Improve Your Smile’s Balance and Symmetry with Porcelain Veneers
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.
What are cosmetic veneers?
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!
Who can benefit from veneers?
Veneers can correct many of the imperfections found in flawed smiles, such as:
- Stains and discolorations
- Chips and cracks
- Teeth that are misshapen or irregularly sized
- Uneven spaces between teeth
- Teeth that are slightly crooked or uneven
PATIENT RESULTS
Issue: Peg shaped Upper right lateral incisor (tooth next to the front tooth)
Solution: Restored tooth with a conservative composite(Directly bonded) veneer
What is the process of getting veneers?
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!
Is getting veneers painful?
Getting veneers is painless. If your teeth are sensitive, we can numb them for this procedure, so there’s no discomfort during your treatment.
How do I care for my veneers?
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.
