For many people, natural-looking veneers offer the perfect solution to a picture-perfect smile. These thin, porcelain shells are great at concealing imperfections in your teeth to dramatically improve your smile’s appearance. Dr. Alonzo Bell from The Bell Dental Group is your go-to cosmetic dentist for veneers in the Alexandria, Virginia area. Visiting our dental office can kickstart your journey to a beautiful, new smile with veneers.
If your smile needs a lift to look its best, here are six good reasons to consider natural-looking veneers:
Veneers can address various cosmetic dental concerns in the same treatment, giving your smile an instant upgrade! Porcelain veneers can correct problems with chipped, cracked, stained, gapped, misshapen, or slightly crooked teeth to perfect your smile’s appearance. Your smile can be all that you want it to be with veneers.
Veneer treatment isn’t one size fits all. Dr. Bell will plan your procedure with you, decide on the number of veneers to use, and map out their placement to give your smile a unique, pleasing appearance. Your porcelain veneers will be custom-crafted in a lab to perfectly match your natural teeth in size, shape, and color. Once bonded in place, they’ll be indistinguishable from your real teeth. This attention to detail ensures you receive the desired outcome of a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, giving you greater freedom to enjoy your coffee, wine, and tea without worrying about discoloring your teeth. Good brushing, flossing habits, and routine dental cleanings will keep your smile radiant for years!
Porcelain veneers are durable and enduring, lasting up to 15 years with good oral care. They’re cemented to your teeth permanently and are removable only by your dentist. They’re designed to withstand the daily pressure of biting and chewing and will make your teeth more resistant to minor tooth damage in the future.
After removing a thin enamel layer, veneers use existing teeth as their base. This creates space to lay the veneers flat against your teeth, making them appear more natural. The rest of your tooth structure remains as is. The process is quick, painless, and easy. If you have sensitive teeth, we can use a mild anesthetic to keep you comfortable when prepping your teeth.
You care for veneers like you care for your natural teeth. Brushing twice daily, flossing daily, and seeing Dr. Bell twice a year for routine cleanings will keep your restorations in good condition. Porcelain veneers don’t need special products or care to retain their stunning appearance. You should, however, avoid hard foods and eliminate bad habits of chewing on ice, chomping on pens, and using your teeth like tools.
