Washington Dental are custom-developed shells that correct issues such as chipped teeth, crooked teeth or gaps between your teeth. They are a great cosmetic alternative to more extensive procedures like orthodontics and tooth whitening that can take longer and cause discomfort.

Most dental veneers are made from porcelain or composite resin. The type that a patient chooses depends on their smile goals and unique dental situation. Porcelain veneers are the classic choice because they provide a more natural translucent appearance and are highly durable. However, they require a more complex fitting procedure that involves shaving some of the tooth’s surface and can be costly.

 Crafting Your Perfect Smile

Composite resin veneers offer a more cost-effective solution and can often be completed in one visit. They are also less invasive, but do not last as long or stain as well as porcelain.

It is important for patients to understand that any work done with dental veneers is not usually covered by insurance. The process of applying the veneers requires a minor amount of enamel removal which is considered a cosmetic rather than restorative procedure, meaning that it does not qualify for coverage under most insurance plans.

Choosing the right dentist to do your veneers is an important decision. You should find a dentist who is confident in their work and offers a guarantee on their work. This will give you peace of mind in knowing that if something goes wrong, they will do everything possible to make it right.
