Enhance Discolored, Chipped, and Uneven Teeth with Dental Veneers
Unhappy with your smile? Abingdon Smiles can change that with dental veneers. These super-thin porcelain shells are bonded on the front surfaces of your teeth to improve their appearance. Whether you have discolored, worn-down, misshapen, or otherwise flawed teeth, dental veneers in Abingdon, Virginia, are the perfect solution for your smile transformation.
What can veneers do for my teeth?
Dental veneers are customized porcelain shells used to improve the color, shape, and size of the teeth visible when smiling. Depending on your needs, veneers can fix a single tooth or an entire set.
Our office can use dental veneers to address the following dental issues.
- Chipped, cracked, or worn-down teeth
- Slightly misaligned teeth
- Discolored or stained teeth
- Poorly shaped or sized teeth
- Uneven spaces between teeth
Have you ever noticed veneers that look unnaturally bright or oversized? Poorly placed veneers often result in an artificial appearance. We blend advanced dental techniques with an artistic eye to ensure your veneers complement your natural smile. From precise shade matching to meticulous placement, our team prioritizes balance, proportion, and harmony to achieve radiant and realistic outcomes.
How are dental veneers placed?
Transforming your smile with porcelain veneers takes 2-3 appointments. The first appointment is a consultation to examine your teeth and discuss your expectations. Dental veneers are ideal for most patients, but you must be free from decay and gum disease.
If the veneers are right for you, the dentist will prepare your teeth by removing about 0.5mm of the enamel. This step may not be necessary for Lumineers. Enamel shaving creates space to accommodate the thickness of your veneers to ensure they sit flush with the surrounding teeth. Next, the dentist will take impressions of your teeth to create a blueprint for our dental lab to fabricate your restorations.
Each veneer is handcrafted to match the exact specifications of your teeth, a process that takes several days. In the meantime, the dentist will cover your prepped teeth with interim veneers to protect them from injuries, sensitivity, and infections.
When your veneers are ready, schedule another appointment with our office. We’ll remove the temporaries, clean your teeth, and try your new veneers. After a few minor adjustments, we’ll use dental cement to bond your veneers to your teeth. That’s all it takes to transform your smile with veneers. Your brand-new smile will shine for many years with diligent care.
What are the benefits of veneers?
Here are the benefits you enjoy when you transform your smile with veneers.
- Natural aesthetics: Our veneers complement your facial features and existing teeth to achieve a natural-looking outcome. Your veneers are virtually indistinguishable from other teeth.
- Stain resistance: Unlike natural enamel, porcelain veneers don’t absorb stains from coffee, wine, soda, and other substances. Stain resistance means you can maintain your bright, stain-free smile for many years.
- Durability: Dental veneers can last 15-plus years, providing a long-lasting solution for enhancing your smile.
- Low-maintenance: Dental veneers aren’t cumbersome to maintain. You simply brush and floss them like you would your natural teeth.
