Veneers in Germantown, MD
A Complete Smile Transformation in as Few as Two Visits
Custom-Designed for Your Face
No two smiles are the same. Dr. Cho factors in your facial structure, skin tone, and natural tooth proportions to create a result that looks like a better version of your own smile, not a generic one. Your finished smile will look and, most importantly, feel like you.
Two Material Options, One Standard of Quality
New Life Dental offers both porcelain veneers and lithium disilicate ceramic veneers. Porcelain veneers are layered to create depth and a natural appearance. Lithium disilicate veneers are milled from a single block of ceramic, offering exceptional strength and translucency that closely replicates natural enamel. Dr. Cho recommends the right material based on your goals, bite, and the condition of your existing teeth.
You See the Result Before We Begin
Before any tooth preparation takes place, Dr. Cho walks you through your smile design so you know exactly what your final result will look like. Nothing is permanent until you are confident in the outcome.

How Veneers Can Improve Your Smile
Discoloration and Staining
Deeply stained teeth often do not respond fully to whitening. Veneers cover the surface entirely, giving you a consistently bright, even tone that holds up over time.
Chips and Cracks
A chipped or cracked tooth affects every photo, every conversation, every first impression. Veneers restore the natural shape and surface of damaged teeth seamlessly.
Gaps and Spacing
Minor gaps can be closed with veneers without orthodontic treatment. For patients with small or widely spaced teeth, veneers create a fuller, more even smile without moving the teeth themselves.
Uneven Shape or Size
Teeth that are too small, too short, or irregularly shaped make a smile look unbalanced. Veneers add length, width, or symmetry where it is needed.
When It's Time to Choose Veneers
Veneers may be the right solution if:
- You are self-conscious about your smile in daily life or photographs
- Whitening has not delivered the results you were hoping for
- One or more teeth are chipped, cracked, or noticeably uneven
- You want a long-term cosmetic solution rather than a temporary fix
Book your consultation today to discuss your treatment options and smile goals. Dr. Cho will guide you to the best treatment plan for your unique needs.
How Veneers Redesign Your Smile
Smile Design
Your process begins with a consultation where Dr. Cho evaluates your teeth, discusses your goals, and designs your new smile. Shade, shape, size, and symmetry are all agreed upon before preparation begins.
Temporary Veneers
A thin layer of enamel is removed from the tooth surface to make room for the veneer. Temporary veneers are placed to protect your teeth and preview your final result while your permanent veneers are fabricated. Any adjustments to shape or fit are made at this stage.
Permanent Veneers
When your permanent veneers are ready, the temporaries are removed, and each veneer is fitted, adjusted, and bonded. Dr. Cho checks your bite, makes any final refinements, and ensures you are satisfied before you leave.
With proper care, your veneers are designed to last a decade or more.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started?
Schedule a consultation online. Dr. Cho will evaluate your teeth, discuss your goals, and walk you through your options before any decisions are made.
Are veneers reversible?
Because enamel is removed during preparation, veneers are a permanent commitment. Dr. Cho discusses this thoroughly during your consultation so you can make a fully informed decision.
How many teeth can be treated with veneers?
Veneers can be placed on a single tooth or across multiple teeth. Full smile makeovers typically involve the upper front six to ten visible teeth. Dr. Cho will discuss the scope of treatment during your consultation.
Will veneers look natural?
Yes. Both porcelain and lithium disilicate ceramic veneers replicate the light-reflective properties of natural enamel. Dr. Cho matches shade and shape to your surrounding teeth and facial proportions for a result that looks naturally beautiful, not obviously cosmetic.
How do I care for my veneers?
Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend routine checkups. Avoid biting into very hard foods, and wear a night guard if you grind your teeth.
Can veneers fix crooked teeth?
Veneers can correct the appearance of mildly uneven teeth without orthodontic treatment. They are not a substitute for braces or aligners in cases of significant misalignment. Dr. Cho will assess your teeth and recommend the most appropriate solution.
Are veneers the same as crowns?
No. A veneer covers only the front surface of a tooth. A crown covers the entire tooth and is typically recommended when a tooth is significantly damaged or weakened.
What is the difference between porcelain and lithium disilicate ceramic veneers?
Porcelain veneers are layered to create depth and a natural appearance. Lithium disilicate ceramic veneers are milled from a single block of ceramic, making them exceptionally strong and highly translucent. Dr. Cho will recommend the right material based on your goals and bite.
Do veneers damage your natural teeth?
Veneer placement requires removing a small amount of enamel from the tooth surface. This is permanent, which is why Dr. Cho takes time during the consultation to make sure veneers are the right solution before proceeding.
How long do veneers last?
With proper care, porcelain and lithium disilicate ceramic veneers typically last between 10 and 20 years. Longevity depends on your oral hygiene habits, whether you grind your teeth, and how consistently you attend checkups.
