When choosing a dental veneers dentist it is important to pick one who has the right experience and training in cosmetic dentistry techniques. It is equally important to select a dentist who will take the time to understand you and your aesthetic dental goals and who possesses the skill and artistry to deliver your exact vision. Settling for anything less is exactly how some people wind up with dental veneers that look unnatural and with disproportionate smiles that just don’t properly fit their faces.
When you come to our Beverly Hills office for dental veneers, we will start by sitting down with you one-on-one to learn everything we can about your smile. This process can be time-consuming and will more than likely be the most comprehensive dental consultation you have ever had but it is absolutely necessary to achieving superior results.

Further, we do not believe in cutting corners so when it comes to the materials that are going to be placed in your mouth we spare no expense, providing you with only the highest-quality porcelain veneers Beverly Hills has available.
All these elements culminate to bring out about a distinct difference in the level of care provided and enable Dr. Rifkin and Dr. Raanan to achieve harmonious, balanced and naturally beautiful smiles for every patient that comes through our doors.
Here at Rifkin Raanan, we often tell patients that our best work is invisible. When it comes to porcelain veneers it is often what you don’t see that matters most. We believe that there is nothing more attractive than the glamour of a natural-looking smile that truly feels like it could not belong to anyone else but you. At the same time, it is never the goal for one’s smile be overly obvious. When your smile is seamlessly fitted to you, people start to notice that “something” about you has changed. Something captivating about your overall confidence and poise that they just can’t seem to put their finger on.
That is the magic effect of a Signature Smile and that is our goal with every single patient. How do we accomplish this? With careful attention to detail, taking every opportunity to preserve the natural characteristics that make your smile yours while enhancing those elements that take away from it.
This requires an intimate understanding of the face, the mouth, the teeth and how these all interconnect to shape who you are. In some instances, it may only be necessary to place one or two veneers in lieu of covering the entire mouth with porcelain dental veneers. It is our belief that simplicity provides a path to elegance, and that is why we will never do any unnecessary work on your smile. At Rifkin Raanan, our goal is to give you the best dental veneers in Beverly Hills — and, quite possibly, anywhere.

For example, if you have a small face, you should not choose long, square-shaped veneers that will not fit your overall proportions. With an angular or square-shaped face, softer edges on your teeth is preferable. The length of your teeth can make a big difference: longer teeth can benefit if your face is fuller while wider teeth helps if your face is thinner.
There are four major types of face shapes, each one providing an optimal tooth size and shape to balance your features and give you the best-looking smile:
Heart Shaped: Faces that are heart shaped work better with rounded and shorter veneers.
Oval Shaped: Faces that tend to be more oval in shape look better with square teeth which help widen and add fullness to the face.
Round Shaped: Faces that are rounded look better with longer more pronounced veneers.
Square Shaped: Faces that are square with defined jaw lines look better with rounded teeth as they soften the features.
The next step is to figure out what type of look you desire. Porcelain veneers can be classified into certain characteristics and the kind of smile you wish to portray.
One of the factors you need to decide is the color of your teeth. There are four major categories, gray, reddish yellow, reddish brown and reddish gray, and eleven sub-categories to choose from. At Rifkin-Ranaan, we offer a wide range of tones so you can select a shade for your veneers that is about two shades lighter than your natural teeth.
The next step is to decide on the shape of your tooth. What is the most suitable smile for your face? Every tooth is different! There are endless combinations to choose from. The Las Vegas Smile Catalog is one of the most common indexes for tooth shape reference with up to 12 different styles of smiles:
Aggressive: Square shaped, uniform teeth for a bold impression. Typically more common for males.
Mature: Square shaped teeth with slightly rounded canines.
Vigorous: Square shaped teeth with sharp and prominent canines.
Dominant: Square shaped teeth with more prominent front teeth and rounded canines.
Focused: Slightly rounded teeth with square central incisors.
Enhanced: Slightly rounded teeth
Softened: Rounded teeth with a more discreet curvature.
Hollywood: Square shaped with slightly shorter lateral incisors. This is one of the most popular veneer styles and typically preferred for male patients.
Functional: Slightly rounded shape with pointed canines for optimal function
Natural: Slightly rounded shape with very pointed canines.
Youthful: Round shape with longer canines
Oval: Round shape with rounded canines and incisors.
For women, there are great selections with rounded edges that can reflect softer and more feminine appearance such as Enhanced, Natural, Oval, Softened, and Youthful. For men, flat or squarish teeth will emphasize their masculinity such as Aggressive, Dominant, Hollywood, Mature, and Vigorous styles. For anyone, the Functional and Natural styles can be effective given it produces rounded edges and a sharper line of the canines.
Let Dr. Raanan with many years of experience help you select the best veneer shapes for your face. He will discuss with you the different options available and what will work for you, your unique facial features and personality characteristics. Together, you will choose a style that will bring out your best smile. You will be amazed at how you can change your overall look with custom porcelain veneers in Beverly Hills.

If Dr. Rifkin studied under the masters of dentistry, Dr. Raanan has followed in-kind.
After graduating from Harvard School of Dental Medicine at the top of his class he seized a rare opportunity to work with a present-day master in Dr. Rifkin. Under Rifkin’s tutelage, Dr. Raanan has also placed thousands of porcelain veneers and achieved uncommon skill in the field. As he learned under Dr. Rifkin, to be a true master of cosmetic dentistry, one must first gain mastery over the mouth itself. The way each tooth interacts with the others, the unique characteristics of each patient’s bite and more. Only then, with a full grasp of the natural structure of the mouth can one consistently reproduce natural-looking results, tailored to the patient in front of them.
Learn More About Dr. RaananAmong the many things that separate our practice from others is the fact that we boast our very own on-site dental lab complete with the full complement of state-of-the-art technologies and a highly trained and skilled laboratory staff that is absolutely second to none.
This is rare to find in dentistry today but it is part of our commitment to excellence for all our patients. Having an in-house lab at our disposal allows us to attain absolutely top-of-the-line results in half the time that it takes other practices. It also enables us to work hand-in-hand with the people crafting your porcelain veneers so that we can closely monitor the process and get every last detail just right.
When you come into our Beverly Hills Dental offices for your initial dental veneer consultation, you will be warmly greeted by our accommodating front desk staff. They will ensure you have everything you need and that you are 100% comfortable.
Your dental veneer consultation will consist of a one-on-one session with Dr. Rifkin. or Dr. Ranaan. During this session, the doctor will take the time to thoroughly understand you, your goals and take a close eye to your smile. This will give them all the information they need to craft a treatment plan that is 100% customized to you. It is this thorough consultation process that ensures every patient receives completely bespoke treatment and that no two patients ever receive the same plan.
What you’ll get from your consultation:
All veneers require some amount of preparation. Even so-called “no-prep” veneers, such as Lumineers, Durathin and Vivaneers, would be more accurately referred to as “some prep” or “minimal prep” veneers.
While it is occasionally possible to place these types of veneers without any removal of tooth structure, especially in cases where there are considerable gaps between the teeth, the likelihood is that the result will be an unnatural smile that does not allow your jaw to properly close. Or as Dr. Raanan succinctly puts it, “Your mouth is going to look like it’s full of bubble gum.”
It takes work and attention to detail to make sure your veneers are properly placed. The best dental veneers can last an entire lifetime, but it takes an expert cosmetic dentist to do the job right. This is your mouth, after all, and if there is anything that demands perfection, it’s your smile.
Many patients look to the cost of porcelain veneers as a primary factor when considering the right cosmetic dentist for them. While this is understandable, allowing price to weigh heavily into such an important life decision is quite possibly the worst mistake one can make.
Your mouth is an essential part of who you are. It is intimately linked to your physical wellbeing as well as your professional and social success. Think about how often you use your mouth throughout the day — talking, chewing, eating, drinking, breathing, smiling, and expressing other emotions. If something is not right, you will feel it every time you close your mouth, and possibly even with every breath you take.
“Every dentist should strive to be a cosmetic dentist, and their work should always satisfy both form and function. It’s not only about aesthetics. It’s also about how long the tooth lasts, the comfort of the bite and much, much more.”
There is a considerable amount of physics, geometry, and artistry that goes into the crafting of a proper bite. A skilled cosmetic dentist will take the time to understand how the teeth are aligned in relation to one another, how the elements of a smile are rendered to be balanced and aesthetic, and a thousand other considerations. When you come to Rifkin Raanan for porcelain veneers in Beverly Hills, we ensure that each one is meticulously placed so that they fit seamlessly and never have to be repaired or replaced.
The best way to find out about the cost of porcelain dental veneers is to come to our offices for a consultation. You will have a one-on-one session with Dr. Rifkin or Dr. Raanan wherein they will assess which of your teeth need dental veneers, what kind of preparation is necessary, and how much work will be required. We even have our own in-house lab for rapid service. Contact us today to discuss your options.
“To save money on dentist is the worst thing anyone can do, but I learned it the hard way. Dr Rifkin and Dr. Raanan had to correct the other dentist's bad job, and he couldn't have done it any better.”
Putting your mouth in the hands of an unskilled dentist can mean setting yourself up for a lifetime of complications. What is different about Rifkin Raanan is that we have the experience, skill, and artistry to place your porcelain veneers with a minimalist approach to perfection. We take the time to do it right, taking care to remove as little tooth structure as possible—less than the thickness of a fingernail.
“I expressed my concerns to him and he carefully listened and addressed every single one of them. Throughout the treatment, he would ask how I was doing, if I had any questions, and would update me every step of the way. I couldn't be happier with the final result!”
Before you walk out the door with new porcelain veneers, we take a final set of x-rays as part of a proprietary process of quality assurance. We then use advanced imaging software to literally triple-check your smile and ensure it is 100% perfect from every angle. It is our passion and goal to make all our work look and feel seamless, harmonious and beautiful, and above all your results will be lasting.
This is your smile for life, and with natural-looking porcelain dental veneers from Beverly Hills top Cosmetic Dentists, you can proudly and confidently own your smile.
