Transform Your Smile This Holiday Season with Veneers

A confident smile sets you up for social success. If you’re bothered by a specific cosmetic issue, it might be getting in the way of your ability to put your best foot forward. 

You might think you’re stuck with your teeth — and that’s true to an extent. But you’re not stuck with the way they look. The holiday season might present the perfect opportunity to give yourself the gift of a smile transformation.

With veneers, Thomas D. Sokoly, DDS, has a way to correct a wide variety of cosmetic problems. Whether you’re bothered by a specific stain or chip or you feel like your teeth are too short or oddly shaped, Dr. Sokoly can use veneers to address the issue. Visit us at Sokoly Dental in Washington, DC, to learn more about what veneers can do for your specific teeth. 

How veneers work

Veneers are extremely thin porcelain shells that Dr. Sokoly attaches to the front of your tooth using specialized dental cement. This way, people only see the veneer, not the tooth underneath. 

As a result, veneers can fix:

• Staining
• Chips and cracks
• Gaps between teeth
• Too-short teeth
• Pointed teeth
• Uneven coloring

In other words, veneers are an easy way to completely change the way your smile looks. Whether you have one problem tooth that bugs you or you want a full transformation, Dr. Sokoly can use veneers to move you toward your goal.

The process of getting veneers

If you’re interested in giving yourself the gift of a beautified smile this holiday season, you might be wondering what getting veneers entails.

The process starts when Dr. Sokoly prepares any tooth that will get a veneer by removing a small portion of enamel from the front of the tooth. This way, when he applies the veneer, it sits flush with the surrounding teeth and your gum line.

Dr. Sokoly then takes a mold of the prepared tooth so he can create your customized veneer. If you’re only getting one or a few veneers, they get color-matched to the surrounding teeth. If you need a full set of veneers, you may choose a brighter shade to whiten your smile. 

Once your veneers are ready, you come back to our office and Dr. Sokoly bonds them in place. The appointment is quick, easy, and painless. You leave with a transformed smile, ready to take on all of the holiday season's festivities with your new confidence boost.
