Dental Porcelain Veneer in DuPont Circle DC

Porcelain dental veneers are ultra-thin ceramic shells placed over teeth that are damaged (chipped or cracked), spaced, misshapen, misaligned, crooked, discolored or stained, in order to enhance the appearance of these teeth and mask cosmetic imperfections. At b. dental studios in Washington DC & McLean VA porcelain veneers are one of the most effective cosmetic dentistry treatments for achieving a natural, radiant, and long-lasting smile transformation and a refreshed appearance.

Unlike dental crowns, veneers only cover the most visible portion (front surface) of the affected tooth rather than the entire tooth, preserve more of your natural tooth structure. Highly aesthetic, they are widely used in smile makeovers to create stunning smile transformations.

What are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are hand-crafted ceramic restorations bonded to the front surface of the teeth to mask cosmetic imperfections. They are widely used in smile makeovers due to their ability to replicate the translucency, color, and texture of natural teeth.

Porcelain veneers can correct:

Chipped or cracked teeth
Stains resistant to whitening
Gaps and mild misalignment
Uneven or worn teeth
Misshapen or disproportionate teeth

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
