What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are ultra-thin shells, similar to a contact lens for your teeth, that are custom-made to cover the front surface of your teeth. Each porcelain veneer is precisely designed by cosmetic dentists to improve your tooth’s appearance while maintaining a natural look. Whether you’re dealing with discolored teeth, gaps, slightly crooked teeth, or misshapen teeth, dental veneers offer a comprehensive cosmetic treatment solution for multiple dental issues.

Our team uses high-quality porcelain veneers and advanced cosmetic dentistry techniques to ensure your veneers feel natural and create a beautiful smile. From the initial consultation through the placement of final veneers, we focus on creating smile transformations that reflect your personality while addressing your aesthetic and oral health concerns.

Why Choose Veneers?

Do you find yourself hiding your smile in photos or covering your mouth when you laugh? You’re not alone. Stained, chipped, damaged teeth, or weakened teeth can hold you back from achieving self confidence. Unlike traditional veneers or dental bonding that may have limitations, modern porcelain veneers give you the perfect smile you’ve dreamed of in just a few visits.

Veneers do more than just enhance your appearance – they’re a comprehensive cosmetic procedure for multiple issues at once. Whether you’re dealing with slightly crooked teeth, stubborn discoloration that affects natural teeth, or gaps that impact your confidence, porcelain veneers deliver stunning, natural looking results that feel authentic.

Plus, they’re highly stain resistant, meaning you can enjoy your morning coffee regardless of lifestyle habits. With proper care and good oral health, your beautiful new smile can last 10-15 years or more, protecting the tooth underneath while enhancing natural beauty.

Tooth preparation

To prepare your natural teeth for porcelain veneers, we remove a small amount of enamel from the tooth surface to ensure they fit comfortably without damaging the tooth underneath. The top eight front teeth are most commonly treated with veneers.

Am I a Candidate for Veneers?

Considering porcelain veneers to transform your smile? The best candidates maintain good oral health and healthy teeth while wanting to improve appearance. Veneers might be perfect if you’re self-conscious about stained teeth that won’t respond to whitening, tired of seeing chips or worn edges affecting self confidence, or frustrated by slightly crooked teeth and misalignments.

During your Manhattan consultation, Dr. Shin carefully evaluates several factors including oral health to ensure dental veneers are your best option. We’ll assess important factors like enamel thickness on each tooth surface, gum health to prevent gum disease, and bite alignment to guarantee long-lasting results. Together, we’ll create a custom treatment plan addressing your unique cosmetic concerns while preserving the entire tooth structure.

What Are The Benefits of Getting Veneers?

If you look in the mirror and wish your smile was brighter, whiter, straighter, or more even, porcelain veneers may be the right solution. This life-changing cosmetic procedure offers many patients the following advantages:

Stain Resistant: While not entirely immune to staining, porcelain veneers are more stain resistant than natural enamel, keeping your new smile bright regardless of lifestyle habits.

Natural Looking: We ensure each veneer’s shade and shape match your natural teeth perfectly. Many patients report their new dentist can’t tell which teeth have veneers.

Easy Maintenance: Dental veneers don’t require additional maintenance appointments beyond regular checkups, making proper care simple.

Long-Lasting: Quality porcelain veneers from our dental lab can last up to 15 years with proper care, giving you durable results that enhance your life.

Versatile Solution: Cover veneers can address damaged teeth, weakened teeth, gaps, and discoloration in one cosmetic treatment, often without removal of significant tooth structure.
