What Are Porcelain Veneers?

One quick method to enhance your smile and hide crooked, chipped, stained, or decayed teeth is using porcelain veneers at NowDental of Suffolk. Cosmetic veneers are thin shells created out of porcelain, which are bonded to the front of the teeth to enhance the overall look of your smile. Offering personalized and minimal-prep veneers to Suffolk County, Long Island, and Coram, NY patients, our team can help improve the color, size, length, or shape of teeth. Schedule an appointment at our Smithtown, NY office to find out more about porcelain veneers to decide if they're right for your needs.

Am I A Good Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?

Cosmetic veneers can be used to quickly hide chips and stains in your teeth, improve worn down or misaligned teeth, and fix teeth that are abnormally spaced or shaped. At NowDental of Suffolk, your porcelain veneers will be custom made to fit comfortably over your teeth for an appealing and natural look. During your consultation, we will listen to your goals and concerns so we can personalize your procedure. It's important that your mouth is in good general health in order for this procedure to be beneficial. You shouldn't have signs of periodontal disease or routinely clench your jaw and grind your teeth.

What Happens When Getting Porcelain Veneers?

When you have decided on your personalized treatment plan, someone from our team will take digital dental impressions. Your porcelain veneers may be produced in our office as you wait or the impressions could be sent to a dental lab where your custom veneers will be made from high-quality porcelain. As soon as your custom veneers are prepared, we will take off a little bit of enamel from your teeth. This allows space for the porcelain veneers and enhances the bond for a more natural outcome that lasts a long time. When your veneers are bonded, we can make minor adjustments so your veneers fit well.

What is Recovering from Porcelain Veneers Like?

Since getting cosmetic veneers usually does not require anesthesia, you should be able to continue your daily tasks after your appointment. You might experience some sensitivity to cold and hot food for a few days, but this should subside naturally. Your veneers should be cleaned like your own natural teeth with frequent brushing and flossing. While porcelain veneers are more resistant to stains compared to your natural enamel, you still need to avoid staining foods and drinks to keep your smile nice and bright. To prevent harming your veneers, you shouldn't chew on hard objects, such as ice or your fingernails. Continue to go to dental exams and cleanings at NowDental of Suffolk so that we can track the condition of your cosmetic veneers, natural teeth, and overall oral health. During these visits, we will let you know if your veneers will need to be replaced or repaired.

Does Insurance Cover Porcelain Veneers?

Veneers are a cosmetic treatment so they are typically not included in dental insurance. NowDental of Suffolk does take many payment options, such as medical financing, to make your treatment more affordable. At your consult, we will customize your treatment to meet your goals, as well as your budget. We will discuss a quote for your veneers and explore your payment choices.
