As the years pass, our teeth will begin to show their age. Even if you regularly brush, floss and see your dentist, regular wear and tear will still happen. These cracks, gaps, chips, discoloration, and misalignments can make you feel embarrassed and self-conscious about your smile. Maybe you find yourself being afraid to smile when you really want to. If so, porcelain dental veneers could be a simple and inexpensive way to fix these problems in just a few office visits with only one procedure.

Refresh Your Existing Smile With Dental Veneers

With porcelain dental veneers, Oakton, VA dentist Dr. Abbas Ahrabi of Oakton Dental Center can improve the aesthetics of your smile by correcting the color, shape, and spacing of your teeth. Dental veneers can remove wide spaces between your teeth, lengthen small or misshapen teeth or whiten stained teeth. Maybe your teeth are chipped or are showing signs of wear and tear? Porcelain dental veneers can protect them from further damage while also refreshing their appearance in a way that looks and feels natural.

Eating and drinking foods and beverages with lots of pigments or dyes or that are acidic like coffee, most fruit, and sugar can cause stains on your enamel. This process can also result in increased sensitivity too. Since digestion begins in the mouth, everything we eat affects our teeth, some foods more than others. You may be considering having your teeth whitened, but dental veneers may be the perfect solution for you if you have multiple dental concerns like chips, gaps or other visible problems.

Porcelain veneers are customized for each patient’s mouth and placed over your existing teeth to specifically to cover any minor misalignment, gaps, or cracks.

Are Porcelain Veneers Right For Me?

The veneers are installed after removing the outermost layer of enamel to prevent the veneers feeling overly large in your mouth or changing the shape of your face. Then they are simply attached to the teeth. This is unlike the installation of a dental crown, where the affected teeth are removed and the neighboring teeth are altered. With dental veneers, the teeth people see when you smile will still be your own, but covered and refreshed with a protective layer, resulting in an enhanced version of your smile! 

Sometimes porcelain veneers may not be a viable option for some patients. For example, those patients suffering from habitual grinding of teeth may want to consult with Dr. Ahrabi before porcelain veneers are installed as it can damage your veneers. Additionally, patients with extremely sensitive teeth may not want to undergo the enamel removal before the procedure until this issue has been addressed. Fortunately, once these problems are addressed, most patients are able to benefit from veneers or are able to consider other cosmetic options.
