Porcelain Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are a very popular cosmetic dentistry procedure performed at our Potomac dental office. Dental veneers create a shiny white smile with straight and evenly spaced teeth. Veneers are a popular treatment with celebrities and others who are photographed frequently and are often mentioned on television shows and in magazines. Veneers consist of very thin laminates or shells that are the same color as natural teeth. Popular materials for veneers are ceramic and porcelain. The veneers are adhered to the surface of the teeth using strong cement and enhance their cosmetic appearance.

Veneers may be used when:

-Teeth are discolored or enamel is damaged

-Teeth are chipped or damaged

-Teeth have wide spaces or gaps between them

-Teeth are misaligned or crooked

Two visits to our Potomac dental office are usually needed for treatment with dental veneers. At the initial visit, the dentist will assess the teeth and decide if veneers are the best treatment option. The dentist will prep the teeth for the addition of the veneers by removing a very thin layer of the tooth enamel. The layer of enamel removed is the same thickness as the laminate to be applied, thus the original size of the tooth is retained. Many patients indicate that this part of the procedure does not cause any discomfort however, a local anesthesia can be used if the patient desires. After the teeth are prepped, the dentist will create a mold of the teeth. The mold is sent to a laboratory that manufactures the veneers to be custom fitted. After the mold is created, the dentist will cover the teeth with temporary veneers that will be worn until the permanent veneers are ready to be placed.

When the veneers are ready, the patient will return for the second visit. At this visit the veneers are placed on the teeth and examined by the dentist to ensure that they are the proper custom fit. The permanent veneers are finally adhered to the teeth using strong cement.

Dental veneers are quite strong and durable however, they can be stained over time with the consumption of certain food and beverages. Coffee, tea, red wine, and cigarettes are strong stain causing items. Veneers can also be chipped and broken. Consumption of very hard foods can be the main culprit for chips and cracks. Veneers should be brushed and flossed regularly, just like natural teeth, to avoid problems with decay in the remaining natural tooth structure. Regular exams and professional teeth cleaning should also be performed at our Potomac dental office.

Possible alternatives for dental veneers: dental implants, ceramic crowns, dental bridges, teeth bonding.
