Modern cosmetic dentistry has allowed almost anyone to have a beautiful smile. Minor dental flaws that were major issues in the past can be easily corrected today with veneers. In as little as two dental visits, Dr. Rajni Kapoor from Mirage Family Dentistry can completely transform your grin with porcelain veneers. Like many patients, you may have questions about the porcelain veneer procedure. Your Yorktown, Virginia, dentist gives you the answers to help you decide if veneers are for you.
Dental veneers are wafer-thin, porcelain coverings for teeth. They fit over the tooth surface to hide dental imperfections and perfect the appearance of your smile. These restorations are custom-crafted to resemble your natural teeth, giving your smile a natural, unblemished appearance.Â

If there are aspects of your smile you’re displeased with, veneers offer an opportunity to change them! Placing veneers on your teeth is much easier than people think, as the process isn’t invasive and doesn’t require major prep work in advance. Dr. Kapoor will bond the veneers to existing teeth after removing a thin layer of enamel to make room for them. The veneers become the new face of your smile, giving your teeth a smooth, flawless appearance. Porcelain veneers will even strengthen chipped and cracked teeth to prevent further damage. You work with a skilled cosmetic dentist who can achieve wonders with veneers to give you the smile you’ve always wanted at our office.
With good oral care, porcelain veneers can last a long time, up to 15 or more years. Good oral hygiene is the foundation for caring for veneers. It would help if you stay current with dental checkups and cleanings. Although porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, Dr. Kapoor recommends limiting stain-causing foods and drinks to avoid staining non-veneered teeth. This way, you can keep your whole smile looking bright and beautiful for a long time. Â
Quite a few habits people develop over time can damage their teeth. If you get veneers, it’s even more important to stop these habits to avoid ruining your treatment. This includes nail-biting, chewing on ice, biting down on hard foods, and using your teeth like tools. Wearing a night guard can help protect your teeth and veneers if you grind your teeth at night.
