Porcelain Veneers in Winchester by Dr. Radwa Sobieh

Dr. Radwa Sobieh plans each set of veneers around the shape of your teeth and the look you want.

Getting porcelain veneers starts with a consultation about your goals and an exam to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy enough. Then we prepare the teeth, take impressions, and bond your custom veneers in place.

Porcelain veneers can change the shape, size and color of your teeth. Our team will help you decide whether they’re right for you.

1. Regular Checkups: visit us regularly so we can check your veneers and the health of your teeth and gums.
2. Good Oral Hygiene: Brush twice a day and floss daily to keep the gums around your veneers healthy.
3. Avoiding Hard Foods: It’s advisable to steer clear of hard foods that could potentially chip or crack your veneers.

Are veneers permanent?

The decision is. A thin layer of enamel is usually removed so the veneer sits flush, and that enamel doesn’t grow back. A veneer can be replaced, but the tooth will always need some covering.

How many visits do veneers take?

Usually two. At the first, we shape the teeth, take impressions and fit temporaries. At the second, a couple of weeks later, we bond the finished veneers.

Veneers or bonding: which should I choose?

Bonding costs less and is done in one visit, but it chips and stains sooner. Veneers cost more and last longer. See dental bonding and our post on the pros and cons of veneers.

Should I whiten my teeth before getting veneers?

If you plan to whiten, do it first. Veneers are matched to the shade of your other teeth and won’t change color later. See teeth whitening.
