At their offices in the Inwood neighborhood in Manhattan and the Morris Heights, Fordham Heights, Mount Hope, Mott Haven, and Morrisania neighborhoods in the Bronx, New York City, the team dramatically improves smiles with these tooth-transforming shells.

What are veneers?

Veneers are extremely thin shells that can transform the appearance of any tooth you want to change. Each veneer is shaped and colored to match seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. When your New York Dental Health provider bonds the veneer to the front of the tooth, people see the veneer instead of the underlying tooth. This gives it an instant makeover. 

New York Dental Health offers multiple types of veneers. Veneers made from porcelain have long been a favorite of patients, but they also offer dental composite veneers made from synthetic resin. Talk with your provider about your smile goals, and they can help you identify the right type of veneer. 

What smile issues can veneers correct?

Because veneers completely change the appearance of any tooth over which they’re placed, they’re extremely versatile. New York Dental Health uses them to correct:

• Chipped or cracked teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Worn teeth
• Stained teeth
• Teeth that are too short

Additionally, some people choose to get veneers over all of their teeth for a complete smile transformation. 

If you have a specific tooth that bothers you or you’re looking for a way to improve your smile, ask your New York Dental Health provider about veneers. They can help you decide if veneers are the right choice for you. 

What’s the process like for getting veneers?

For the veneer to lay flush with your surrounding teeth, your dentist starts the process by removing an extremely small amount of enamel from the front of your natural tooth. They then take an impression so they can create the veneer to fit precisely over the tooth. Your provider also color-matches the veneer to your surrounding teeth. 

Once your veneer is ready, you return to New York Dental Health so your dentist can bond it in place. You leave that appointment with a transformed smile. 

To protect your veneer and help it last for years, maintain good oral hygiene. Brush and floss daily and visit New York Dental Health biannually for teeth cleanings and checkups. Also, avoid biting hard foods and clenching your teeth. 

If you think veneers might be right for you, don’t hesitate to schedule your consultation with New York Dental Health by calling the nearest office or booking one online today.
