What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin coverings, custom-made by a dental lab to fit over the front surfaces of your teeth. Once bonded in place, they create a uniform, natural-looking appearance. Porcelain reflects light much like natural enamel, so veneers can look lifelike while also resisting stains.
Dental veneers can conceal:
- Stains and discoloration that whitening cannot remove.
- Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth.
- Small gaps between teeth.
- Teeth that are misshapen, uneven, or too short.
- Minor misalignment that you would rather not straighten with aligners.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?
You may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers if your teeth are healthy overall but you are unhappy with how they look. Good candidates usually have:
- Healthy gums and no untreated cavities.
- Enough natural enamel to support a bonded veneer.
- Stains, chips, gaps, or uneven shapes on the teeth that show when you smile.
- Realistic goals and a commitment to daily brushing and flossing.
If you have gum disease or decay, we will treat it first so your veneers have a strong, healthy foundation. If you clench or grind heavily, Dr. Ashraghi will talk with you about protecting your new smile.
The Porcelain Veneers Process: Three Simple Appointments
Getting veneers at our Burke dental office follows a clear, predictable path:
- Appointment 1: Consultation. Dr. Maryam Ashraghi examines your teeth and gums, confirms you are a good candidate, and creates your custom treatment plan. Together you choose how many veneers you want and their size, shape, and shade.
- Appointment 2: Preparation. We gently remove a very small portion of enamel from each tooth so the veneers sit naturally. Then we take impressions, send them to the dental lab, and place a temporary set of veneers for you to wear in the meantime.
- Appointment 3: Placement. After a few weeks, you return to our office. We remove the temporaries, bond your final veneers to the front surfaces of your teeth, and make any minor adjustments for comfort and fit.
That is it. Your new smile is complete, and there is no complicated hygiene routine to learn.
A Dentist Who Understands Smile Concerns
Dr. Ashraghi decided to become a dentist when she was just 17 years old, after an accident in which she fell and broke her front tooth. Since then, she has always been careful about her own smile, and she realized she wanted to help others care for theirs too. With encouragement from her father, she started down this path and has never looked back.
Today, with 20+ years of caring for smiles and an AEGD residency at the University of Rochester, she brings that personal understanding to every veneer case she plans.
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
- Treatment is completed in three visits or fewer.
- Veneers can last for many years, even decades, with proper care.
- No complicated oral hygiene routine is needed.
- Porcelain is stain-resistant.
- Veneers can fix one imperfect tooth or 10+ teeth for a full smile makeover.
Whether you have one chipped tooth or want to transform your entire smile, veneers may be the cosmetic treatment you have been looking for. The best way to find out is a consultation with our team.
Veneers vs. Bonding vs. Whitening
Cosmetic dentistry means different things for different people, so it helps to compare your options:
Teeth whitening: If brushing is not enough to remove stains, professional whitening can brighten your smile by several shades. It is a good choice if tooth color is your only concern. See our Zoom teeth whitening page.
Cosmetic dental bonding: For a slightly damaged tooth or another minor flaw, bonding can quickly deliver the results you want. It is one of the most affordable cosmetic procedures, but it has a shorter lifespan and may need follow-up visits. Learn more about dental bonding and smile makeovers.
Porcelain veneers: From significant discoloration to misshapen teeth, veneers can correct several concerns at the same time. They usually cost more than whitening or bonding, but they also tend to last longer. If crooked teeth are your main concern, clear aligners may be worth considering first.
How Much Do Porcelain Veneers Cost in Burke, VA?
Veneers cost depends on how many teeth you are treating, the condition of those teeth, and whether any other care is needed first. Because every smile is different, we give you a personalized estimate after your consultation, before any treatment begins.
Most dental insurance plans only pay for medically necessary procedures and usually do not cover elective cosmetic treatments like veneers. Our team will still check your insurance benefits for anything related, and we offer ways to make veneers more affordable:
- Cherry financing lets you break the total cost into manageable monthly payments.
- No Strings Smile Plans offer membership savings if you do not have insurance.
A beautiful smile should come at a price you are comfortable with. Let us know right away if you have questions about the cost of veneers or any other cosmetic treatment.
Caring for Your Dental Veneers
Veneers do not need a special routine, but good habits help them last. Brush twice a day with a non-abrasive toothpaste, floss daily, avoid chewing ice or hard objects, and wear a night guard if you grind your teeth. Keep up regular checkups and cleanings so we can keep an eye on your veneers and the healthy teeth underneath.

Porcelain Veneers FAQs
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last for many years, and often decades. Their lifespan depends on your habits: brushing and flossing daily, avoiding biting hard objects, wearing a night guard if you grind, and keeping regular checkups all help. If a veneer is ever damaged, it can usually be replaced without redoing the others.
