Your smile is your face to the world and will reflect well or badly on those you meet. If your smile isn’t up to par due to damaged, stained, or misshapen teeth, you can improve its appearance quickly with natural-looking veneers. Veneers can give your grin a beautiful, new appearance in as little as two weeks! A visit to Dr. Rajni Kapoor from Mirage Family Dentistry in Yorktown, Virginia, can determine if you’re a good candidate for veneers. Here are some questions we’re often asked about this treatment.
Thin porcelain shells called veneers are attached to teeth with imperfections to enhance their appearance. They’re custom-made in a lab to look just like your real teeth. When bonded to your teeth, they conceal chips, cracks, stains, and other imperfections to make your smile appear flawless.
Cosmetic veneers are used mainly to improve your smile’s aesthetics. Veneers won’t physically change your teeth or their position. They merely conceal tooth flaws to make it appear like they were never there. Through veneers, Dr. Kapoor can correct problems with chipped, stained, misshapen, small, thin, or slightly crooked teeth to improve your smile’s appearance. Custom-crafted porcelain veneers will so closely resemble your natural teeth that it’s impossible to tell the difference.
Yes! By altering the size, shape, and position of malformed, odd-sized, or crooked teeth, veneers can make your smile appear more balanced and symmetrical. Your smile might look fuller, brighter, straighter, and healthier with a veneer smile makeover.
Veneers can correct multiple cosmetic issues in one dental treatment, saving you the expense of completing various procedures to achieve desired results. Porcelain veneers can be customized to match your real teeth to retain your smile’s natural appearance. The process is quick and easy and only requires slight modification to your teeth (a thin layer of enamel must be removed to make room for veneers). With good oral care, porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years, giving you a lovely smile well into the future.Â
Dr. Kapoor will schedule a consultation to determine if veneers are the right treatment to address the problems you’d like to fix. If so, we’ll create a treatment plan and prep your teeth for veneers. To make room for the veneers, a tiny bit of tooth enamel must be removed. In order to customize your porcelain veneers, imprints are then taken and submitted to a lab. We’ll put temporary veneers in place while your permanent veneers are being crafted. When your porcelain veneers are done, we’ll switch the two to complete your treatment. The entire process takes, on average, two weeks to complete.Â
