If you’ve ever dreamed of having a whiter, straighter, more symmetrical smile, porcelain veneers may be the perfect solution. At DentalPolitan in Washington, D.C., we offer high-quality cosmetic veneers that are designed to enhance your smile’s appearance while preserving the health of your natural teeth.
Dr. Priyam Kumar and her team specialize in advanced cosmetic dentistry treatments, including custom veneers, using cutting-edge technology and premium materials to deliver results that are both stunning and long-lasting.
What Are Veneers?
Dental veneers are ultra-thin, custom-crafted shells made from porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surface of the teeth. Veneers are used to enhance the color, shape, size, and overall symmetry of your smile.
Ideal for patients with discoloration, chips, gaps, uneven teeth, or mild misalignment, veneers offer a natural-looking, durable solution for achieving a flawless aesthetic without the need for extensive dental work.
Key Benefits of Veneers:
- Natural Aesthetics: Each veneer is custom-matched to your teeth for a seamless, lifelike finish.
- Minimally Invasive: Requires less enamel removal compared to crowns.
- Stain Resistance: Porcelain is resistant to staining from coffee, wine, and smoking.
- Long-Lasting Results: With proper care, veneers can last 10–15 years or more.
- Instant Confidence: Enhances your overall facial appearance and self-esteem.
Whether you’re attending a special event or simply want to feel more confident every day, veneers are a simple and elegant way to transform your smile.
Why Choose Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular and effective cosmetic dental treatments, and for good reason. They offer both immediate visual transformation and lasting functionality.
We can also use a special kind of ceramic called e.max press. When veneers are made of this material, they are more translucent like your natural teeth are. Ask us about our different veneer materials during your consultation in our D.C. office.
Are Veneers Right for You?
You may be a strong candidate for veneers if you have:
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Minor chips or cracks
- Small gaps between teeth
- Slightly crooked or uneven teeth
- Worn-down enamel or teeth edges
- Teeth that are disproportionate in size or shape
During your consultation, Dr. Kumar will assess your smile and determine if veneers are the best option for your cosmetic goals. We also offer other alternatives such as Invisalign®, bonding, and teeth whitening for patients who may benefit from additional or combined treatments.
Our Prepless Veneers
While traditional veneers require some enamel to be removed, prepless veneers require almost no removal of your enamel. Prepless veneers have many uses, because they:
Just because they don’t alter your teeth doesn’t mean they won’t have extraordinary effects on your smile. Prepless veneers match your natural teeth and are still custom to your smile to give you the right smile and the right fit.
Prepless veneers last about 4–10 years instead of the 10–15 years that traditional veneers last.
Choosing Between Traditional and Prepless Veneers
Both traditional and prepless veneers can create a beautiful, natural-looking smile—it simply comes down to your goals, lifestyle, and the health of your teeth.
Traditional Veneers: These require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which allows the veneer to fit seamlessly against your natural teeth. Because of this preparation, they typically last longer (10–15 years), provide the most dramatic transformation, and offer maximum durability.
Prepless Veneers: As the name suggests, these involve little to no enamel removal, making them a more conservative option. They are ideal for patients who want a quicker process, reduced sensitivity, or a way to enhance their smile without committing to permanent alteration of their teeth. However, they generally last a shorter time (4–10 years).
During your cosmetic consultation, Dr. Kumar will guide you through both options, taking into account your dental health, esthetic goals, and long-term expectations. Together, you’ll decide whether traditional or prepless veneers are the right path to achieving your most radiant, confident smile.
The Veneer Process at DentalPolitan
Our smile makeover process with veneers is designed to be precise, comfortable, and personalized. Here’s what you can expect:
We begin by evaluating your teeth, discussing your goals, and capturing high-resolution digital images to plan your ideal smile.
A minimal amount of enamel is gently removed from the front of the teeth to allow space for the veneer. This ensures a flush, natural-looking fit.
We take detailed impressions to craft your veneers to the exact size, shape, and shade needed to blend perfectly with your natural teeth.
Once your veneers are ready, they are bonded securely to your teeth. Final adjustments are made to ensure comfort, symmetry, and a flawless finish.
Our team ensures your new smile looks natural, not artificial, and aligns with your unique facial structure, lip line, and overall esthetics.

Veneers as Part of a Smile Makeover
Porcelain veneers are often the centerpiece of a smile makeover because of their ability to dramatically improve the shape, color, and overall balance of your teeth. But at DentalPolitan, we understand that every smile is unique, which is why Dr. Kumar takes a comprehensive approach when designing your smile makeover treatment plan.
A smile makeover may combine veneers with other cosmetic treatments such as Invisalign®, teeth whitening, or gum contouring to achieve the most natural and harmonious results. For example, aligning your teeth first with Invisalign may allow veneers to be more conservative, while whitening ensures surrounding teeth blend seamlessly with your new porcelain restorations.
Dr. Kumar’s artistic eye and advanced technology allow her to create a plan that considers not only your teeth, but also your facial structure, lip line, and overall esthetics. By customizing every detail, she ensures your veneers enhance your smile as part of a balanced, radiant transformation—one that reflects both your personality and your lifestyle.
Caring for Your Veneers
One of the advantages of veneers is that they require very little extra maintenance beyond a strong daily routine. Whether you choose traditional veneers or prepless veneers, the difference in care is minimal—both benefit from consistent oral hygiene and healthy habits.
To keep your veneers looking flawless:
Brush and floss daily:
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste to avoid scratching the porcelain.
Protect Your Smile:
If you grind your teeth at night, a custom bite guard can prevent unnecessary wear.
Be Mindful of Your Diet:
While porcelain is stain-resistant, limiting dark liquids like coffee, tea, and red wine will help preserve brightness.
Schedule Regular Checkups:
Professional cleanings and exams allow Dr. Kumar to monitor both your veneers and your natural teeth for long-term success.
With proper care, veneers can last many years while maintaining their natural, radiant appearance. At DentalPolitan, Dr. Kumar will provide you with personalized aftercare guidance to ensure your smile continues to look as stunning as the day your veneers were placed.
