Even if your oral health is in great shape, crooked teeth can damage your social interactions and impact other areas of your life. Have you ever avoided smiling in photos or covering your mouth when you talk or laugh? This means you’re self-conscious about your smile. At Ballston Dental Care in Arlington, Virginia, Dr. David Matney can help with cosmetic teeth veneers.
Porcelain veneers are made to blend in with your natural teeth. They’re so similar to dental enamel that no one will ever know you’ve had work done when done correctly. Your veneers will look natural in color, shape, and size.
People will notice your new smile—not because your teeth don’t look natural, but because you’re smiling more, laughing more, and speaking up. We’ve heard from patients who landed jobs, are dating more, or stopped dreading photo day. When you’re not worried about your teeth, you can focus on everything else.
Veneers can address several smile concerns at once.
Instead of juggling multiple procedures, you get one streamlined solution with porcelain veneers.
If you take good care of your teeth, your porcelain veneers will stand the test of time. For most people, veneers last between 10 and 15 years. That’s a long time to enjoy a straighter and brighter smile. Just keep brushing twice a day, flossing at night, and keeping up with regular checkups at our office. That’s all it takes.
Veneers don’t require aggressive teeth preparation. Your dentist will remove a tiny bit of enamel to make room for the veneer and to make it fit more snugly. That keeps the structure of your tooth mostly intact. Veneers are less invasive than a dental crown or other major work.
Porcelain doesn’t soak up color the way natural teeth do. Teeth are porous, and porcelain isn’t. That means your morning coffee or that glass of red wine won’t leave behind stains. Combine that with good brushing habits, and your smile stays bright.
The porcelain veneer process usually takes two to three visits from consultation to final placement. Once they’re on, the change is instant. Patients often say it feels like hitting fast-forward on their confidence. You’ll see and feel the difference immediately.
Crooked teeth don’t need to stay that way. To learn more about transforming your smile with veneers, contact Dr. Matney at Ballston Dental Care by calling (703) 229-8565 today. You can also come to see us at 801 N Quincy St, 230 Quincy Crossing, Arlington, VA 22203, for more details.
