Your smile is your window to the world, and so why not make it the best it can be? With dental veneers, you can restore your smile to its brilliant best in next to no time and gain all the additional confidence that comes along with it. And here at Tenafly Dental Associates, our dental veneers are one of our most highly sought-after cosmetic procedures.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin shells that are attached to your existing teeth to improve your mouth’s overall appearance and provide additional strength and protection where needed. Typically they are made out of porcelain, and they give you a completely natural look that means that people won’t be able to tell the difference between them and your normal teeth.
Veneers tend to be semi-permanent, lasting over a decade – but not forever. And as with all dental work, the better you look after them, the longer they will last. This makes them a great option for anyone looking to upgrade the cosmetics of their teeth in a non-invasive way.
There are several reasons why dental veneers are such a highly sought-after dental procedure, and here are just a few of them:
- Corrects misaligned teeth. If your teeth are slightly misaligned, you can use veneers to correct that without unnecessary corrective action on your existing teeth. This creates a more symmetrical and balanced smile that will make a big difference in the overall aesthetics of your mouth.
- Covers stains. Sometimes, life happens, and your teeth can be stained for one reason or another. This can make people quite self-conscious, but with veneers, you can let go of that feeling once and for all. Dental veneers will cover the stained teeth and give a great artificial alternative that doesn’t stain – giving you that beautiful smile you deserve.
- Protects broken teeth. Perhaps you have a tooth that is broken or particularly weak. In these cases, a veneer can be a great support structure that doesn’t require invasive surgery to remove the old tooth. Plus, it crafts a brand new aesthetic appeal that’s worth its weight in gold.
- Closes gaps. Veneers are also a great way to close any gaps in your smile which can give you an instant confidence boost and complete that smile of your dreams. You won’t realize how much of a difference this makes until you see the final result.
- Stays the same color. Excitingly, your veneers will remain the same pearly white color throughout their life – meaning that you never have to worry about the color being lost over time.
If this sounds like something that you could benefit from, then Tenafly Dental Associates is here to help you. We have our team ready and waiting to help you achieve that perfect smile through some world-class veneers that just might change your life.
How Does the Process Work?
One of the best things about dental veneers is that they don’t require any surgery in order to have them fitted. On the first appointment here at Tenafly Dental Associates, we’ll assess your situation and get a better understanding of what you’re looking for. This initial consultation will help us to plan and measure for whatever veneers you might want to get. Once we have all that information, we’ll have those veneers specially made for you, so they fit perfectly and achieve the desired aesthetic outcome.
Then, in your second session, we’ll grind down your teeth a little bit to provide some rough surface for the veneers to adhere to, and then they can be fitted. It doesn’t take too long and before you know it, you’ll have your veneers locked and loaded. From there, you can walk out of our office with your brand new smile, ready to take on the world. It’s that easy!
From there, you just need to take good care of them to maximize their useful life. Avoid putting unnecessary strain on them by chewing excessively hard objects, continue to utilize regular dentist appointments, and you’ll find that they can serve a great purpose for you for years to come.
Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are a very powerful procedure, but you want to make sure that it’s the right fit for your specific circumstances – as compared to other cosmetic improvements that are available. As such, we typically expect the following to be a good indicator that veneers are a good option:
- Your bite is more or less aligned.
- You don’t clench or grind your teeth (especially during sleep).
- Your teeth, gums, and tooth enamel are in good health.
- You’re committed to looking after your veneers as best you can.
- You’re looking for an instant cosmetic lift to give you extra self-confidence.
If these resonate with you then there’s a good chance that veneers are for you. If you’d like to find out more, be sure to contact us and we’ll advise you as to whether this is a good choice for you.
