Veneers
Your Smile Shouldn't Be Something You Hide
You know the feeling: the closed-mouth smile in photos, the instinct to cover your face when you laugh. It seems small at first, until you realise how much space it's taking up. Dr. Gundarpi and Dr. Ummareddy know that veneers are a deeply personal decision to make, so they take the time to understand what’s bothering you about your teeth, because your smile is worth sharing.
A Lasting Change That Still Looks Like You
Veneers have a reputation for looking overdone, and it’s understandable if that's what’s been putting you off. What you want is a smile that still looks like yours, without the parts that have had you volunteering to take the photo instead of being in it.
That's the difference between a standard veneer and one that’s placed with care and thought. Dr. Gundarpi and Dr. Ummareddy work with minimal prep veneers wherever possible, meaning less of your natural tooth structure is touched in the process. Done well, veneers are remarkably durable, giving you a result that holds up for well over a decade. And it’s a result so natural that all people will notice is that you’ve stopped holding back and started smiling more freely.
Thin Shell, Noticeable Difference
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They're one of the most versatile cosmetic treatments available, addressing everything from staining that whitening hasn't been able to shift, to chips and cracks, spaces between teeth, and teeth that feel slightly out of proportion with the rest of your smile.
What makes them worth considering isn't just what they fix on the outside. It's the way you carry yourself differently when you're no longer thinking about how your teeth look in those moments you’d rather be present to enjoy without reserve.
Because we handle everything in-house at Arlington Dental Clinic, any preparatory work your teeth may need is taken care of without referring you elsewhere.
From First Conversation to Final Result
- When we say that your first visit is a conversation, we mean it. Dr. Gundarpi and Dr. Ummareddy are the kind of doctors who ask questions first and genuinely listen to the answers. They want to understand what's been bothering you and how you want to feel about your smile.
- The whole team is here to make you feel at ease. From the moment you walk in, you'll notice that the atmosphere is deliberately unhurried and welcoming. If you have questions at any point, or need a moment to think something through, there's always space for that.
- Your veneers are then custom-crafted. Once your doctors have a clear picture of what you're looking for, precise measurements are taken and your veneers are made to fit your teeth exactly, with your facial features and natural proportions in mind.
- At your final visit, they're bonded in place. The result is immediate. You leave with the smile you came in hoping for, along with clear guidance on keeping it looking its best, and a team that remains available to support you and answer any questions, long after your last appointment.
