Porcelain Veneers in Alexandria, VA

Achieving straight, white teeth is a common goal, but addressing multiple imperfections can often be time-consuming and costly. Porcelain veneers offer a fast and effective alternative, helping you attain the smile of your dreams in just a few dental visits.

Dr. Kathleen Mullaney, DDS, provides expert porcelain veneers services in Alexandria, VA, ensuring a stunning, confident smile.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Veneers are thin porcelain shells that cover your teeth, correcting their appearance, alignment, or shape. They’re a popular option for patients with chipped, missing, or cracked teeth—though they can also fix other cosmetic dentistry issues!

Those free of cavities, gingivitis, or broken teeth are the best candidates for porcelain veneers. No dentist can place veneers on unhealthy teeth or gums. However, treating these problems will make you the perfect candidate.

Additionally, if you grind or clench your teeth, you might want to wear a night guard to protect your veneers from damage.

Getting porcelain veneers doesn’t happen overnight. It typically requires a few visits to our office. Here’s how the process works:

  • Consultation – Your first visit is the planning phase. You’ll speak with Dr. Mullaney about the results you want. She’ll assess your teeth and determine whether or not you’re eligible for veneers.
  • Dental Wax-Up – Dr. Mullaney will work with her lab to create a wax-up before any work is started; this allows her to design long-lasting veneers based on your unique bite. It also ensures your teeth are in the right occlusion, so the porcelain doesn’t prematurely break. You’ll also get a glimpse at your new smile.
  • Preparation – At your next visit, Dr. Mullaney will prepare your teeth for the veneers; this involves reshaping so that when she applies them, they’re the same size and thickness as your natural teeth. She’ll take impressions of your teeth and send them to a local lab to create your porcelain veneers.
  • Bonding – Dr. Mullaney starts by thoroughly cleaning your teeth. Then, after confirming the fit and color are consistent, she’ll adhere to veneers to your teeth using a special cement that solidifies with ultraviolet light.
  • Follow-Up – After one to two weeks, you’ll revisit our office so we can take care of any potential adjustments or concerns. Getting used to your veneers once they’re out can take some time, as the shape and feel will differ from what you’re used to.

Rest assured—we’ll design the porcelain veneers to your specific smile goals.
