Dental Veneers New York
What are veneers?
They are thin porcelain shells that are custom made to cover the fronts of your teeth. Dr. Pandich in Midtown Manhattan recommends them to address a number of different dental issues, including:
- Spacing issues like gaps and overlapping
- Severe discoloration
- Crooked teeth
- Unevenly shaped or sized teeth
- Small cracks and chips
They can be made of either porcelain or composite resin, both of which result in a beautiful smile.
What is the process for getting dental veneers?
Many patients seek ones made out of composite resin because Dr. Pandich can apply them in just one or two appointments. Dr. Pandich begins the process by carefully removing a thin layer of your enamel to prepare the surface of your tooth.
Next, if you’re having yours made out of resin, she applies the composite material, sculpting and shaping it as she places it on your teeth for a truly custom-crafted treatment. This process requires a great deal of skill and artistry, but the end result is a customized smile that is permanently bonded into position.
If you opt for porcelain veneers in Manhattan, Dr. Pandich takes molds of your teeth and sends them to a dental lab, where they are custom-made to fit your teeth precisely. She applies a temporary veneer while your permanent ones are made. Then, you have a second appointment for Dr. Pandich to bond your permanent veneers to your teeth with special dental cement.
How do I take care of my veneers?
They don’t require special maintenance, you simply brush twice a day and floss at least once a day. With proper care and regular dental check-ups, both porcelain and resin can last for many years.
While those made out of resin are more affordable than porcelain ones in New York, the resin isn’t as durable as porcelain. While it does last for several years, it can wear away over time and you might need to have periodic maintenance and replacements. Porcelain ones, on the other hand, can last for 10 years or more before you might need replacements.
