Real Patients – Real Results
Veneers Before After Case 05
Transforming a Smile: A Complete Makeover with Crown Lengthening, White Fillings, and Porcelain Veneers
- This patient was unhappy with the overall appearance of her smile. She was particularly concerned about the gaps between her lower teeth, the discoloration of her aging composite veneers, and the uneven size of one of her front teeth, which appeared smaller than the others.
- To address these issues, we performed a crown lengthening procedure on her front tooth to reveal more of the natural crown, creating a more balanced and harmonious appearance. Next, we used white fillings to close the gaps in her lower teeth, giving her a more uniform and polished look. Finally, we applied porcelain veneers to her four front teeth, dramatically enhancing the aesthetics of her smile.
- The result? She was thrilled with her new smile, feeling more confident and ecstatic about the transformation.

Veneers Before After Case 06
Do you have teeth that are noticeably gapped, stained, or chipped? Do you find yourself feeling embarrassed when socializing with others and smiling due to the imperfections in your smile? If this sounds like you and you reside in the area of Arlington, Washington, we invite you to call Eagle Family Dental to request an upcoming visit with our providers to learn more about solutions such as porcelain veneers.
What are porcelain veneers?
Our team describes the dental veneer treatment as an extremely thin shell bonded onto a tooth’s front surfaces to disguise imperfections. They quickly and easily give you a smile you are excited to share, boosting confidence and self-esteem in just one appointment. The veneers are made of porcelain, a material that mimics the appearance of one’s natural tooth enamel and provides coverage for problematic teeth.
How can porcelain dental veneers improve my smile?
These restorations are cosmetic treatments designed to enhance the smile quickly and easily. While other procedures, such as orthodontics or professional teeth whitening, might be recommended, we may also talk to you about the benefits of faster treatment using these dental restorations.
Veneers are used to address:
- A gummy smile
- Gapped teeth
- Chipped and cracked teeth
- Discolored/permanently stained teeth
- Dental misalignment
- Worn/eroded teeth
- Uneven teeth
What are some of the benefits of porcelain dental veneers?
Treatment using veneers is highly encouraged by our dental team because they are:
- Long-lasting
- Easy to maintain
- Stain-resistant
- Minimally-invasive
- Natural-looking
- Fast and easy
What can I expect during my dental veneer treatment at Eagle Family Dental?
Many dental offices in the Arlington, Washington, area can complete porcelain dental veneers in two visits. The first visit requires preparing the natural tooth and taking impressions to send to a ceramist for the fabrication of the new veneer. Patients return a week or two later to have the new restoration adhered to in place.
Our office uses CEREC technology, offering same-day restorations such as veneers, crowns, and bridges. Patients have their teeth prepared by removing a thin layer of enamel. Digital impressions are taken and used in our office to mill a veneer out of porcelain right in the office, eliminating the need for a dental ceramist. This ensures the final veneer is perfect while allowing patients to leave the office with a beautiful new smile!
Frequently Asked Questions About Porcelain Dental Veneers
What can cosmetic dentistry do for my smile?
Cosmetic dentistry can transform your average-looking smile into a masterpiece. Cosmetic dental treatments can:
- Straighten or align your crooked teeth.
- Brighten discolored or stained teeth.
- Close minor spaces between teeth.
- Reshape or resize uneven teeth.
- Repair cracks, chips, and minor damage.
Whether you want a minor upgrade or a complete smile makeover, trust our team to provide personalized care tailored to your needs.
Who decides the right treatment for my smile goals?
The decision is a collaborative one between you and your cosmetic dentist. During your consultation, we’ll first discuss your goals, concerns, and expectations. The dentist will then evaluate your oral health and recommend cosmetic treatment options tailored to your needs and goals. Remember, it’s your smile. You are in the driver’s seat, and our role is to guide.
How long will it take me to transform my smile?
It depends on the treatment involved. We can complete teeth whitening and dental bonding in a single visit. Dental veneers and crowns may take one or two appointments, while clear aligners may take several appointments spanning months. We’ll advise on timelines during your consultation to help you set a realistic timeline.
How long will my results last?
Your results are designed to last several years with good maintenance. A whitened smile can last several months to a few years. Dental crowns and veneers can last 10-15 years or longer. An Invisalign-enhanced smile can last a lifetime with proper retainer use. Good oral habits and routine dental visits will help prolong the lifespan of your results.
Are cosmetic treatments painful?
No! Your comfort is our priority. We use gentle techniques and local anesthetics to ensure a comfortable procedure. If you are anxious about your treatment, let us know. We offer sedation to help you keep calm and relaxed throughout treatment.
Can you replace my missing teeth?
Yes! Tooth loss doesn’t just affect functionality—it also affects your aesthetic appeal. Even missing a single tooth can affect how you smile and feel about yourself. The good news? We offer several options for replacing missing teeth. We recommend dental implants if you want a long-lasting solution. However, dentures and bridges are available as more affordable solutions.
Is cosmetic dentistry worth it?
For many patients, the answer is yes. A confident-looking smile enhances your self-esteem and makes daily interactions more enjoyable. Your cosmetic results also last many years, making cosmetic dentistry a long-term investment in your smile and confidence.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost in Arlington, WA?
Costs vary depending on the treatment involved. Simple procedures like whitening cost less, while comprehensive smile makeovers require a larger investment. No one likes surprise bills. Our team will provide a precise cost breakdown during consultation so you can proceed with clarity and confidence.
Does insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Insurance typically does not cover purely cosmetic treatments. However, procedures that also restore function, such as crowns or implants, may be partially covered. Our team will review your coverage and outline the applicable benefits. We’ll also explore how to make your treatment affordable with dental financing and our in-house membership plan.
