With a set of\nporcelain veneers, your image can be revamped, and you can also receive a major\nboost in your confidence. Before you move forward, though, you need some\npreliminary information. How does the process work, and how many porcelain\nveneers in Virginia Beach do you need to have placed? So you\u2019ll have the\ninformation you need, a local cosmetic dentist weighs in with the answers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are Porcelain Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No longer do patients have to settle for long and involved\northodontic procedures to fix their smile. Porcelain veneers provide a fast and\neffective solution that tackles issues ranging from mild crookedness, chips and\nmisalignment, to stains. The procedure involves custom-crafted, wafer-thin\nporcelain shells being carefully placed by your cosmetic dentist to mask any\nimperfections, and to leave you smiling with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the Porcelain Veneers Process Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before any work begins, your cosmetic dentist will carefully\nassess the current condition of your smile. This also includes checking for any\nsigns of oral health issues that need to be addressed before you receive a set\nof veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you\u2019ve been cleared to move forward with undergoing\ntreatment, the specialist will take into account the size, shade and shape of\nthe other teeth. Therefore, the perfect plan can be constructed to meet your\ndesires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how the process generally works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A thin layer of enamel is removed.<\/li><li>Bite impressions are taken.<\/li><li>Temporary veneers are placed.<\/li><li>An in-network lab will fabricate a set of\npermanent veneers.<\/li><li>Once the veneers are ready, you\u2019ll be invited\nback to have them placed and adjusted as needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In just a few weeks\u2019 time, you\u2019ll have the smile of your\ndreams!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Many Porcelain Veneers Do I Need?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An important fact to know about porcelain veneers is that\nthey are only designed to fit the front-facing teeth. Furthermore, there is no\nfixed number of fixtures that patients receive. Because the process is completely\ncustomized, the number needed depends on each patient\u2019s specific smile needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why an initial visit is so vital to the process. It\nnot only provides your dentist in Virginia Beach a chance to assess your current\nstate, but it also allows you the opportunity to fully express what type of\nlook you want. The collective efforts of you and your cosmetic dentist will\nresult in you eventually looking and feeling like a brand-new person!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Stephanie Santos earned her dental degree from Virginia\nCommonwealth University.
