Transform your smile with personalized porcelain veneers at LP Dental of Falls Church. Our top-notch porcelain veneers can enhance the look of your teeth by changing their shape, color, and size, resulting in a stunning smile that will elevate your self-assurance.

The Process

At our practice, we understand that a stunning smile starts with clear communication and a dedication to oral health. Every visit begins with a discussion about your overall health, dental concerns, and objectives.

1

Crafting Your Ideal Smile with Digital Modeling

Initially, we will discuss the desired smile you envision and meticulously record the details of your teeth. Subsequently, a skilled lab technician will utilize this data to generate a digital representation of your perfect smile. This simulation enables us to provide you with a preview of your upcoming smile, and we can also apply temporary resin to your teeth for a trial period.

2

Trimming Enamel for Perfectly Fitted Porcelain Veneers

In order to prepare your teeth for porcelain veneers, we will gently trim a small amount of enamel, the outer layer of your tooth structure. This is an important step to ensure that the veneers fit properly and appear natural once they are placed. By removing the appropriate amount of enamel, we make room for the veneers to fit seamlessly against your teeth, blending in perfectly with your natural smile.

We Craft Your Custom Porcelain Veneers

During the process of creating your final porcelain veneers, our skilled lab technician will provide you with temporary veneers to keep your smile looking its best. These temporary veneers will not only improve your appearance but also safeguard your prepared teeth until the final veneers are ready.

4

Finalizing Your Porcelain Veneers

Once your custom porcelain veneers are completed, we will carefully affix them to your teeth using a strong adhesive to ensure they stay in place for a long time. This step is essential for achieving a beautiful smile and preserving the quality of the veneers. Once the veneers are securely attached, we will polish them to enhance their shine and ensure they match your natural teeth perfectly.
