Contact UsWhat Are Porcelain Veneers?
A quick method to enhance your smile and conceal crooked, chipped, decayed, or stained teeth is using porcelain veneers at Contemporary Dentistry. Cosmetic veneers are slim shells created with porcelain, which are secured to the front of the teeth to enhance the appearance of your smile. Offering personalized and minimal-prep veneers, our dental practitioners can aid in improving the size, color, length, or shape of the teeth. Schedule a consultation at our Fairfax, VA or Manassas, VA office to find out more information about veneers and decide if they are right for your needs.
What Are the Benefits of Porcelain Veneers?
Patients shouldn't have to continue with a smile that is chipped, cracked, or dysfunctional. Porcelain veneers are a wonderful choice for Fairfax, VA patients who wish to glean from a number of advantages, including:
- Protection against discoloration or staining
- Small amount of enamel removal required for treatment
- Very little upkeep required besides regular dental hygiene regimens
- Better oral function and appearance that will last for a long time
Who Is a Good Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers may be used to quickly hide chips and stains on your enamel, improve misaligned or worn down teeth, and fix teeth that are abnormally spaced or shaped. At Contemporary Dentistry, your cosmetic veneers will be custom-created to fit snugly over your teeth for an appealing and natural look. Your dental practitioner will listen to your goals and concerns at your consultation to personalize your treatment plan. We may also determine whether you're a good candidate for veneers by assessing the total health of your mouth. You shouldn't have signs of gum problems, or routinely grind your teeth and clench your jaw (called bruxism).
How Does the Dentist Place Porcelain Veneers?
Once you have decided on your unique treatment plan with our dental professionals, we will take impressions of your teeth. Your cosmetic veneers might be produced in our office as you wait or your impressions can be sent to a dental lab where your veneers will be crafted from high-quality porcelain material. As soon as your veneers are prepared, we will carefully take off a small amount of enamel from your teeth. This creates space for the veneers and improves the bond for a more natural outcome that lasts a long time. When your veneers are secured, our dental experts can make minor adjustments so your veneers fit comfortably.
Contemporary Dentistry Reviews
Great experience. Open on Saturday. Dr. Maya Vexler DDS was fantastic and did a great job with my dental crown, very confident and nice. I plan on switching to Contemporary Dentistry. The whole team made me feel very comfortable and safe.
UPDATE: January 2024. My 6th year with Dr. Morales. Had another cleaning. As usual, great experience. I don't have insurance, so I am happy they still honor Aetna's discount membership for real savings. Started to learn Spanish and I can practice it in real life...and for free! Hasta la proxima vez ! UPDATE: January 2023. Just had the cleaning done, after five years still a satisfied customer. This is my second review for this excellent office. After neglecting my teeth for quite some time a broken toothed forced me to visit a dentist. After a research on the web and subsequent phone calls I settled for the Contemporary Dentistry of Manassas. One of the reason was that not having insurance the office accepts Aetna Savings Plans, basically a discount for the services. The discounts are real as I found out calling some other offices. My first visit was in January 2018. I have had numerous procedures done since then (altogether 30 - thirty - visits) ranging from deep cleaning, numerous cavities and including one implant and two crowns. All work was done in the office, the quality of work has been 100%+, I have never experienced nay 'post-procedure' pains or complications. The staff is very friendly and I am very happy I picked Contemporary dentistry for my dental needs. UPDATE: January 2023. Just had the cleaning done, after five years still a satisfied customer.
My family and I have been patients of Dr. Morales and his practice for 18 years. The time period, alone, should be an indication of my family’s satisfaction. Dr. Morales is wonderful...he invariably demonstrates serving his patients’ best interests and well-being in recommending and carrying out treatment. We have never had lingering issues in any treatment given. We have successfully recommended him and his practice and will continue to do so. We never have a problem with scheduling appointments and the office staff is always welcoming and pleasant. The office, itself, is modern and comfortable. If I could give 10 Stars, I would! P.S. Love our hygienist, Amy.
I’ve had a very positive experience with Contemporary Dentistry of Fairfax starting with my initial phone call to make my appointment, to the welcoming and professional office staff, and the talent and skill of the dentists. I currently see Dr Noumy but I trust that I would get the same care from the other dentists as well.
I travel from Florida for Dentist Diego Morales. He is super careful and I don’t have any pain. Excellent work in my mouth. Dentist Diego Morales treats you like part of his family. No waiting times when you have an appointment. The receptionist and the staff very attentive. I recommended 100%.

How Do I Recover from the Porcelain Veneers Procedure?
Since getting veneers typically does not require anesthesia, you can resume your daily activities after your appointment. You might experience some sensitivity to hot and cold foods for a few days, but this should subside naturally. Clean your veneers just like your natural teeth by brushing and flossing regularly. Although porcelain veneers are more resistant to stains than natural teeth, it's still important to avoid staining foods and drinks to keep your smile bright. To prevent damage, avoid chewing on hard objects like fingernails or ice. Continue scheduling regular dental exams and cleanings at Contemporary Dentistry so we can monitor the condition of your porcelain veneers, teeth, and overall oral health. Our dental team will inform you if your veneers need repair or replacement.

About UsPorcelain Veneers FAQs
How much do porcelain veneers cost?
The total cost of porcelain veneers can differ from one patient to another due to a variety of factors. Our experienced staff will listen to your goals and concerns during your initial consult in order to create a treatment plan that I completely catered to your unique needs. Once this plan has been agreed upon, we can provide a more accurate estimate of the total price.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With proper aftercare and oral health routines, porcelain veneers often last our patients about 15 years — and even longer in some cases. The veneers will experience daily wear and tear, so it's important to take care of them as if they were normal teeth to achieve these results.
Are porcelain veneers painful?
Not at all. Our combination of state-of-the-art equipment and an incredibly experienced team means our patients need not worry about any pain or discomfort during the procedure. Though there may be some slight discomfort for the first week after the treatment, this is easily manageable and fades quickly.
Do porcelain veneers stain?
Porcelain veneers are designed to resist staining so they won't discolor over time. However, the natural teeth surrounding them can still become stained, which may create a contrast in color between your teeth and veneers. To maintain a uniform smile, it's best to limit your intake of dark-colored beverages like coffee, tea, or red wine. After your procedure, we'll provide detailed aftercare instructions, including a list of foods and drinks to avoid.
Will I need to adjust my dental hygiene routine with porcelain veneers?
Maintaining a consistent dental hygiene routine is crucial for keeping both your veneers and natural teeth in excellent condition. We advise using a nonabrasive toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush for brushing. While porcelain veneers are sturdy, they're not entirely immune to damage. To prolong their lifespan, avoid habits such as biting your nails or chewing on hard items like ice.
How can I tell if my veneers need repair or replacement?
If you notice chips, cracks, changes in fit, discomfort, or an alteration in appearance, you may need to have your veneers repaired or replaced. Should any of these signs appear, it's important to book an appointment with Sweet Tooth Dental Loft. Regular dental visits are also essential to monitor the health of your veneers and ensure they stay in optimal condition for as long as possible.
