Transform Your Smile With Dental Veneers

This patient came to our office to address the gaps in her top teeth. A set of 10 veneers not only hid the gaps but gave her a brilliant new smile. At our Staten Island, NY, dental office, Drs. Alex and Jason Hecht can design and place highly lifelike porcelain veneers to completely revitalize your smile. Request a consultation to learn what this dentistry procedure can do for your appearance.

A Grandmother's Beautiful New Smile

Our patient Santina has been with us for more than three decades. She had been considering cosmetic dentistry, but delayed it for years. Using our digital smile design tools, we were able to give her a glimpse of what we could provide. These images show the results of a comprehensive treatment that combined dental implants, custom restorations, and porcelain veneers. Santina says she feels like a new person thanks to these customized results, and her grandchildren are always asking to see her smile.

What Problems Can Veneers Address?

When a concern is purely cosmetic, veneers are a fast and simple way to revitalize your smile. Veneers can hide many imperfections, making them one of the most versatile cosmetic dentistry options. Veneers can improve the appearance of:

  • Stains and discoloration
  • Chips
  • Cracks
  • Worn teeth
  • Gaps
  • Minor misalignment 

However, it's important to understand that veneers are only cosmetic. If there's an underlying problem with the health or function of your smile, veneers can't fix it. If porcelain veneers are not the best option for your teeth, Dr. Hecht may recommend an alternative treatment that is more appropriate for your smile, such as crowns or orthodontics.

If You Need More Concealment, Consider Crowns

Veneers can provide a stunning upgrade to your smile if you have teeth with minor imperfections. But what if you have a tooth that is too misshapen or structurally compromised to enhance with a veneer? What if you have a tooth that is so discolored that it might show through the veneer itself? In these cases, we may recommend a dental crown instead of a veneer. Crowns have been in use in dentistry for centuries, and are primarily known as a restorative solution. But today, with the advanced materials and tools at your dentist's disposal, crowns can also be used to cover imperfections that veneers cannot.

During your consultation, we will conduct a careful assessment of your goals and the state of your teeth to determine if veneers, crowns, or another solution is the best way to make your smile look incredible.

How Porcelain Veneers Are Placed

Whether you're addressing one tooth or many teeth, veneers can be placed in just two visits to our Staten Island, NY, office. 

Our practice uses medical-grade porcelain for stunning, lifelike results.

Preparation

Your dentist will prepare your smile by removing a thin layer of enamel from the teeth being treated. This process ensures that the veneers won't protrude and will fit naturally among surrounding teeth. 

Impressions

Once your teeth are prepared, your dentist will take impressions. We will then send the impressions to our trusted dental laboratory for your custom porcelain veneers to be crafted.

Fabrication

It takes two weeks for your veneers to be fabricated. During this time, your dentist will fit you with temporary veneers to protect your teeth. 

Final Check

When your veneers are ready, you will return to our Staten Island office for final placement. Your dentist will check the appearance and shape of the dental veneers and make any necessary adjustments.

Bonding

If you are satisfied with the result, he will lightly etch your teeth to help create a strong bond between the tooth and the veneer. Your dentist will then affix the veneers to the front of your teeth for a fully transformed smile.

Caring for Your Dental Veneers

To ensure the best results, our dental veneers are made from porcelain. Porcelain veneers look more like natural teeth than composite veneers made from resin. Porcelain also has the benefit of being longer-lasting than resin, so your veneers will look stunning for years.

With good care, veneers can last from 7-15 years. To keep your veneers in top shape:

Brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist for twice-yearly cleanings. 

Don't chew on hard objects like pens, fingernails, and ice, as these may chip your veneers. 

Limit consumption of foods and drinks that stain both veneers and your natural teeth, such as coffee, tea, dark berries, and red wine.
