\nEveryone dreams of having a bright, drop-dead-gorgeous
\nsmile. Movies, TV, and advertising always show individuals with straight, white
\nsmiles that catch the eye. Sometimes, though, this injuries, trauma, stains,
\nand yellowing can prevent an achievable perfect smile. Aging and certain foods
\nand drinks can stain and yellow teeth, while injuries and facial trauma can
\ncrack, fracture, and chip teeth. How can you obtain the smile you want? Smile by Design<\/a> and its outstanding team of trained
\npractitioners<\/a> have a solution for you: porcelain veneers. <\/div>\n

\nWhat are Porcelain Veneers?<\/h2>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nPorcelain veneers<\/a>
\nare the answer to gaining confidence, self-esteem, and correcting any
\nimperfections with your teeth. The veneers are thin pieces of porcelain, a type
\nof ceramic, which are used to recreate the natural look of teeth, while
\nrestoring strength. Veneers can correct shape, size, cracks, and other issues
\nwith teeth. They are highly stain-resistant and are translucent, resembling
\nhealthy, white tooth enamel. The enhancements will immediately change any smile
\nfrom dull to magnificent. <\/div>\n

\nHow Does the Dentist Attach Veneers?<\/h2>\n
\nInitially, you will have to meet with our dentist and
\ndiscuss the option. We will examine and map out your mouth, forming a plan for
\nthe procedure (X-rays or impressions may be used to help with this). We will
\nthen schedule a date for the procedure. During your next visit, we will get to
\nwork. <\/div>\n
\nAnesthetic will be applied if necessary, and the dentist
\nwill remove about \u00bd millimeter of enamel from the tooth\u2019s surface, which is
\nroughly the thickness of the veneer. The porcelain veneer will then be placed
\non the tooth, inspected to ensure the size and color match. If the size is a
\nlittle off, we will trim the veneer to make sure it will be the perfect fit.
\nAfter a quick clean and polish, the veneer will be bonded to the tooth. A
\nspecial light beam is used to cement the veneer and hold it in place. <\/div>\n

\nI Really Want Veneers. <\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\nConsultation with our professionals is necessary before we
\ncan green light a procedure. If you have an imperfect tooth \u2013 regardless of how
\nit became damaged or warped \u2013 and would like to receive porcelain veneers, call or email<\/a> our
\nfriendly staff immediately. We open our doors to all people in Virginia Beach,
\nVA, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and the surrounding region. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
