Porcelain Veneers

In Hedgesville, Martinsburg, Hagerstown, Frederick, And Surrounding Areas Of Maryland and West Virginia

 

Porcelain veneers can correct the appearance of many dental problems. We often refer to them as “instant orthodontics.”

Whether you wish to improve one or several teeth, porcelain veneers may be your answer. Some of the issues that veneers can resolve include:

• Chips
• Cracks
• Broken teeth
• Short teeth
• Discoloration
• Crookedness
• Gaps

Porcelain veneers are thin shells that are bonded to the front of your  teeth. Unlike many dental solutions which can only address one tooth or one problem, porcelain veneers can be used to address a combination of dental flaws and imperfections at once. The result is a more beautiful, natural-looking smile, free from unsightly flaws.

“Instant Orthodontics”
Many patients want to correct crooked teeth and gaps, but do not want to endure the long, painful process of wearing braces. Traditional braces are unsightly, painful, make dental hygiene difficult, and can take years to be effective. Invisible braces are another option, but they may not provide you with the results you are looking for. By placing porcelain veneers over the surface of your teeth, Dr. Barney can correct the appearance of crooked teeth in two visits. Porcelain veneers can also allow us to whiten teeth that are resistant to other whitening procedures.

Using digital photography, we take images of your smile so that your veneers will have a natural shape and feel. Porcelain is translucent, like your natural enamel, creating veneers that look alive and natural instead of having the unnatural, flat look that older materials produced. Bonding the thin shell to your natural teeth makes the veneers strong and resistant to chipping and cracking. The smooth glass-like texture of porcelain makes porcelain veneers resistant to staining and discoloration.
