Many of our Suffolk County patients that want a more attractive smile consider all of their treatment options before choosing the best one. Ultimately, most of them that want a complete makeover decide porcelain veneers are the best solution for their smile’s needs
What Exactly Are Porcelain Veneers?
A veneer is a thin shell of porcelain (that looks much like an artificial fingernail in the way that it’s shaped) that is cemented permanently to the front of a tooth, immediately changing how it looks when you smile.
Veneers are custom-made at a dental laboratory and can be just about any size, shape, and shade 一 making this procedure our most popular cosmetic dental treatment. For a complete smile makeover, our patients will typically have us treat all the upper teeth that show when they smile, which is anywhere between the front 6-10, depending on the individual
7 Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
There are several benefits to porcelain veneers including:
Dramatic Effects
Since veneers are customized to achieve practically any desired look, you can expect to achieve the most dramatic results from this cosmetic procedure.
Fast Results
Achieving a better-looking smile with veneers is quicker than other procedures, such as getting braces. After your initial prep appointment, you’ll already see a huge difference in your smile with your temporary veneers. And after just a few short weeks you’ll return to have your permanent ones placed, which will complete your treatment.
Veneers Work Better Than Bleaching
While professional bleaching products work well for whitening teeth, veneers are custom crafted so we can essentially make them even brighter than what you would accomplish with any whitening products.
Veneers Won’t Stain Like Bonding
Bonding 一 another cosmetic procedure where we place a composite resin material on teeth to change their shape and shade 一 can stain over time. Porcelain veneers will remain the same color they are from day one.
Veneers Last For Many Years
Porcelain veneers have a very long lifespan. While they may not last a lifetime, you should get an average of at least 10 years out of them if you care for them properly.
They Look And Feel Natural
When completing cosmetic dental treatment, you don’t want others to notice that you’ve had work done. You just want people to acknowledge that you have a nice smile and let them think that it’s the real thing. Porcelain veneers are custom-made to look and feel just like your own beautiful smile would.
Boost Your Confidence Level
Knowing that you have a beautiful smile will give you the confidence boost you need. You’ll be more apt to smile and may even make some new friends (or great first impressions!)
