Porcelain Veneers in Arlington, VA

They say smiles are the universal language, and it’s true—a genuine smile doesn’t just lift your spirits but also those of the people around you. Unfortunately, if you feel self-conscious about aesthetic dental issues like stained, broken, or uneven teeth, you probably don’t feel much like smiling at all. 

Porcelain veneers at Clarendon Family Dentistry in Arlington, VA, may be the ideal solution. These thin, custom-crafted shells of porcelain conceal whatever issues concern you. We place them on the front surfaces of teeth for a beautiful, blemish-free surface and an even, radiant smile. 

Are Porcelain Veneers Right for You?

If you’re interested in porcelain veneers, please call our Arlington, VA, dental office at (703) 552-8894 to schedule an appointment. We also serve all surrounding communities, including Alexandria, Falls Church, and Annandale.

One thing our patients love about veneers is that we can place one veneer or several or even a full set for the most dramatic results. Here are a few of the cosmetic dental concerns we can address: 

• Broken teeth
• Chipped teeth
• Gaps or uneven spacing 
• Mild tooth misalignments
• Badly stained or discolored teeth
• Tooth shape or size discrepancies
• Teeth that appear too small or short

When you meet with our cosmetic dentist, Dr. Brigid Mooney, she will discuss your goals and expectations. Then, she will perform an exam to ensure your teeth are healthy and ready to receive veneers. If Dr. Mooney finds a dental issue, she will recommend resolving that first.

Two Visits to a Stunning Smile! 

During the first, we prepare your teeth by removing a thin layer of tooth enamel equal to the veneers’ thickness. Next, we take highly accurate, comfortable digital impressions and use a guide to help you select the shade of white that best matches your smile. Before you leave our office that day, we’ll place temporaries on your teeth to protect them until our custom dental lab finalizes your final pieces.  

When your porcelain veneers are ready, you will return to Clarendon Family Dentistry. We will remove the temporaries, check your new veneers for fit, and make adjustments as needed. The final step is to polish them and cement them securely to your teeth. 

If you maintain excellent oral hygiene and routine dental exams and cleanings, your new veneers can last as long as ten years.

It’s important to know you will always need to wear veneers because we alter the tooth's surface. Not sure if you want to commit? Ask us about direct veneers! 

Our cosmetic dentist applies tooth-colored composite resin to certain teeth to conceal many of the same issues as lab veneers, and we can remove them at any time. Since we perform the entire procedure here at Clarendon Family Dentistry, direct veneers also tend to be more affordable.
