Porcelain Veneers
Is Your Smile Letting You Down?
Porcelain veneers are a beautiful, natural-looking solution that can transform your appearance, leaving you with a smile to feel confident about.
Your smile is one of your most prominent features. When you’re happy with the way it looks, you have the confidence to interact easily with friends and business associates. But if you conceal your smile because of cosmetic flaws, others may unfairly see you as being unfriendly or unapproachable.
Instead of living with a smile you don’t love, why not consider porcelain veneers to address the areas that bother you? Our Midland Park dentists, Dr. Misato Fukuda and Dr. James Venuti, take pride in the results they achieve with porcelain veneers.
If you want to transform your smile and design a new look that’s all your own, you can do it with the help of veneers. To speak with a caring member of our dental team about this excellent service, please call us today at (201) 444-5675!
What Porcelain Veneers Can Do For Your Teeth
A veneer is a thin shell of porcelain that we bond to the front surface of your teeth that shows when you smile. Since it covers your existing tooth, a veneer conceals the imperfections beneath it to create a more attractive appearance.
Porcelain veneers cover up natural teeth and highlight a new and improved version of your smile. When you choose to get dental veneers, you hide flaws within your smile and instead show the world a polished appearance.
You can think of porcelain veneers as a type of permanent makeup or mask for your teeth. Men and women of all different ages choose to fix their smiles with porcelain veneers in Midland Park.
Yes, veneers are great if you want the perfect “Hollywood” makeover, but you don’t necessarily need a full set to achieve your best smile. We can often place one or two veneers to restore the harmony and balance of your smile.
Some of the problems we can address with porcelain veneers are:
Poorly positioned teeth
Jagged or sharp teeth
Teeth that appear too small
Irregularly shaped teeth
Chipped or broken teeth
Slightly misaligned teeth
Uneven gaps and spacing between teeth
Stained teeth that won’t respond to dental bleaching treatments
You might be surprised to discover just how much dental veneers can change your smile. If you want to know more about veneers and our cosmetic dentistry in Midland Park, feel free to contact our knowledgeable dentists by calling (201) 444-5675.
Benefits of Dental Veneers
Whenever you see someone with “perfect” teeth, the odds are that they weren’t born that way. While a lucky few do seem to have naturally flawless smiles thanks to good genetics, most people rely on a little help from modern cosmetic dentistry.
Across the country, and even across the world, people enlist porcelain dental veneers to change the way their smiles look. Veneers are versatile, which means we can use them for something as simple as fixing one problem tooth or as dramatic as changing your entire smile. With cosmetic dentistry, your imagination is usually the limit.
At Ohana Dental, we believe there are many different advantages to including porcelain veneers in your treatment plan. If a more stunning smile is what you seek, then veneers will help you get there.
Some of the best anatomical benefits of porcelain veneers include:
You can customize the shade of your veneers to make them whiter and brighter than your natural teeth would be
Veneers look natural and can blend in if you choose only to change individual teeth
You get to keep your tooth roots, which are vital to your oral health, and the majority of each natural tooth while still improving the outward appearance of your teeth
Veneers are low-maintenance and can last for years with basic care like brushing, flossing, and visiting your Midland Park dentist every six months
Gum tissue typically responds very well to porcelain, meaning your mouth shouldn’t be irritated by the artificial material
In addition to these dental benefits, however, porcelain veneers also offer more indirect advantages, such as:
Increased confidence in your appearance
Higher likelihood of smiling, making you appear friendlier and more approachable
An incentive to prioritize your oral health and hygiene so you can maintain your veneers
How We Customize Your Veneers in the 07432 Area
The procedure for placing your veneers takes place over two or three visits with our Bergen County dentists.
During your first dental appointment, we first consult with you to design the perfect shape and shade for your new veneers. We always want to make sure that your veneers are beautiful while still being imperfect enough that they look like real teeth. The idea is to create natural, believable improvements while staying true to the integrity of your smile.
At your next visit, we remove a thin layer of dental enamel from each tooth that will receive a veneer. This is necessary so that each veneer will blend seamlessly with your existing teeth rather than making your teeth look bulky or thick.
We take comfortable digital impressions of your teeth (no messy paste!) to create a model that we send to a custom dental lab where skilled technicians customize your veneers. You will leave our dental office with temporary veneers to wear for the next week or two.
When your Midland Park veneers come back from the lab, you will typically return to us for a third visit so we can adjust their fit and cement them to your teeth. With proper care, your veneers can last as long as ten years before needing to be replaced or repaired.
Our goal is to make your treatment as stress-free and straightforward as we can. Because porcelain veneers are delicate and require precision, placing them will take some time—but the result is a sparkling, dazzling smile that will transform the way you look.
Direct Composite Veneers
If you aren’t interested in porcelain veneers or if you’re working on a tighter budget, another treatment option is composite veneers that we can complete in one day.
With these veneers, instead of a porcelain shell, we use tooth-colored filling material that closely resembles dental enamel. Our doctors build the material up in layers on your tooth to achieve the desired results, and we can often place several composite veneers in just one visit to our dental office.
Unlike with porcelain veneers, we don’t have to remove as much tooth structure to place direct composite veneers. While this method is more affordable than lab-fabricated veneers, you will need to replace your composite veneers about every five years, on average.
