What Exactly Is a Dental Veneer?
Dental veneers are thin shells of medical-grade porcelain that are carefully crafted to fit onto the front of your natural teeth. Each one is custom-designed to enhance your smile and camouflage distracting imperfections. Our practice in Washington, DC, uses premium dental porcelain to create your custom veneers.

Veneers vs Bonding
While veneers and bonding can address similar cosmetic issues, such as chips and cracks in your teeth, they have a few important distinctions.
Veneers
- Look more natural than bonding
- Are more durable and last longer
- Require some enamel to be removed
Bonding
- Typically costs less than veneers
- Is reversible and does not reduce enamel
- May not cover more extensive issues that veneers can
Our dentists can help you determine which treatment best fits your needs during a consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Veneers From Our Washington, DC, Patients
How much does it cost to get porcelain veneers?
Dental veneers can cost anywhere from $925-$2,500 per tooth depending on a variety of factors. While insurance typically doesn't cover the cost of veneers, we offer flexible financing options such as CareCredit payment plans. For a more accurate price estimate, request a consultation so our dentist can take a look at your dental situation and give you a quote.
Can you get a full set of veneers?
Yes, you can get a "full set" of veneers, but a full set of veneers typically covers your front teeth and not your entire set of teeth. Veneers are cosmetic in nature, so they won't provide many benefits for teeth that do not show prominently in your smile. For molars and other posterior teeth, we'd recommend another treatment depending on your dental needs.
Are veneers permanent?
Yes and no. While the porcelain shells can last a decade or longer, they will eventually need to be replaced. However, the slight reshaping of your teeth to make room for the veneers is permanent. Our dentists can explain the effects of veneers in detail so you have a complete understanding of the procedure before making a decision.
Do veneers stay white?
While porcelain veneers have stain-resistant properties, the veneers will not stay white forever. Food, plaque, and other materials can stain your veneers over time. Good hygiene can help you maintain the bright shade of your veneers, and regular deep cleanings can help reverse any discoloration.
Are veneers painful?
No, veneers only require a thin layer of enamel to be removed for the treatment. If you have sensitive teeth, we can always use a local anesthetic to numb the area before treatment so you feel virtually no pain.
Each of our veneers is custom-designed to enhance your smile and camouflage distracting imperfections.
