Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surfaces of your teeth. Crafted from porcelain or composite resin, veneers can address a variety of cosmetic concerns, including chips, cracks, discoloration, uneven spacing, and teeth that appear too small or misshapen. At Sunrise Dental Studio in Pasadena, Maryland, Dr. Afshin Nateghi works closely with each patient to design veneers that blend naturally with the surrounding teeth and complement your overall appearance.

The veneer process typically involves two or more visits. During an initial consultation, Dr. Nateghi will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine whether veneers are a suitable option for you. If you move forward with treatment, a small amount of enamel is usually removed from the front of each tooth to make room for the veneer. Impressions or digital scans are then taken and sent to a dental laboratory, where your custom veneers are fabricated. Once ready, the veneers are carefully bonded to your teeth and adjusted for a comfortable, natural-looking fit. For patients who may benefit from a less invasive approach, dental bonding may also be worth considering.

With proper care, porcelain veneers can last for many years. Maintaining good oral hygiene habits, attending regular dental cleanings and exams, and avoiding habits such as chewing on hard objects can help extend the life of your veneers. Veneers are also resistant to staining, which can help your smile maintain a bright, consistent appearance over time.

Dental veneers may be placed as a standalone treatment or as part of a broader smile makeover plan that could include teeth whitening or other cosmetic services. Dr. Nateghi will help you understand all of your options so you can make an informed decision about your care.
