What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers serve as delicate, shell-like covers affixed to the front surface of your natural teeth, offering a pain-free option for enhancing your smile. Renowned for their popularity, veneers are crafted from porcelain that closely resembles the composition of your natural tooth and can be customized in color to match your adjacent teeth. Alternatively, if veneers are applied to all visible teeth, a brighter shade can be chosen for a whiter appearance. To ensure proper bonding, the Burke cosmetic dentist in your vicinity will remove a small portion of your natural tooth enamel. Temporary veneers are initially placed, and after about two weeks, your final restorations are ready to be placed to perfection to your teeth.

Do I need to get my teeth straightened before I get veneers?

Veneers present a versatile solution for addressing concerns such as crooked, gapped, missing, or discolored teeth. Generally, there’s no prerequisite for orthodontics or braces before opting for veneers. However, based on the evaluation by your family Fairfax Station dentist, Dr. Marzban, complications might arise if your teeth exhibit significant overlap. The application of a veneer to a tooth partially or entirely covered by another tooth poses challenges for dentists. In cases of overlapping teeth, Dr. Marzban may advise orthodontic intervention for optimal results. Call today for a consultation to see what we can do for you.

What are some options to achieve a straighter smile?

The conventional approach to address overlapped, gapped, or otherwise misaligned teeth involves orthodontics, a method that gradually shifts your teeth into the desired position. The timeline for achieving straight teeth varies depending on your specific oral health requirements, spanning from months to years. Dr. Marzban, our Fairfax cosmetic dentist emphasizes that Invisalign clear aligner trays offer an alternative method for teeth straightening without the inconvenience of wires and brackets. Due to their clear design, these trays ensure a discreet treatment process, allowing you to undergo the transformation without drawing attention from others.
