At Highland Family Dental Care, we can fix all your cosmetic flaws with affordable porcelain veneers. Dr. Mana Shoeybi and our team offer this popular cosmetic dental treatment that can transform your smile with ease and precision.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth. Crafted from high-quality porcelain material, our veneers mimic the natural look and feel of your tooth enamel. Veneers are an excellent solution for many dental imperfections. We can fix discolored, chipped, misaligned, or gapped teeth with veneers. By choosing porcelain veneers, you can address multiple cosmetic concerns with a single, effective treatment.
What to Expect
The process of getting porcelain veneers involves three main steps:
- Initial Exam & Consultation: During your first visit, Dr. Shoeybi will discuss your smile goals and evaluate your teeth. This will help her determine if veneers are the right option for you. We will take impressions of your teeth to create a custom treatment plan just for you.
- Preparation Appointment: If you qualify and approve the plan, we will remove a small amount of enamel from the surface of your teeth to make room for the veneers. This step ensures a perfect fit and natural appearance. We may place temporary veneers while your permanent ones are being crafted.
- Placement Appointment: Once your custom veneers are ready, Dr. Shoeybi will carefully bond them to your teeth using a special adhesive. We will make any necessary adjustments before you leave to ensure a comfortable fit and beautiful finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will people be able to tell I have veneers?
The goal is for them not to notice. When veneers are done well, people just notice that your smile looks great. They should not be able to spot the veneers themselves. Dr. Shoeybi designs each one to match your natural teeth in color and translucency, so they blend right in.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With good care, veneers typically last between 10 and 15 years before you might need to replace them. How long yours last depends a lot on your habits. Brushing and flossing daily, wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth, and avoiding using your teeth as tools all help extend their life. We will check on them during your regular visits and let you know if they are showing any signs of wear.
Does getting veneers hurt?
Most patients find the process surprisingly comfortable. Dr. Shoeybi numbs the area before preparing your teeth, so you should not feel anything beyond mild pressure. The actual placement appointment is painless, and you walk out with your new smile the same day.
Can one veneer be replaced if it gets damaged?
Yes, individual veneers can be repaired or replaced if something happens to one tooth. Porcelain is strong, but it can chip if you bite something hard or have an accident. If that ever happens, Dr. Shoeybi can take care of that single tooth without touching the others. Just give us a call, and we will take a look.
How do I take care of my veneers?
The same way you take care of your other teeth. Brush twice a day, floss once a day, and see us for regular cleanings. The only extra step is being mindful of whether you grind your teeth at night. A night guard helps protect both your veneers and your natural teeth. We will go over all of this with you after your veneers are placed.
Why Choose Highland Family Dental Care for Porcelain Veneers?
Choosing veneers is about more than just changing how your teeth look. It is about trusting someone to enhance your smile in a way that still looks like you. Here is why patients feel confident choosing our Highland dentists for that work.
- A Blend of Artistry and Technical Skill: Veneers require both a steady hand and an eye for what makes a smile look naturally beautiful. Dr. Shoeybi’s path to dentistry was shaped by her interest in artistry and vision. She applies that same attention to detail to every veneer case. She takes the time to understand what you do and don’t like about your smile, then designs veneers that complement your facial features rather than looking like a generic afterthought.
- Technology that Lets You See Your New Smile: No guessing about what the final result will look like. With digital imaging and design tools, Dr. Shoeybi can show you a preview of your new smile during the consultation. You get to weigh in on shape, size, and shade before any work begins, so the result is something you genuinely love.
- Your Comfort Matters: Applying veneers means preparing the teeth and bonding thin layers of porcelain to the surface. Dr. Shoeybi approaches this process gently, making sure you are at ease and informed at every step. Her training at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry and her commitment to personalized care mean she treats each tooth and each person with respect.
- We Are Here for the Long Haul: Veneers are an investment in your smile, and we want them to last. Dr. Shoeybi and her team will keep an eye on them during your regular visits. The goal is not just a beautiful smile today, but one that lasts for many years.
