If you watched the AMC series Mad Men, you will remember the actress who played Don Draper's wife, Betty–January Jones. And yes that is her real name.

I can't tell just from looking whether or not Ms. Jones has Ashburn porcelain veneers. Without a doubt, she is a beautiful woman with a dazzling smile as you can easily see from pictures. Ms. Jones is originally from South Dakota, and she once was employed at Dairy Queen. She is a chic, all-American woman as well as a fine actress.

It's easy to see the incredible effect having good teeth and a great smile make on Ms. Jones. She very well might have acquired Ashburn porcelain veneers at some point, though she has never been in my office for treatment. She may also have had a Ashburn smile makeover for all we know, but if she did, she didn't come to me. But I have worked on (and still do work on) some well known people in the past.

I really like working with people who want healthy teeth and who want to look after their smile. Dentistry can be healing or it can be aesthetic. Sometimes both. I do both kinds of dentistry. I care most about your health. The second concern is equally important and that is the overall beauty of the work. But the two aren't exclusive–they go together.

I routinely do porcelain veneers in my office here in Ashburn, and when I do them I try to remove very little natural tooth material. I make this a priority so your teeth will be as firm and sturdy as they were before you ever thought about getting veneers. And if you ever reconsider the veneers and decide you want them taken off, you can. As a dentist, I don't put cosmetics ahead of dental health. But you're the patient, so you should be able to make the choice.
