Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain Veneers are a great way to reshape your mouth and create a whole new smile. Veneers are a thin durable shell that are placed over your natural teeth. They can fix problems such as staining, cracked teeth, spaces, misaligned teeth, and chipped teeth. At Elite Dental Arts, located in New York, NY., Dr. Nick M. Mobilia, D.D.S., offers veneers and other cosmetic services.

 

Veneers take 2-3 appointments to complete. At your first appointment with Dr. Moiblia, you will work together to decide on veneers that work best for you. There are many different options when it comes to the appearance of your veneers. It is recommended that you do independent research before your appointment. This allows you to have a better idea of what you want your veneers to look like. There are two major choices that need to be made when choosing your veneers: shape and color. Veneers are offered in both round and square shapes. It is a common misbelief that rounded teeth are more feminine, while square teeth are more masculine. This is not true and both shapes are available regardless of gender. For color, veneers come in shades of natural all the way to Hollywood levels of brightness. Once these decisions have been made, the next part of the process can begin.

 

Before veneers can be placed. Dr. Mobilia and our staff will clean your teeth. This allows for an easier bonding between the veneers and your natural teeth. Afterward, an impression of your teeth will be taken. This impression is sent to a dental laboratory to create your custom made and fit veneers. This takes about 10-14 days to complete. In the meantime, you will be given temporary veneers. At your final appointment, the permanent veneers will be bonded onto your teeth.

Improving Your Smile

At Elite Dental Arts, we have different treatment options for our patients that are looking to improve their smile. No matter how well you brush your teeth, discoloration can happen over time if you consume too much sugary and acidic foods.

To improve your smile we offer teeth whitening, bonding, and porcelain veneers and crowns. Whitening your teeth can make your teeth 4-8 times whiter and tooth bonding is an adhesive that we use to improve the appearance of the discoloration on your teeth. We also offer porcelain veneers and crowns that protect your teeth from damage.

Teeth discoloration occurs when your tooth’s enamel wears off. We encourage our patients to avoid using tobacco and follow a well-balanced diet with plenty of water to prevent discoloration. Brushing and flossing twice a day decreases your chance discoloration.

Don’t forget to make an appointment with us twice a year to keep your teeth healthy. We want you to have the best and brightest smile!

Causes of Gap Teeth

Elite Dental Arts is a trusted provider of aesthetic dental care in Midtown. Dr. Nick Mobilia is a certified provider of Invisalign, the removable orthodontic appliances that move teeth comfortably without metal. These devices fix minor misalignments and gaps in the teeth, but what causes gaps (also known as diastema) to develop in the first place? That’s the subject of this week’s blog.

The most common place for diastema is between the upper front incisors (the infamous “gap-tooth”). If the gap is small, Invisalign may not even be necessary. Veneers can be used to slightly adjust the surfaces of the teeth. But the teeth may be kept apart by an overdeveloped labial frenum. This vertical strip of connective tissue anchors the upper lip to the inside of the mouth, and it can be surgically reduced in size.

While overdeveloped frenums are a problem, gap teeth are likelier to be caused by the same forces that cause overbites. Tongue thrusting can push the teeth outward and apart. This habit is sometimes the result of psychological stress, but it can also be an involuntary reflex due to an ear, nose, and throat issue. Coordination with a specialist would be necessary to fix this. Children are also at risk of developing overbites if they suck their thumbs past about the age of five.

Porcelain Veneers

Patients of Dr. Nick Mobilia at Elite Dental Arts are always asking about the latest cosmetic fixes for teeth. There are many options available for whitening or straightening teeth, but veneers are a great cosmetic option that can help staining and cracked or chipped teeth.  Even crooked teeth and small gaps can be made into a sparkling smile with porcelain laminate veneers.

Patients can have a new smile using porcelain laminate veneers in as little as two visits. First, you and a dentist will discuss the shape and look you want for your new smile.  Once your teeth are prepared for the treatment, an impression of your teeth is taken. This impression is sent to a dental laboratory to make the final product.  Ask us about temporary cosmetic options for you to wear for the two weeks it may take for the custom product to be fabricated. On your final visit, the veneers are bonded to the surface of your teeth for you to wear home and wear forever!

Cosmetic Dentistry: Veneers

If you are lacking confidence in your smile because of stained, cracked, chipped, or decayed teeth, then Dr. Nick Mobilia of Elite Dental Arts may recommend veneers. Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that are custom made to fit over teeth. Once veneers are placed, the process is irreversible, so it’s important to discuss any questions or concerns with Dr. Nick Mobilia before you make the final decision.

Veneers have the ability to mask imperfections such as tooth discoloration. This is because they are custom-made shells crafted of tooth-colored materials that are designed to cover the front side of the teeth. To prepare a tooth for a veneer, Dr. Mobilia will remove a small amount of the tooth surface to guarantee placement of the veneer. He will then take an impression of the tooth or teeth that will need them and send the impression off to a dental laboratory. Once the veneers are ready, they will be applied and hardened using special cement. You will then walk out of the office with the smile you’ve always dreamed of.

If you wish to enhance the appearance of your smile, please give us a call to discuss your treatment options.
