What Are The Benefits of Porcelain Veneers?
Patients shouldn't have to carry on with damaged, defective, or dysfunctional teeth. Porcelain veneers are a wonderful procedure for patients of Washington Elite Denitstry in Washington, D.C. who want to enhance their smile. Some of the benefits associated with this treatment include:

Am I A Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers can be used to quickly cover chips and stains in your teeth, improve misaligned or worn down teeth, and fix teeth that are unevenly spaced or shaped. At Washington Elite Dentistry, your porcelain veneers will be custom-created to fit comfortably over your teeth for an attractive and natural look. During your consultation, our providers will listen to your goals and expectations before developing a personalized treatment plan. We will also find out if you're a good candidate for veneers by analyzing your overall oral health. Patients with gum problems or those who habitually grind their teeth or clench their jaw (bruxism) may not be ideal candidates for veneers.
What Can I Expect from Porcelain Veneers?
As soon as you've decided on your personalized treatment plan with a member of our staff, we will take impressions of your teeth. Your veneers could be made in our office while you wait, or your impressions could be sent to a dental laboratory where your veneers will be manufactured out of high-quality porcelain. When your veneers are prepared, we will take off a small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth. This allows room for the porcelain veneers and improves the bond for a more natural result that lasts longer. When your porcelain veneers are bonded, our team may make minor adjustments so your veneers fit comfortably.
Washington Elite Dentistry Reviews
I've been seeing Dr. Berman in the past ~ 8 years, and have had a wonderful experience. She and her staff are super competent, professional, and are very pleasant.
I had a couple of issues and had to get it checked by the dentist ASAP ! Made my appointment through a friend! She highly recommended the Washington Elite Dentistry ! The front desk was able to squeeze me on the same day since it was emergency-thank you, Michelle! Dr Berman took a first look, and she was very clear about what was going on and what should be done. We did x-rays and ct scan on site. After her, Dr. Khashayar checked me as well, and he clarified situations about my implants. Any future work from now on I am doing here! Thank you
Dr. Berman and staff are wonderful! They try to make the experience as pleasant as possible. I've been going there for about 15 years now. Of all the dentist in DC and the DMV that I could visit for service, my wife and I keep going back to Washington Elite Dentistry. I think that says it all.
Great dentist and hygienists here! The whole office is very high tech and the people are very personable.
Amazing staff from front desk to dentist. And Marina is the BEST hygentist I've ever experienced. Literally retaught me how to take care of my teeth and gums. Highly recommend!

Porcelain Veneers FAQs
How are porcelain veneers applied?
The process at Washington Elite Dentistry typically involves several steps. This includes a consultation, preparation of the teeth (a small amount of enamel may be removed), taking impressions, fabricating the veneers, and then bonding them to the teeth.
Are porcelain veneers permanent?
The process of applying veneers is considered irreversible, as a small amount of enamel is usually removed. However, with proper care and maintenance, porcelain veneers can last for many years.
Does getting veneers hurt?
The process of getting veneers is generally not painful. Local anesthesia may be used during the preparation phase to ensure patient comfort.
Are there certain foods I should avoid with porcelain veneers?
Yes, there are some foods you'll want to avoid when you have veneers. These include tough foods like ice and hard candy, sticky items, and stain-causing foods such as coffee, red wine, or tomatoes.
Is it possible to get cavities with porcelain veneers?
The veneer itself won't get cavities, but the teeth underneath still can. Keeping up with proper dental care is crucial to protecting your natural teeth.
What's the difference between a dental crown and a porcelain veneer?
Veneers cover just the front surface of the tooth, while crowns encase the entire tooth. Crowns generally require more enamel removal during the placement process than veneers.
