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.
