Porcelain Veneers in Brooklyn & Pomona, NY

A natural-looking cosmetic dentistry treatment that can provide a dramatic smile makeover, our porcelain veneers are also created using CAD/CAM technology and finished with an additional layer of porcelain that is expertly applied by a very experienced dental technician/artist to ensure the most esthetic and lifelike appearance for a beautiful smile. Our cosmetic dentists use modern techniques to create a natural looking smile that enhances your oral health at our dental centers in Brooklyn and Pomona, NY.

Dental veneers can be applied to one or several front teeth for any of the following cosmetic dental concerns:

• Correct gaps between the teeth
• Correct uneven teeth and worn down teeth
• Correct slightly misaligned teeth
• Correct discoloration
• Restore chipped teeth
• Correct slightly crooked teeth
• Change the size or shape

Dental veneers cover the front tooth surface slightly wrap around the sides and biting edge of the tooth structure. In most cases, each tooth receiving a veneer will be carefully prepped prior to the veneer fabrication and placement. This minimally invasive tooth preparation involves removing a thin (usually less than one millimeter) layer of enamel from the natural tooth in the areas that will be covered by the veneer. This allows the veneer to fit seamlessly with the contours of the natural tooth enamel. A local anesthetic may be used to keep the process as comfortable and painless as possible. A dental impression is then taken and sent to a dental laboratory, where your new veneers are custom-crafted. Temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth while your permanent restorations are being made. The dental veneers are attached using a thin but strong bonding material. The material hardens when cured by a specialized light. Our dentist ensures new veneers blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for optimal oral health.

Are You a Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?

During a dental exam, our cosmetic dentists will evaluate your smile and develop a treatment plan as part of the smile design process. To achieve the best aesthetic outcome, candidates should have healthy teeth and gums. Patients with significant tooth decay, gum disease, or very large fillings may need to address those dental problems first before proceeding with veneers. Following your dentist’s advice is essential for long-term success. Because tooth preparation removes a thin layer of enamel from the natural tooth, veneers are considered a permanent solution — unlike some dental treatments, this is not a reverse treatment, so it’s important to make an informed decision. With proper care, your new smile and new teeth can last for many years.

Traditional Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain dental veneers are the longest-lasting and most aesthetically-pleasing type of veneer. They are created in a lab to the exact specifications of the dentist and mimic the look of natural enamel, using multiple thin layers of porcelain. The size, color, shape, and fit are fully customized.

Composite Veneers
Made using composite resin for dental bonding, composite veneers may be made in the dental office or in a dental lab and are less expensive than porcelain veneers. They can alter the appearance of discolored teeth, size, or shape and can be an effective solution for less extensive cosmetic improvements. They are fully customized as are the porcelain veneers, but the composite material is somewhat susceptible to staining and does not last as long as porcelain.

Instant Veneers
Prefabricated resin veneers are not customized to the shape and fit of your tooth but they do come in many different sizes and shapes. With prepless veneers, the doctor will help patients select the color and shape that is best suited to their smile and overall coloring. Because there are fewer appointments for dental treatment and no lab fees, this solution is much more affordable than porcelain or composite veneers and can often be done in just one visit. Instant veneers do offer some stain resistance but do not provide the same quality, durability, or appearance as porcelain veneers.
