Porcelain Dental Veneers in New York City, NY

Once you've developed your personalized treatment plan, we will take digital dental impressions. Your impressions will be sent to a dental lab where your custom veneers will be crafted from high-quality porcelain. When your veneers are ready, we will have you in for a second appointment. During this appointment, we will take off a little bit of enamel from the front of your teeth. This both creates room for the porcelain veneers and improves the bond for a more natural outcome that lasts longer. Once your veneers are bonded, we can make small adjustments so that your veneers are comfortable.

Since getting veneers typically does not require anesthesia, you should be able to get back to your daily tasks after your appointment. You might experience some sensitivity to cold and hot food or drinks for a couple of days, but that should fade away. Veneers should be cleaned like your own natural teeth with daily brushing and flossing. While porcelain veneers are stain resistant compared to your natural enamel, you still need to stay away from staining food and drinks to keep your veneers bright. To prevent chipping your veneers, you shouldn't chew on hard objects, such as your fingernails or ice. Continue to schedule dental exams and cleanings at our Manhattan East Village office so we can track the condition of your porcelain veneers, teeth, gums, and general oral health. We will let you know if your cosmetic veneers need to be replaced or repaired.
