At We Care Dental in Dublin, California, Dr. Chona Lardizabal and her team specialize in transforming smiles using porcelain veneers, one of modern dentistry’s most versatile and long-lasting solutions. Whether you’re hiding chips, stains, gaps, or misalignment, veneers offer a path to a flawless smile that feels authentically you.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of teeth to correct cosmetic imperfections. Crafted from durable dental-grade porcelain, they mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural enamel, blending seamlessly with your smile. Unlike temporary fixes like whitening strips, veneers provide a permanent solution for issues such as:
- Chips or cracks
- Stubborn discoloration
- Gaps between teeth
- Mild misalignment
- Irregular tooth shape
At We Care Dental, each veneer is tailored to your unique facial symmetry and desired shade, ensuring results that look and feel natural
Why Choose Porcelain Veneers?
1. Strong & Stain-ResistantLast 15–20 years (vs. 5–7 for bonding). Stay bright even with coffee/wine.
2. Saves Natural Teeth Removes minimal enamel (90% preserved). Less sensitivity, more comfort.
3. Fast Results 2–3 visits for a total smile makeover. "Life-changing" transformations.
Keep it simple, keep it sparkling!
See what our patients are saying about We Care Dental
We first learned about We Care Dental on Yelp and I decided to call ask ask if they can see my kids under denti-cal. They didn't answer, and I was gonna just let it go but they called me right back (I didn't even leave a message!) and made sure they took care of my questions! We went early to get them registered and scope out the place because the last place we were at was no good. When we went in, we were absolutely wowed! It's very clean, the parking was not bad at all and was plenty! The place smells really good, the decoration is very pretty, and they have a T.V. that they allow the kids to watch which was so kind of them!
They gave us a warm welcome, introduced themselves individually and were very polite with my kids. I love that they see and accommodate whole families because they are a family business! Also, for those families who want to be paperless and are into the high-tech stuff, they have registration on the computer which is very nice and easy for us to do. They took my kids individually to for X-ray and explained everything they were doing to them and showed their X-ray to them!
Dr. Chona L also cares about parent concerns and cosmetics as well. She wanted to ensure that she was going to make sure my kid's teeth were looking good on the inside and on the outisde. She is also a parent herself and understands what our worries are as a parent and I really appreciated it. I hope people see this review and try this place out themselves, truly it is a good place to be and I plan to have my kids here until they're adults themselves.
Thank you Dr. Chona and your awesome office staff! We will be back soon!
For every appointment, all procedures and examinations are explained to be beforehand. She's very sensitive to individual needs, pain tolerance and preference of her patients. (I know this since my whole family goes to see her). From regular cleaning to root canal to wisdom tooth extraction-all done in her clinic.
The clinic is very clean and has modern equipment.
Lots of parking space, TV and some toys for entertaining waiting patients and TV for patients on the chair.
She also has headphones for those with sensitive ears for the drilling sound of her tools.
Another perk is flexibility of schedule. Her clinic strives to fit you in their schedule and offers alternative if your choice is unavailable. Appointment cards are provided and text message reminders as well when your appointment is approaching.
They also accept variety of dental insurance (I changed insurance in the time that I'm being seen in their clinic)
These are the few reasons why I trust her practice and its worth the drive from San Jose to Dublin!

When my 11 year old daughter slid into home plate, and 1/2 her tooth was knocked out by the catcher's helmet, I almost fainted! I thought, "There goes my daughter's beautiful smile!" When I contacted Dr. Chona, they were able to fit me in on the same day to assess the situation.
The thing that intrigues me most about Dr. Chona is her ability to explain things in a very calm, and understanding way. She has a soothing way about her. My daughter came in very anxious and worried that it would hurt. Dr. Chona and Isaiah (the wonderful assistant) calmed my daughter down almost immediately, and before I knew it, my daughter was up and out of her chair with a perfect smile! When I mean PERFECT, I mean PERFECT!!!! She was able to fix my daughter's chipped tooth and make her smile again!
I knew Dr. Chona was a good pediatric dentist, BUT, what I didn't realize, was how good she is at cosmetic dentistry as well! If you are looking for either service, I would definitely recommend this dentist! I can't thank her enough for what she has given back to my daughter which is her confidence and her beautiful smile. THANK YOU!
