In the experienced hands of the Washington Center for Dentistry’s dentists, patients can have beautiful, newly aligned, straight teeth in as few as two visits with porcelain veneers. These thin, natural-looking porcelain shells cover existing teeth to close gaps, whiten, lengthen and properly align teeth. It can be almost like instant orthodontics since porcelain veneers can make a dream smile come to life for an amazing smile makeover. Porcelain veneers is one of the most frequently requested treatments at the Washington Center for Dentistry.

No single dental treatment has revolutionized cosmetic dentistry more dramatically than the porcelain veneer with its transformative results. With the confidence, health and beauty that veneers infuse into a new smile, patients achieve a life-altering change. What a welcome relief, after years of self-conscious discomfort.

Investment in porcelain veneers is expensive, no doubt about it. The good news is that spread out over the 10 – 20 years, or more, of the life of these high-tech porcelain sheaths, the cost comes to much less than we spend on many other less important expenses. Add to that the boost in self-esteem, confidence and general well-being, and the entire experience is truly priceless! And, of course, our smile is timeless.

Our doctors and administrative team go to great lengths to respect our patients’ financial comfort level when covering the cost of veneers, which can vary from patient to patient, depending on their individual needs. 

Value and quality comes first

Place the highest value on experience, artistry and quality of materials when it comes to veneers:

• As each veneer is designed to custom fit each individual tooth, our experienced doctors take extensive measurements of the face and mouth, photos and study models to determine the appropriate size, shape and color that will best suit the look of your new smile.
• Even details of skin color, lips, body type and height play a role in smile design.
• Our dedicated ceramists use the finest grade porcelains, and at our highest quality dental lab, each veneer is finely crafted, just for you.
• Using these finer materials separates the finest crafted veneers from assembly-line quality veneers.
• Our patients want to avoid the unattractive results of low-quality veneers.
• Inexperienced dentists using poor quality labs with inexperienced ceramists raise the risk of creating veneers that “don’t look real.”
• The difference: Opaque, white, bulbous, chiclet-shaped veneers vs. lustrous, pearlescent, natural-looking veneers.

Highly durable, long-lasting and incredibly natural-looking, porcelain veneers are a smart investment for correcting imperfections in your smile. Patients choose among a wide range of options, including cash, check, credit cards, as well as zero interest and low monthly payments with Care Credit and the Lending Tree.

Aesthetic benefits of porcelain veneers:

• Veneers close gaps between your teeth.
• Often called "instant orthodontics," veneers correct minor misalignments.
• Veneers lengthen and reshape teeth.
• Veneers cover stains.
• Veneers strengthen teeth.
• Veneers resist stains, allowing you to enjoy your morning coffee without worrying about how it might affect your smile.
• Veneers broaden a narrow smile.

• Veneers, made of fine-grade, modern dental porcelain, provide the lifelike, natural color, translucence and texture of natural teeth.
• Light shines through the outer enamel layer on our natural teeth and bounces off the underlying dentin layer. That’s what gives a natural sheen to our smile.
• The porcelain used in our veneers also reflects light just like natural teeth, which makes veneers indistinguishable from neighboring natural teeth!
• Patients love the improved, but natural look.
• Veneers are extremely durable.
• Veneers resist decay.
• Veneers cause minimal discomfort.
