Veneers are a popular cosmetic dental treatment that can dramatically transform your smile. These thin, custom-made shells are crafted from porcelain or resin composite materials and are bonded to the front of your teeth. They are used to rectify a variety of dental issues, including discolored, chipped, broken, or smaller-than-average teeth. Veneers can also be used to close gaps between teeth and correct minor misalignments. They are an excellent solution for those who want to improve the appearance of their smile without undergoing extensive dental procedures.
Why Should I Get Veneers?
Veneers offer a quick and effective way to achieve a flawless smile. They are custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly and match their natural color, ensuring a realistic look. Unlike other dental procedures that can be painful and time-consuming, getting veneers is relatively straightforward. They require minimal tooth preparation and can be applied in just a few visits to your dentist. Moreover, veneers are durable and stain-resistant, making them a long-lasting solution for a perfect smile.

Improved Aesthetics
Veneers can greatly enhance the appearance of your smile. They can be tailored to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable. With veneers, you can achieve a bright, white, and perfectly aligned smile that boosts your confidence and makes a great impression.
Durability
Made from high-quality materials, veneers are designed to last. They resist stains better than natural teeth, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and drinks without worrying about discoloration. With proper care, veneers can last for many years, making them a worthwhile investment in your dental health.
Minimal Tooth Alteration
Unlike other dental procedures that require extensive tooth preparation, veneers require minimal alteration of your natural teeth. The procedure involves removing a small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth to make room for the veneers. This helps preserve the health of your natural teeth while achieving the desired aesthetic results.
The Veneers Treatment Process
Consultation and Treatment Planning
The first step towards getting veneers involves a consultation with Dr. Aaron Marks. He will examine your teeth, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine whether veneers are the right option for you. This step may also involve taking X-rays and impressions of your teeth for the creation of your custom veneers.
Preparation
Once it's decided that veneers are the right choice, our Mechanicsville dentist will prepare your teeth. This involves removing a small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth to make room for the veneers. He will then take an impression of your teeth, which will be sent to a dental laboratory to create your custom veneers.
Bonding
Once your veneers are ready, Dr. Marks will temporarily place them on your teeth to check their fit and color. He will then permanently bond the veneers to your teeth, adjusting them as necessary to ensure a perfect fit and a natural look.
