Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are an excellent option to improve the appearance, color, texture, and size of your teeth. For people who have teeth that look too short, chipped, discolored, yellow, or irregularly shaped, porcelain veneers provide a solution that can give you a perfect-looking smile.

How Can Porcelain Veneers Improve My Smile?

porcelain veneers in midtown new yorkAs a cosmetic dentist, Dr. Philips is an expert in providing elegant, long-lasting, and natural-looking porcelain veneers. It’s the best-kept secret in her practice. Dr. Philips’ patients get a lot of compliments for their naturally looking smile from friends, relatives, and coworkers. Dr. Philips makes her veneers very thin and translucent, so light passes through them. 

Will Porcelain Veneers Look Natural?

Veneers are fabricated with a pattern of grooves that reflect light the way natural teeth do. They will have natural-looking shading and contours that complement your facial structure and skin tone. Often, women’s and men’s teeth look different, so we will take that into account when designing your new smile, as well.

Naturally, your smile goals are the guiding principle behind our smile makeovers. Dr. Philips will speak to you in-depth about what your dream smile looks like, and also plan for comfortable function during the treatment planning process.

How Do Porcelain Veneers Work?

Dr. Philips will prepare the teeth for porcelain veneers, take impressions of your teeth that are sent to a specialized cosmetic dental laboratory, and install comfortable temporary veneers for protection. When the patient returns, the porcelain veneers will be fitted and bonded to the teeth.

Time to enjoy the beautiful smile and keep your teeth in pristine condition!

How Do I Prepare for My Veneers Treatment in Midtown, NYC?

Excellent oral health is essential before beginning any restorative dentistry treatment. Dr. Philips will perform a full exam to rule out decay, gum disease, or bite issues. Her expertise and guidance will help you get back on track to great oral health.

You might also consider teeth whitening prior to veneer, crown, or bonding placement for an overall brighter final look. Veneers do not whiten like natural teeth, so we want to make sure you have a final shade that you love. Do Veneers Take a Long Time?

Once you have an exam, and your teeth and gums are healthy, you can have your new smile in just a few appointments in our Midtown, Manhattan dental practice. Your temporary veneers give you the opportunity to try on your new dream smile and ensure that you are thrilled with the results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry option when it comes to improving the appearance of a patient's smile. Porcelain veneers are an excellent choice for white, more-uniform looking teeth. 

 

dental veneersHow Long Do Veneers Last?

Veneers are thin, crafted porcelain covers bonded to the front of your teeth, providing a natural-looking, beautiful appearance. Dr. Philips can use them to correct a wide range of dental concerns, including misshapen teeth, stains, gaps, and chips. While veneers are durable, they are not permanent, and will eventually need to be replaced. 

 

The lifespan of veneers depends on several factors, including the type of veneer used, the skill of the dentist, and the patient's oral hygiene habits. Veneers, in general, can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years before needing replacement. With proper care, patients can enjoy their beautiful new smiles for many years to come.

This is dedicated time for you and Dr. Philips to discuss your goals for your smile along with any oral health conditions you might be concerned about. Together, you can decide on the cosmetic dental treatment that will work best for you.

#2 Evaluation

A full exam, including x-rays, a periodontal evaluation, and bite evaluation will help Dr. Philips prepare for any pre-treatment appointments necessary to ensure great results. This might include a dental cleaning and teeth whitening for overall brighter results.

#3 Design

Dr. Philips will design the size and shape of your veneers for both aesthetics and function. Together you decide on an appropriate shade for your new smile.

#4 Preparation

For most veneers, a small amount of enamel must be polished away to make space for the veneer, so they do not look bulky. At the time of preparation, Dr. Philips will fit you with temporary veneers while our local dental lab creates the final porcelain ones.

#5 Restoration

The final and most exciting step of the veneer process is bonding the final veneers to your teeth. Dr. Philips will secure them in place and make any minute adjustments to ensure a comfortable bite.

Now it’s time to show off your new smile to everyone you meet!
