As cosmetic dentists, Dr. Kitchen and Dr. Harris work with talented ceramists at a trusted dental lab for unique, natural-looking porcelain veneers. These amazing, handmade restorations can transform a smile, masking chips, cracks, discolorations, misalignments, and gaps to produce a full and shapely smile. According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry polls, people with an attractive smile are considered intelligent, successful, and friendly. If you're ready to improve your image and boost your self-esteem, schedule a porcelain veneers consultation with Dr. Kitchen or Dr. Harris.
The cosmetic dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your idea of "the perfect smile," and design a plan to create a new smile that achieves your goals. Your skin tone, facial shape, features, and preferences will play a big role in the design.
Porcelain veneers require two clinical appointments following the initial consultation. At the first visit, your cosmetic dentist will prepare your teeth by removing a small bit of enamel from the front surface. This will allow the new veneers to lie flat, in line with your gums and surrounding teeth. An impression will be made to send to the dental lab, along with data about shading and your design plan. After the new veneers arrive from the lab, you'll return to our office for permanent placement of the restorations. Porcelain veneers are strong and stain resistant, so you will enjoy your new look for years to come.
Your new smile is only a few visits away! Call Dr. Kim Kitchen and Dr. Clifton Harris, your cosmetic dentists, for a porcelain veneers consultation if you live in the Washington DC or Alexandria, VA area. Our state-of-the-art office in Old Town Alexandria is convenient, and our team can't wait to make you smile.
