In the past, the only way to correct dental imperfections was to cover the entire tooth with a crown. Today, in most cases there are several alternatives: crowns, composite resin bonding or porcelain veneer or even cosmetic contouring or orthodontics. Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made porcelain laminates that are bonded directly to the teeth. They are an option for closing gaps or disguising discolored teeth that do not respond well to whitening procedures.

If you want to improve your smile, beautiful custom-made porcelain veneers (or crowns if needed) are the platinum standard that world-class cosmetic dentists use to create gorgeous smiles. Sometimes referred to as porcelain laminates, veneers are thin, custom-made moldings that cover the face of unsightly teeth.

You may have seen people with unnatural looking dental work that is easy to spot. Perhaps their teeth are white, opaque, and misshaped or maybe you've spotted the tell-tale signs of dark metal showing between the porcelain and the gum line. We want our patient’s smile to appear so naturally beautiful that people will only assume they were born with it. To get this type of result takes a combination of artisans - the cosmetic dentist and the master ceramist.

The first step in the fabrication of the veneers is for the cosmetic dentist to design them in conjunction with the patient’s desires. This is where artistry, science, training, and knowledge of materials merge. The NYC dentist must specify the shape, thickness, and colors. Natural teeth are not pure white, but rather have subtle colors - sometimes yellow, blue, pink - and these vary throughout each tooth. The cosmetic dentist must communicate the exact specifications for the ceramist to follow.

The most beautiful, realistic dental crowns and veneers are individually hand made by master ceramists. Each veneer or crown is crafted from special tooth-colored porcelain, then hand-painted before firing to create the most natural smile possible.

Veneers provide an alternative to traditional crowns. They eliminate unattractive gaps in the teeth and can mask stains, misshapen, or crooked teeth in just a few visits. Depending on the craftsmanship of the veneers as well as the quality of work done, veneers can last a long time. Unlike dental bonding, veneers will not change color or shape over time if cared for properly.Veneers are natural looking, and can actually improve the strength of your natural teeth because only a minimum amount of natural tooth is altered to fit the veneer. The veneer is also very secure, as it is tightly bonded to your natural tooth. Veneers are also stain resistant and can transform even the darkest teeth to a brilliant white.
