Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are one of the most common procedures in cosmetic dentistry today. A range of aesthetic dental issues can be resolved and picturesque smile makeovers can be accomplished using porcelain dental veneers. These thin, durable ceramic overlays can hide the appearance of chips, gaps, and stains, and they can even correct areas of teeth misalignment. These custom-made dental veneers are designed for the most precise fit possible, and they look like your natural teeth. Plus, they can last for decades!
Please contact Dr. Victor Oelbaum and Associates for more information on porcelain dental veneers at our Bronx and New York City-area practice.
How Porcelain Dental Veneers can Help
Even the most rigorous brushing and flossing routine sometimes can’t stop the normal wear and tear that can affect our teeth over time. Certain foods and beverages, the natural aging process, and dental injuries can cause both functional and aesthetic conditions such as:
- Stains and discoloration from wine and/or coffee-drinking
- Tobacco use
- Chips
- Cracks
- Gaps
- Misalignment
Porcelain dental veneers can better the health of your teeth in addition to masking surface imperfections with results that look both natural and beautiful.
The Porcelain Dental Veneers Procedure
Composed of a strong ceramic material, porcelain dental veneers are thin coverings custom-designed to fit over the affected areas of your teeth. They require little removal of the original tooth. After Dr. Oelbaum makes an initial impression of your teeth, he will have your new veneer created to provide the best fit possible. Once the new veneer has been made, Dr. Oelbaum will place it onto the teeth with a durable cement, and then have it color-tinted to match the surrounding teeth. The entire treatment typically takes only two office visits.
One of the chief benefits of porcelain dental veneers is the length of results: in many cases, they last for decades. Plus, they look like your natural teeth! Dr. Victor Oelbaum and Associates can improve the appearance of your teeth and give you a beautiful new smile with porcelain dental veneers.
