Manhattan Dental Arts

Porcelain Veneers in NYC

When you think your smile cannot be fixed, the solution may be porcelain veneers. NYC dental offices use this treatment often to fill in gaps, cover up stains, and hide chips in the tooth. The practitioners at Manhattan Dental Arts can determine in one visit whether this treatment will help you, so get an appointment as soon as possible.

We are committed to using only the best dental products, which is why we encourage patients to use porcelain veneers, as they tend to be more durable than bonding veneers. Our porcelain veneers:

• Are custom-made to fit your teeth
• Rarely stain over time, allowing them to stay white
• Last for at least 5 years

We offer this treatment option to patients because it is often the best way to cover several imperfections without resorting to crowns, dental implants, and other more expensive products. Before you commit to this treatment, we will go over its benefits and drawbacks, as well as your other options.

Though two appointments are usually needed for this option, as the lab needs time to customize the device, most patients are happy with the results of their porcelain veneers. NYC is a great place to be when you need to transform your smile, and Manhattan Dental Arts has many options. Call today for your consultation.

 

FAQ’s about Porcelain Veneers:

What is the difference between resin (bonding veneers) and porcelain veneers?
Bonding veneers are composed of a resin which is not as durable as the lab processed porcelain veneers and because they are a resin, they do tend to stain/ darken over time. Porcelain veneers are lab processed and are custom made to fit perfectly over the existing tooth. Both procedures require some reduction of the enamel to make room for the veneer or bonding. The porcelain veneers require two visits since lab work is involved; whereas the resin veneers may be performed in one visit.

Do porcelain veneers last longer than the resin veneers?
Yes, porcelain veneers are much stronger than the resin veneers and have a lifespan comparable to crowns, which is usually 5-10 years and in many cases longer.

Can I change the color or shape of my teeth with veneers?
Yes, veneers can be made to perfect the shape and color of teeth.
