If you’re in New York, NY and decide porcelain veneers are the right choice for you, the process will consist of two separate appointments. First, you’ll come in for an initial consultation for your veneers, a small amount of your natural tooth enamel will be removed, and we’ll get an impression of the teeth you’re interested in altering. We’ll provide you with temporaries while you’re waiting for the finished porcelain veneers, so you don’t experience any disruption to your daily life, and you can get familiar with the feeling of veneers. Once your final porcelain veneers are ready, you’ll return so we can fit them snugly into place over your natural teeth, creating a brand-new, revitalized look we know you’ll love.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many appointments does the veneers process require?
Getting veneers typically takes two visits. The first involves your consultation, preparing the tooth, and taking an impression. The second is when your finished porcelain veneers are fitted into place.
Will getting veneers require removing a lot of my natural tooth?
No. Only a small amount of natural tooth enamel needs to be removed to make room for your veneers, helping preserve your healthy tooth structure.
What cosmetic issues can veneers correct?
Veneers can address a wide range of concerns, including crooked or misshapen teeth, severe discoloration, uneven spacing, and teeth that are chipped, worn, too small, or too large.
Do I need temporary veneers while I wait?
Yes. You'll be given temporary veneers while your final restorations are crafted, so there's no disruption to your daily life in the meantime.
Can veneers fix crooked teeth without braces?
In many cases, yes. Veneers can create the appearance of straighter, more uniform teeth without the time commitment of orthodontic treatment.
How do I care for my veneers once they're placed?
Veneers are cared for much like natural teeth, with regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits. Proper care can help them last well beyond their typical lifespan.
