Our patient's dental concerns were comprehensively addressed as she received four meticulously crafted veneers, resulting in a remarkably beautiful smile.

Porcelain veneers

Dental veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made laminates bonded to the front teeth to change their color, shape, or size. They're made of porcelain material that looks more natural and resists stains better than resin. At Georgetown Cosmetic Dentistry, our dentist will help you choose the color of your veneers to ensure they match the rest of your smile.

Our patient underwent a transformative treatment, receiving ten veneers to address her dental concerns and achieve a stunning and flawless smile.

The Benefits of Veneers

Veneers are thin, tooth-shaped shells that fit over the front of your teeth to correct chips, gaps, stains, and other imperfections. Unlike crowns, veneers don't require extensive shaping or preparation on your tooth before placement. They're also stain-resistant and can last for years before needing replacement. For these reasons, veneers are often considered one of the most conservative cosmetic dentistry treatments.

Veneers are also a versatile treatment option because they can be used to correct a wide variety of issues, from minor to major. Sometimes people elect to have a few veneers placed to address multiple concerns simultaneously. While cosmetic dentistry procedures such as teeth whitening can improve the appearance of your smile, these treatments are only temporary. They don't address the underlying functional problems that can compromise your oral health. You don't have to choose between aesthetics and function with veneers because your dentist can address both issues with one convenient procedure.

The patient was dissatisfied with her initial set of 4 veneers. We switched the original four veneers for smaller alternatives that flawlessly blended in to result in a natural smile.

Then comes the difference between the procedures.

• The process of getting a prepless veneer involves cleaning and sanding the teeth to get rid of any shine, surface stains, and small enamel flaws. This is all that has to be done to your enamel to prepare it for your personalized veneers. Prepless veneers are also extremely thin; hence, the shade of each veneer is chosen carefully to complement the natural underlying tooth enamel.
• On the other hand, your natural teeth undergo a small amount of permanent enamel removal during the placement of porcelain veneers so that each tooth can fit the veneer well. 

The aesthetics of dentistry have been changed by veneers. They can conceal almost every dental flaw, including slightly misaligned teeth, gaps, cracks, discoloration, and even teeth with irregular shapes. And veneers are mostly the reason behind the flawless smiles you see on celebrities. To learn more, schedule an appointment with us.
