Porcelain Veneers Cosmetic Dentistry Option In NJ

Porcelain veneers are a way to reshape or redefine your smile while treating multiple types of dental issues. This cosmetic dentistry solution may be preferred over other options, such as crowns, and the compassionate staff at Dentalcare Associates can help you understand whether veneers are the right way to go for you.

Reasons You Might Get Porcelain Veneers

Every mouth — and every dental patient — is unique. That's why we offer so many options for both general and cosmetic dentistry at Dentalcare Associates. Some common reasons people seek porcelain veneers include:

•             Crooked or misshapen teeth                                                                                            

•             Teeth that are oddly sized, such as being too large or small

•             Unwanted or uneven spaces between teeth

•             Chipped teeth

•             Teeth that have been worn down over time

•             Stained or discolored teeth, especially when the stains are severe

In some cases, veneers are sought simply to create a uniform, bright white smile.

What To Expect When Getting Porcelain Veneers

Veneers typically require two visits to the office, and the procedures are fairly painless. First, the dentist will lightly prepare the surface, shaping the tooth to allow space for the veneer. Then, a mold is taken of the shape of the tooth or area where veneers will be placed.

The dentist will discuss color options with you — you are able to choose from a variety of shades of white to obtain a natural look for your veneers and ensure they match the hue of other teeth in your mouth. This all occurs on the first visit.

On the second visit, the dental staff will clean your teeth to prepare them to be bonded with the veneer. The veneer is then applied with special dental bonding cement and is light cured to set the veneer in place.
