Veneer teeth are designed from thin slices of a material that gives your teeth the color you’re looking to achieve. They have the ability to turn unattractive, yellowing teeth into a whiter, natural hue to complete your smile makeover in our dental office. Dental veneers are applied onto the surface of your teeth with long-lasting cement. The ultraviolet light then hardens the cement. It’s an easy and painless procedure when performed by our top-rated dentist.
Getting veneers teeth requires a simple office visit. According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, about 89 percent of those seeking any kind of dental work do so to improve their appearance, while only 54 percent visit a dentist to improve their dental health. Like you, however, many see a dentist to get the best of both.

Such a professional and friendly place. A good dentist is not that difficult to find in New York but such a reliable, always high quality long lasting work that this office does is rare. I have crowns and veneers from this office that lasting nearly 20 years. I change where I live but never changed my dentist. And I am glad I did not!

Veneers are a non-surgical solution to problems including tooth gaps, cracked, chipped, and stained teeth, and incorrectly-sized teeth. They can provide you with the color and efficiency that you are seeking and make eating and talking easier. What’s more, it that is normally incredibly difficult to tell the difference between your veneers and your remaining teeth. Veneers are also stain-proof. You can maintain your veneers in the same way you would treat your normal teeth.
After a consultation at our dental clinic, giving you a complete understanding of the process and why each stage needs to occur, and after determining that veneers are the best option for you, we can start to add the veneers. Our dentists, Dr. Alexander and Dr. Irene, will then create a wax model of your smile to show you will your teeth will look like. We usually need to scrape off a tiny amount of the existing tooth surface to ensure the veneer fits properly.
This provides the right aesthetics whilst giving the tooth its function back. The process usually takes around three months, and you will normally be given temporary veneers. The temporary veneers will give you an insight into how the end result will look and feel and gives us a chance to make adjustments if needed before the permanent veneers are fitted. Once this period is over, you can expect to have bite function fully restored. The process cannot be reversed once the permanent veneers are in place.
Our dental specialists will need to use a gel to roughen up the tooth surface and make the bonding process more efficient. We will use a light wand to send heat through the veneer to the bonding agent and remove moisture to speed up bonding before eliminating any excess cement and polishing the veneer.
If you need more extensive dental treatment, you may not be able to get veneers, at least not right away. Your dentist may recommend alternatives to veneers that may give you the same, if not better, results. Alternatives to veneers that may work well for you may include:
Porcelain veneers are what are called indirect restorations meaning they are made outside the mouth. In contrast, composite resin veneers are direct restorations because the composite resin is applied directly to the tooth surfaces. Although slightly more expensive, porcelain veneers are hard-wearing and long-lasting, and with the right care, should last ten years or longer. Also, porcelain cannot stain or change shade.
Composite resin veneers are cheaper, and the process to make and fit them is usually quicker, typically completed in a single visit. In contrast, porcelain veneers can take two or more visits. However, composite resin can become stained after a few years and isn’t as hard-wearing. You will need to replace composite resin veneers more quickly compared with porcelain veneers.
Porcelain veneers can be a good choice if you want to have multiple veneers, as often people choose this treatment to cover all the teeth visible when smiling or at least all their front teeth. If you only have one or two teeth that you wish to veneer, composite resin veneers could be a much more economical choice.
Once you have your veneers, you will want to care for them properly as this will help prolong their life. Make sure you see your dentist regularly for checkups and hygiene appointments. In between your checkups, be sure to brush your teeth at least twice a day. Floss thoroughly around all your teeth, including those with dental veneers. The more you look after your veneers, the longer they will last and look good. Also, treat your veneers gently as if they were your natural teeth, and avoid opening packets or using them as tools that could chip the veneers.
Some people only need to have a few veneers, as their teeth are otherwise quite nicely shaped. Others will opt for a more comprehensive treatment, where they are fitted with multiple veneers covering most or all the teeth they show when smiling or talking. Your choice depends on your aims for treatment, and often veneers are used as part of a more comprehensive smile makeover.
Usually, veneers will last ten years or even longer, but this all depends on how well you look after them. You must brush and floss around your veneers thoroughly, and it’s crucial to continue seeing your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings.

You might have heard about prep-free veneers, where no tooth preparation is necessary. These veneers are made from extremely strong, thin porcelain and can last up to 20 years. However, they are only suitable in specific circumstances and where there is enough room to place your veneers without modifying your teeth. For example, if you have teeth that need bringing out into alignment or which are too small or worn, these veneers could be an option.
Dental veneers can be an excellent approach to improving your smile and addressing aesthetic issues such as stains, discoloration, chipped teeth, gaps, and misalignment. Veneers have several advantages, including stain resistance, durability, a natural look, and quick results. Choosing a reputable dentist is critical because they assure appropriate veneer installation, personalized customization, and minimal tooth structure loss, all of which contribute to veneer lifespan and natural appearance.
