Smile Transformations: Before and After Veneers in Marriottsville
If you’ve ever wondered what kind of magic a new smile can bring, dental veneers might be your answer. At Revive Dental in Marriottsville, we’ve seen patients go from hiding their teeth to proudly showing them off after treatment. Whether you want to fix chips, gaps, or stubborn stains, think of veneers as a showstopping outfit for your smile!
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom covers placed on the front of teeth to improve appearance. They’re strong, natural-looking, and designed to address multiple concerns at once. Think of veneers as a durable smile upgrade you can count on for years.
Types include:
- Porcelain veneers – long-lasting, stain-resistant, and very natural-looking
- Composite veneers – more affordable, usually applied in one visit
Patients from Marriottsville to Ellicott City choose veneers when whitening isn’t enough or when they want a more dramatic smile makeover.
Who Can Benefit from Veneers?
Veneers are versatile and can help with:
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Gaps or uneven spacing
- Mild misalignment
- Worn enamel from grinding
If you’ve ever covered your mouth when laughing or avoided smiling in photos, veneers could be your ideal solution for restoring your confidence!
Porcelain vs. Composite Veneers
| Feature | Porcelain Veneers | Composite Veneers |
| Durability | 10–15 years | 5–7 years |
| Stain Resistance | Highly resistant | More prone |
| Appearance | Very natural | Good, but less translucent |
| Appointments | 2–3 visits | Often 1 visit |
Both options improve your smile, but porcelain offers greater longevity and stain resistance.

Feedback From A Revive Dental Patient
“Revive Dental has almost made me love going to the dentist. The entire staff is expert, but also great people, whom I enjoy seeing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are veneers permanent?

Do veneers damage your teeth?

Can veneers fix missing teeth?
Veneers require a tooth for support and bonding and are meant to enhance the appearance of existing teeth. If you are looking to replace a missing tooth, you can consider restorative options like dentures, dental implants, or bridges. Have questions? Call (443) 364-3144 today!
What’s the difference between porcelain and composite veneers?
VPorcelain veneers are custom-crafted in a dental lab and provide impressive strength, durability, and lifelike translucency. They also resist staining better than natural enamel. Composite dental veneers are applied directly in the office and can often be completed in one appointment. While they are more affordable, they often don’t last as long as porcelain. Call us at (443) 364-3144 to learn more!
Can I whiten veneers?
Because teeth whitening treatments do not work on veneers, it’s important to select the shade you’d like before placement. Keep in mind that porcelain veneers maintain their color exceptionally well, even against coffee, wine, or tea stains, so they continue to look great for years after being placed!
