5 Smile Flaws We Easily Correct With Porcelain Veneers

You don’t have to be a celebrity to have a perfect and confident smile. You just need dental veneers.

Veneers are durable, ultra-thin porcelain shells affixed to the front surface of your teeth, camouflaging a variety of issues. They can change the color, size, and shape of your teeth without surgery or orthodonture. 

At Fairfax Corner Dental, in Fairfax, VA, our highly experienced dentists have transformed countless smiles with porcelain veneers. The process is simple, usually just three office visits, and the results are stunning. Porcelain reflects light, similar to natural teeth. They’re also stain-resistant

Dental veneers can correct more flaws than you likely realized. Here are the five most common reasons our patients opt for porcelain veneers. 

1. Misshapen teeth

Veneers are customized to your unique needs to correct imperfections in size and shape. If you have one or more teeth that are pointier or smaller than the rest, veneers can create aesthetic symmetry, making your teeth look more uniform in size and shape.

2. Gaps between teeth

Large spaces between teeth affect more than your smile. Gaps between your teeth also create food traps that increase your risk of harboring the decay-causing bacteria and plaque that lead to cavities. Problematic gaps between your front teeth with veneers, giving you a beautiful smile with fewer crevices that trap food debris.

3. Slightly crooked teeth

While severely crooked teeth or overcrowding require a conventional orthodontic solution like wire-and-bracket braces or aligners, veneers can effectively improve the appearance of slightly crooked teeth: We simply adhere veneers to the front surface of your teeth, so they appear straighter. 

4. Stained teeth

Teeth whitening treatments can’t remove deep stains from teeth. If your teeth have more than surface stains, teeth whitening won’t brighten your smile. That’s where veneers can help.

We customize the color of your veneers to match your surrounding teeth, creating a seamless look while covering stains and discoloration caused by aging, disease, medication use, or smoking.

5. Cracked or chipped teeth

Cracks or chips in your front teeth detract from an otherwise beautiful smile. Dental veneers cover these imperfections to give you perfect-looking teeth while offering effective protection against further dental damage.

Veneers are extremely durable and bonded to your teeth with strong, long-lasting adhesives that will endure for years to come.

Easy from start to finish

Caring for veneers requires the same amount of effort as caring for your natural teeth: just brush and floss thoroughly twice daily and keep up with your regular biannual dental checkups.
