At ToothDocs, dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. They are bonded to the front surface of the teeth and can be used to correct a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including chipped, stained, misaligned, or misshapen teeth. They can be used to correct minor cosmetic issues, such as stains or chips, or they can be used to improve the appearance of teeth that have been damaged or worn down. 

The Procedure for Dental Veneers 

When a patient is interested in veneers, the first step is to schedule a consultation with their dentist. During this appointment, the dentist in New York, will examine the patient’s mouth and determine if veneers are the right option for them. If the patient is a good candidate for veneers, the dentist will take X-rays and create a treatment plan. 

Next, the dentist will prepare the teeth for the veneers by removing a thin layer of the enamel from the front surface of the tooth. This is necessary to make room for the veneer and ensure a proper fit. Once the teeth are prepped, the dentist will take an impression of the patient’s teeth and send it to a lab where the veneer will be custom-made to fit them. 

When the custom veneers are ready, the patient will return to the office to have them placed. The dentist will first clean the teeth and then place the veneers using a special adhesive. Once in place, the dentist will check the fit and make any adjustments necessary to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. 

The Advantages of Dental Veneers 

• Dental veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells bonded to the fronts of your teeth to improve their appearance. They are made of porcelain or resin composite materials and are designed to look just like your natural teeth. Veneers are custom-made for each patient, so they will fit perfectly in your mouth and blend in seamlessly with the rest of your smile. 
• Veneers in New York, fix various cosmetic issues, including chipped teeth, gaps between teeth, discoloration, crooked teeth, and more. They can even cover minor misalignments, making them an excellent solution for patients who don’t want to undergo orthodontic treatment. 
• Another advantage of veneers is that they require very little preparation before they’re placed. Your dentist will remove a thin layer of enamel from the front of the tooth and then bond the veneer in place. This makes them less invasive than cosmetic dentistry treatments, such as crowns or implants.
