Dental Veneers in Woodbridge, VA
Veneers are thin, semi-translucent “shells” typically attached to your front teeth. Veneers are customized from porcelain material and permanently bonded to your teeth. Veneers are a great alternative to otherwise painful dental procedures to improve the appearance of your smile.
Veneers are a great aesthetic solution to your smile that may even help you avoid orthodontic treatment.
How Veneers WorkTypically veneers require two visits within two to three weeks to complete the process, with little or no anesthesia required during the procedure.
- On the first visit, the teeth are prepared by lightly buffing and shaping the surface to allow for the thickness of the veneer. A scan or impression of the teeth is taken and a shade (color) will then be chosen by you and the dentist.
- On the second visit, the teeth will be cleansed with special liquids to achieve a durable bond. Bonding cement is then placed between the tooth and veneer and a special light beam is used to harden and set the bond.
You will receive care instructions for veneers. Proper brushing, flossing and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new veneers. Please contact our office if you have any further questions on veneers.
