When it comes to smile design, patients from Atherton and the greater San Mateo County area often expect the highest level of precision, aesthetics, and artistry. That is why so many seek out Dr. Anthony Mobasser, widely known as the Celebrity Dentist in Beverly Hills, for porcelain veneers, minimal-prep veneers, and complete smile makeovers.
In this blog, we’ll explore why Atherton residents choose to travel to Beverly Hills, what makes porcelain veneers such a powerful aesthetic solution, and a real example of an Atherton patient’s transformation completed in just one week.
The Atherton Standard: Why Patients Seek Elite Cosmetic Dentistry
Atherton is one of the most affluent communities in California. Patients here care deeply about:
- Natural-looking cosmetic dentistry
- High-end porcelain veneers
- Long-lasting results
- Precise symmetry and youthful aesthetics
- Custom smile design — never “cookie-cutter” veneers
- A comfortable, streamlined experience
Because of this, many Atherton residents choose to travel for the best cosmetic dentist, even if it means flying to Los Angeles.
Dr. Mobasser’s Beverly Hills practice attracts patients from Atherton, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Woodside who want a celebrity-level smile makeover with meticulous planning and flawless execution.
Porcelain Veneers: The Gold Standard for Smile Makeovers
Porcelain veneers are thin, handcrafted porcelain shells that are bonded to the front of the teeth. When designed properly, veneers can transform:
- Tooth color
- 牙齿形状
- Symmetry
- Chips or wear
- Proportions
- Buccal corridor imbalance
- Smile arc
The difference between “average” veneers and elite veneers comes down to:
- The ceramist
- The dentist’s preparation technique
- Proper enamel preservation
- Artistic eye for proportion, color, and facial harmony
This is where Dr. Mobasser is considered one of the world’s best.
Minimal-Prep Veneers: A Patient Favorite in Atherton
Many Atherton patients request minimal-prep or ultra-thin porcelain veneers.
These veneers require only 0.3–0.5 mm of enamel contouring, which:
- Preserves healthy enamel
- Allows for the strongest bond
- Prevents unnecessary drilling
- Creates a more youthful translucency
- Results in natural, non-bulky veneers
The goal is always to protect the tooth structure while delivering a world-class aesthetic result.
Case Example: Atherton Patient Smile Transformation
One of our recent patients flew in from Atherton, CA seeking a complete smile makeover. She disliked her:
- Right-side teeth collapsing inward
- Asymmetric buccal corridor
- Uneven colors
- Old crown that did not match the rest of her smile
She also wanted everything completed as quickly as possible, ideally within one week.
Step 1: Comprehensive Evaluation
We performed:
- Full bite (occlusal) analysis
- Enamel and gum health evaluation
- Shade assessment
- Smile symmetry mapping
- Digital design and measurement
Step 2: Choosing Veneers + Crown Combination
Because one tooth already had a crown, a veneer was not an option for that tooth.
We decided on:
- 10 minimal-prep veneers
- 1 new porcelain crown
Step 3: Preparation Without Temporaries
- For the veneers, no temporaries were needed because enamel was preserved.
- Only the crown tooth received a temporary.
Step 4: Final Result in One Week
- In just 7 days, her new smile was delivered and bonded.
Outcome
- The transformation included:
- Even color and translucency
- Ideal tooth shape
- Perfect height-to-width ratio
- Balanced buccal corridors
- A bright, elegant, DaVinci-proportioned smile
She said the same phrase we hear weekly:
“I wish I had done this earlier.”
Can You Put a Veneer Over a Crown? Important Truth.
A key rule in cosmetic dentistry:
If a tooth already has a crown, you cannot place a veneer on top of it.
However:
- Veneers can always be redone.
- A veneer can be upgraded to a crown later if needed.
This is why proper evaluation is critical before beginning treatment.
How Much Do Veneers Cost for Atherton Patients?
A typical smile makeover with 10 veneers ranges around $40,000 – $65,000 depending on complexity and number of teeth involved. Our featured Atherton case totaled approximately $50,000.
This includes:
- Master ceramist custom work
- Enamel-preserving preparation
- Precision bonding
- Rapid turnaround
- Long-lasting, world-class aesthetics
Most patients say it is the best investment they ever made for their confidence.
