If you’re considering a surface makeover of your smile, Elite Dental Arts is the place to do it. At our comprehensive, restorative and cosmetic practice, we offer a number of services and technologies that can completely customize your smile, tooth by tooth. One method of accomplishing this is the use of porcelain veneers.
Porcelain veneers are cosmetic restoratives that make it possible to recreate the surface and outer structure of a tooth. As a thin, semi-translucent porcelain shell is crafted for each individual tooth and securely bonded to its surface, discoloration, chips, fractures, gaps and minor bite issues are corrected. Porcelain veneers make it possible to totally recreate the most visible portions of your smile as you envision. They are a superior option in cosmetic dentistry, but there are a few factors to consider when choosing veneers:
- Veneers often require slight modification to the outer structure of an existing tooth, but this amounts to less than one millimeter of enamel shaping.
- Veneers do not stain and they do not require any dietary restrictions, however, excessive force and destructive habits can cause them to chip or become damaged.
- Veneers do require some lab time for fabrication, typically several weeks. Once they are crafted, they can then be permanently bonded to the teeth.
- The longevity of veneers varies from patient to patient. They may need to be re-bonded to the tooth after a few years or they can last for decades.
To determine whether or not porcelain veneers are the right cosmetic dentistry solution for you, consider your smile care habits, desired results and arrange an appointment here with Dr. Nick Mobilia, DDS in our New York, NY dental practice, by calling our office at (212) 681-0939.
