Should I Consider Porcelain Veneers?

Posted in Cosmetic Dentistry

At Bethesda Sedation Dentistry, our experienced dental team offers many cosmetic treatments that can improve and enhance our patients’ smiles. One option is porcelain dental veneers, which can restore tooth function and form. With a number of benefits, this is a popular option among our patients seeking an aesthetic upgrade to their grin.

Porcelain veneers can be used to conceal and correct the following dental issues:

• Chips
• Cracks
• Stains
• Gaps
• Minor tooth misalignments
• Worn down or disproportionately sized teeth

During the procedure, a thin, shell-like material is bonded to each affected tooth with long-lasting oral cement, creating a more symmetrical smile and even tooth lengths. The durable material is made up of porcelain, acting as a protective barrier for the teeth. For patients who wish to erase stains from beverages like wine and coffee, dental veneers could be a great option, as the shell can be color-tinted to any whiteness preference. By following a typical dental hygiene routine of brushing, flossing, and regular checkups, patients can expect a smile that is sure to last.

For patients who are unsatisfied with the quality of their smile and who think they might be a candidate for porcelain veneers, we encourage you to reach out to our Bethesda dentists. Dr. Deb or Dr. Rob will be able to evaluate your specific needs and goals and find an effective solution. Please contact our office to schedule an appointment.
