Porcelain veneers in Northern New Jersey

One of the larger investments that you can make in the appearance of your smile is to be fitted for porcelain veneers. While the cost can be significant, the results are incredibly impressive and unsurpassed than most other cosmetic dentistry procedures.

What are Veneers?

Veneers are thin, shell-like devices, placed over a tooth to cover dental imperfections. Veneers can be used to repair the following conditions:

• Stained or discolored teeth.
• Damaged or broken and chipped teeth.
• Crooked teeth.
• Gaps between teeth.

Veneers are custom made for each of your individual teeth and can be created to match any shape, size or color you desire. Veneers can be made as bright and as white as you would like, and should hold their brightness over time.

After just two or three dental visits, veneers can rejuvenate your entire smile.

What Types of Veneers are Available?

Porcelain veneers and composite veneers are two types of veneers available in cosmetic dentistry. However, porcelain veneers are more popular than composite veneers for the following reasons:

• Porcelain veneers are strong and durable.
• Porcelain veneers are more natural looking and translucent in appearance than composite veneers.
• Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining.
• Composite veneers do not last as long as porcelain options and often need to be replaced.

What is the Process for Receiving Veneers?

Because veneers are custom-made products the process for receiving them is longer than other cosmetic dentistry treatments. You will be required to visit the dentist office for more than one appointment.

Veneers are manufactured outside of your dentist’s office. Your dentists will begin your treatment by making an impression of your teeth. This may have to be repeated throughout the process but only to ensure the most perfect fit for your new veneers. Additionally, your dentist may recommend professional whitening prior to the placement of veneers – especially if only some of your teeth are being treated with veneers.

Finally, in order to prepare your teeth to receive veneers, your dentist will buff down the enamel of your teeth to ensure better adhesion. Your final veneers will be fitted to your teeth and permanently bonded to their surface. All you’ll have to do is enjoy your beautiful new smile.
