Getting that picture-perfect smile is much easier than you think with porcelain veneers. Your new teeth veneers can completely transform your smile, turning it from flawed to perfect in just two dental visits. If you are new to veneer treatment, having questions about this cosmetic procedure is natural. Dr. Rajni Kapoor from Mirage Family Dentistry in Yorktown, Virginia, answers your questions to help you decide if cosmetic veneers are right for you.
Veneers are thin porcelain shells shaped like teeth that can enhance the appearance of your teeth when placed over them. Their purpose is to hide tooth flaws and improve your smile’s aesthetics. Using custom-crafted veneers, Dr. Kapoor can make your smile appear brighter, fuller, straighter, more balanced, and symmetrical—a picture of health and loveliness!
Veneers can correct many of the imperfections found in flawed smiles, such as:
Dr. Kapoor will start with a consultation to see if veneers are a good fit for you. We’ll evaluate your teeth, check your tooth and gum health, and discuss the problems you’d like to fix. If you qualify for veneer treatment, we’ll shave off a sliver of tooth enamel from your teeth to make room for your veneers. Next, we’ll take impressions of your teeth and send them to a lab where custom veneers are fabricated. When ready, we’ll try the veneers on your teeth, make any last-minute adjustments for a perfect fit, and cement them in place permanently. Voilà! Your Hollywood smile is ready to make its debut!
Getting veneers is painless. If your teeth are sensitive, we can numb them for this procedure, so there’s no discomfort during your treatment.
Porcelain veneers are easy to care for as they require the same care as natural teeth. Make sure you brush and floss daily and see our dental hygienist regularly for dental cleaning. Avoid hard and sticky foods like hard candies, taffy, and caramel after getting veneers, as these items can ruin your veneers before their time. With proper care, you can look forward to your porcelain veneers lasting ten or more years.
Veneers are a natural, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that can dramatically improve your smile’s esthetics without compromising your tooth structure. Porcelain veneers are strong, incredibly beautiful, and stain-resistant—a plus for wine and coffee lovers! You can get veneers for your top teeth, bottom teeth, or both to improve your smile’s aesthetic appeal.
