Transform Your Smile with Precision-Crafted Porcelain Veneers
At Maryland Holistic Dentistry, porcelain veneers are a trusted solution for enhancing the appearance of teeth with long-lasting, natural-looking results. These thin, custom-made shells of dental porcelain are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to correct a variety of cosmetic concerns — from chips and discoloration to misalignment and gaps.
What Porcelain Veneers Can Address
Porcelain veneers are ideal for patients seeking a significant aesthetic improvement without extensive orthodontics or full crowns. We often recommend them for:
- Stubborn discoloration that doesn’t respond to teeth whitening
- Minor misalignments or uneven spacing
- Worn, chipped, or fractured teeth
- Teeth that appear too small or irregularly shaped
- Gaps between front teeth
Because veneers are custom-crafted, each case is unique — designed to match your facial structure, bite, and desired shade.
The Porcelain Veneer Process
Your veneer journey typically includes:
- Consultation & Smile Design – We discuss your goals, examine your oral health, and explore options such as a full smile makeover or pairing veneers with other treatments.
- Preparation – A small amount of enamel is gently reshaped to make room for the veneers. Digital impressions are taken for precise fabrication.
- Temporary Veneers – While your permanent veneers are being crafted, we fit temporary ones to maintain your smile’s function and appearance.
- Placement – Your custom veneers are bonded in place, adjusted for fit, and polished for a seamless finish.
Benefits of Choosing Porcelain Veneers
Patients choose veneers for their combination of aesthetics and durability:
- Highly resistant to stains compared to natural enamel
- Long-lasting with proper care
- Custom color matching for a natural look
- Can improve both shape and symmetry in one treatment
- Complements other cosmetic services like dental bonding
Caring for Your New Smile
To maintain your veneers:
- Practice daily brushing and flossing
- Schedule regular general family dentistry visits for cleanings
- Avoid using your teeth to open packages or bite hard objects
- Consider a nightguard if you grind or clench your teeth
With proper maintenance, porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years or more.
FAQs About Porcelain Veneers
Are porcelain veneers permanent?
Yes — a small amount of enamel must be removed for placement, making this an irreversible procedure. Veneers may need replacement after many years due to wear.
Do veneers damage natural teeth?
When placed by an experienced dentist, veneers protect underlying teeth while improving appearance. Proper oral hygiene remains essential.
Will my veneers look natural?
Absolutely. Veneers are custom-made for your facial structure, tooth shade, and bite for a seamless, realistic look.
Can I get veneers on just one tooth?
Yes, though for the most natural appearance, many patients choose to treat multiple teeth for color and shape consistency.
How much do porcelain veneers cost?
Cost varies depending on the number of veneers and complexity of your case. We’ll provide a detailed estimate and review payment options during your consultation.
