Dental Veneers in Brooklyn NY

What are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin shells of material custom-made to fit over the entire front surface of a tooth. Usually, they wrap around the sides and over a tooth’s biting or incisal edge, but the inner or back surface is left uncovered. Veneers are bonded onto teeth, creating a more cosmetically perfect appearance.

How Do Veneers Work?
Because dental veneers cover the front surface of a tooth, they can improve your smile, hiding any minor flaws and imperfections. They are fabricated to create a more flattering aesthetic appearance and can be fitted over any tooth visible when you smile. Veneers are suitable for upper and lower front teeth.

What are Dental Veneers Made From?
Veneers can be made from composite resin or porcelain. Other veneers are called prepless veneers or press-on veneers.

Applying Porcelain Veneers
First, we will prepare your teeth using a local anesthetic to ensure you are comfortable during preparation. The amount of tooth structure removed is tiny, as a conventional porcelain veneer is around 0.5mm thick. Prepless veneers are around 0.2 mm thick. Once we have shaped your teeth, we take a dental impression and select a suitable shade for your new veneers.

If you wish to have just one or two veneers, this shade will blend beautifully with the rest of your front teeth. If you choose to cover all the teeth in your smile line with veneers, we can select a slightly lighter shade if desired.

The impression and prescription for your new veneers are sent to the dental laboratory, which will make your veneers so they fit precisely, and in a shape and size that complements your appearance and fits in with existing teeth. In the meantime, we can fit temporary veneers.

When your new veneers are ready, you return to Century Dental Center so we can try them in and ensure they fit precisely and look and feel good. You will get to approve their appearance before we permanently bond them onto your teeth. If you wish for any changes to their appearance, please speak up before we bond them into place, as we can liaise closely with our dental laboratory to ensure you get perfect results.

After your veneers are fitted, you can immediately return to everyday activities. Initially, they might feel a bit strange until you become accustomed to them. This is perfectly normal; soon, they should feel like they have been in place forever.

Applying Composite Resin Veneers
Composite resin veneers are applied directly to tooth surfaces, so minimal or no preparation is necessary.

A suitable shade of composite resin is chosen, the tooth surface is prepared by lightly etching it to increase the bond between the tooth and the material, and the resin is applied and hardened. Once hard, it is shaped and polished.
