Brooklyn Cosmetic Dentist Offers Porcelain Veneers For Locals

By April Madrid


If you want whiter or more even teeth, consult a Brooklyn dentist to help you achieve a dazzling, perfect smile. Apart from improving the brightness of your teeth, cosmetic dentistry has a number of other applications. Chipped or discolored teeth can be improved. It is also possible to enhance a row of crooked teeth.

One way of improving the appearance of your teeth is to have porcelain veneers fitted. Another name for these is dental porcelain laminates. These thin shells are attached to the face of the teeth. There are a number of advantages to having these fitted. The visual effect is similar to having crowns but the process is less expensive. Gaps between the teeth can be minimized and crooked teeth made to appear straight and even.

The first veneers appeared in California and were made of a composite material. They didn't stay in place long and were popular with Hollywood actors as a means of changing a person's appearance for a short period. Around the mid 1980s, trials using porcelain began. Today, veneers can be expected to last between ten and thirty years. Once in place, there is no need for visits to your dental surgery other than for your normal regular checks. There are no braces to wear.

Veneers may be made of a composite material instead of porcelain. However they do not last as long. They are also more subject to staining. The shells are slightly thicker. Another advantage of porcelain is that it looks more natural.

Your Brooklyn dentist will explain the procedure fully. If it is decided that the procedure will suit your needs, your teeth may be X-rayed and impressions taken. The shells are then made by a dental technician before being fitted.

On your final visit, minor adjustments may be made. The color and shape will be given close attention to ensure you are satisfied with the effect. If you would like a new smile, you should consult a Brooklyn dentist.
