Porcelain Veneer FAQs

Laurel, Columbia, Fulton, Silver Spring - Maryland

1. What can porcelain veneers do for me?

Porcelain veneers are a wonderful solution for many imperfections, including chips, cracks, misshapen or crooked teeth, and discolored or stained teeth that are resistant to whitening procedures.

2. Aren't porcelain veneers easy to chip and crack?

Porcelain veneers are made from a very thin shell of ceramic material. By itself, the ceramic material is brittle, but when bonded to your tooth it becomes very strong and durable.

3. What will porcelain veneers look like?

Porcelain veneers look natural in shape, size, color and texture. Their glass-like quality means that they absorb and reflect light in the same way as your natural tooth surface, making them undetectable to the untrained eye.

4. Will porcelain veneers feel like fake teeth?

No, they will feel, look, and perform like your real teeth.

5. Will the procedure be painful?

Dr. Melnick is dedicated to providing you with painless and relaxed dentistry. His sedation dentistry techniques have proven effective for even the most sensitive patients and those who are resistant to numbing.
