Porcelain Veneers – Leesburg, VA

What are Porcelain Veneers?

Veneers are thin porcelain shells that are bonded onto teeth to address a wide range of common dental flaws. Whether you have a single chipped tooth or want to transform your entire smile, porcelain veneers can deliver the cosmetic boost you want and deserve.

Porcelain veneers from a cosmetic dentist in Leesburg can address of the following imperfections: 

• Misshapen teeth
• Chipped teeth
• Worn down teeth
• Gapped teeth
• Stained or discolored teeth
• Over or undersized teeth

Understanding the Procedure for Veneers

Getting traditional porcelain veneers is quick and easy, with just two trips to our conveniently-located Leesburg office required.

Step 1:

During your first appointment, we will prepare your teeth for veneers by removing an extremely thin layer of enamel – usually less than a millimeter – from the top of the selected teeth. This will help ensure that the veneers will have space to fit comfortably in your mouth.

Next, we will make impressions of your teeth to send to our trusted partners at the dental lab. There, your porcelain veneers will be carefully crafted to perfectly match the shape, size and color of your smile.

Before you leave, we will provide you with temporary veneers to protect your teeth until your permanent veneers are ready to be placed. 

Step 2:

After a few short weeks, you will be seeing our smiling faces once again when your return for the final placement procedure!

During your second visit, we will first remove your temporary veneers and polish your teeth. Before placing the permanent veneers, we will double-check to ensure that they will fit properly in your mouth.

Finally, we will secure your new porcelain veneers in place using a bonding cement and special curing light. It really is just that easy!

The Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Each year, Leesburg residents choose porcelain veneers to rejuvenate their smiles due to the wide range of benefits provided, such as:

• Natural Appearance – Veneers have the same translucent quality as natural enamel, allowing them to blend in seamlessly with your smile.
• Fast Results – You can continue on with your day – and start showing off your new, beautiful smile – as soon as the placement procedure is complete.
• Brighter Smile – Porcelain veneers can make discolored or stained enamel appear brighter.
• Stain Resistant – Compared to natural enamel, porcelain veneers are more resistant to staining from black coffee, red wine and other dark foods and drinks, meaning your new smile will stay whiter for longer.
• Conservative Procedure – Porcelain veneers typically require less extensive shaping of the natural tooth compared to other procedures such as dental crowns.
• Lasting Solution – With proper care, you can expect your porcelain veneers to last between 10 to 15 years!
