Porcelain veneers: the secret to a picture-perfect smile

Have you ever noticed that more people than ever before have stunning smiles worthy of being on the big screen? It’s not just a chance! With the advances that have been made in cosmetic dentistry, there are many convenient and affordable options for crafting the perfect smile you’ve always dreamed about. At TriBeCa Dental Associates PC, patients in the Brooklyn, New York, and Manhattan areas can completely transform their smiles in as little as two visits with porcelain dental veneers.

How porcelain veneers transform smiles

Dental veneers are ultra-thin pieces of high-quality, durable porcelain that are custom-crafted based on your unique smile and desired end results. Modern dental veneers are very natural-looking and have the same luster and translucency as natural tooth enamel, leaving people guessing about how your smile looks so stunning! Once your veneers are created based on our precise specifications, they are bonded onto the front of your teeth where they can hide a wide array of imperfections, including:

• Gaps between teeth
• Mildly crooked teeth
• Asymmetry in your smile
• Oddly shaped teeth
• Teeth that are smaller than the rest
• Worn-down teeth
• Pits or grooves in the enamel
• Permanently stained or discolored teeth that are resistant to tooth whitening treatments

Getting dental veneers placed

After consulting with our dental team at TriBeCa Dental Associates PC and determining that porcelain veneers are the best choice for your specific needs and treatment preferences, the whole process for getting veneers placed can be completed in just two-three visits over the course of 3-4 weeks. During your first visit, we will prepare your teeth for the veneers by removing a small amount of enamel from the teeth that the veneers will be bonded to. This helps ensure the veneers don’t appear too bulky once bonded to your teeth or create a misalignment in your bite. We then take dental impressions so that your veneers can be crafted in a laboratory to perfectly fit your smile, which takes about two weeks. After we receive your veneers, you will come back into the office, and we will try them on your teeth, making any minor adjustments needed. Once you and the dentist are both happy with the fit and appearance of your veneers, we bond them onto your teeth with a strong dental adhesive, and you are free to enjoy your brand-new smile and show it off to others!

Dental veneers are very durable and don’t require any extra dental care beyond normal brushing and flossing. Still, it is important to avoid biting into hard items such as ice and pens or biting your nails to avoid cracking them. We will talk with you about ensuring that your veneers are long-lasting so that you have a beautiful smile for years to come.
