to lose their luster and can start to show wear. We often see:
- Discoloration
- Gum recession
- Visible metal underneath the porcelain
- Cracks, chips, or wear from years of use
Today’s materials are not only more durable — they also offer more natural-looking, lifelike aesthetics. A modern upgrade can make your smile brighter, healthier-looking, and even take years off your appearance.
3. Functional Issues
Sometimes, old veneers cause or reveal functional issues, especially as your bite changes with age. A misaligned bite can create uneven wear or increase the risk of fractures. When we replace veneers, we always evaluate how the upper and lower teeth come together — because your new smile should look great and function comfortably.
Why Choose Harmony Veneers for Your Upgrade?
At Hales Aesthetic, we’ve developed a unique approach to smile transformations with Harmony Veneers. Here’s what sets them apart:
1. A Natural, Customized Look
Harmony Veneers are built to harmonize with your unique features — face shape, lip line, tooth proportions, skin tone, and personality. No two smiles are alike, and neither are the veneers we design.
2. Conservative, Thoughtful Treatment
When replacing old veneers, we take a minimally invasive approach. We assess how much healthy tooth structure is still present and preserve as much as possible. Our goal is always long-term health and beauty.
3. Designed to Boost Confidence
Veneers should never feel fake or forced. We focus on building smiles that feel authentic to the person wearing them — because confidence starts when you recognize yourself in the mirror.
Patient Story: A 20-Year Veneer Transformation
One of our recent patients came in with veneers she’d had for over two decades. The veneers were discolored and had visible metal underneath. Her gums had receded, and the smile looked tired. She told us she was ready for something brighter, more youthful — something that made her feel like herself again.
We replaced her old veneers with customized Harmony Veneers that brought back vibrance, symmetry, and natural beauty. The result? A smile that made her look 20 years younger — and helped her feel like it, too.
The Smile Upgrade Process: What to Expect
Every veneer replacement is different, but here’s what the typical journey looks like at Hales Aesthetic:
Step 1: Consultation with Maddie
Whether you’re in Orange County or across the country, the journey starts with a conversation. Maddie, our concierge, will walk you through our process, discuss pricing, and get to know your goals and concerns.
Step 2: Personalized Planning with Dr. Hales
Next, I’ll meet with you — either virtually or in person — to review your existing veneers and discuss what we can do differently this time. We’ll look at similar case studies and begin to shape a vision for your new smile.
Step 3: Digital Smile Design + Mockups
We take 3D scans of your teeth and create a digital mockup of your new smile. You’ll get to preview changes in tooth shape, alignment, and color. Many patients also try a “test drive” — temporary veneers that let you see and feel the transformation before finalizing the design.
Step 4: Removing Old Veneers Conservatively
We gently remove your old veneers, preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. We evaluate your teeth underneath to determine if minimal additional prep is needed for a seamless fit.
Step 5: Placement of Your New Harmony Veneers
Your new veneers are handcrafted with our trusted master ceramist. Every detail — from translucency to texture — is designed to mimic natural teeth and complement your unique look.
Why Patients Travel to Orange County for Their Smile Makeovers
We’re honored to welcome patients from all over the country to our Orange County practice. Many have struggled to find a provider in their area who specializes in veneer replacement with the level of customization and artistry we offer.
Replacing veneers is more than just a redo — it’s an opportunity to get it right. We’ve become known for smile upgrades that feel and look natural, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Is It Time to Upgrade Your Veneers?
Here are a few signs it may be time to consider a replacement:
✅ You’re unhappy with the look of your current veneers
✅ Your veneers are over 10–15 years old
✅ Your gums have receded, revealing dark edges or gaps
✅ Your bite feels off, or your veneers have chipped
✅ You’re ready for a more modern, natural-looking smile
If any of these sound like you, we’d love to show you what’s possible.
