Why Veneers Are Your Answer to a Celebrity Smile

There’s a reason why a Hollywood-bright smile stands out, and the secret is dental veneers. Thin, custom-made chips of porcelain or composite resin, veneers can create a smile that’s as bright as you want it, or you can balance individual teeth to match their neighbors. 

At New York Dental Health, with seven locations in the Bronx and New York City, we’ve delivered thousands of smile upgrades to our patients. Here’s why veneers are your answer to a celebrity smile. 

Dental veneer basics

Only a handful of your teeth face the world, creating the first impression that is your smile. While the bright white Hollywood smile is the standard that many strive to attain through cleaning and whitening procedures, the fact remains that natural teeth are generally on the yellow side of pure white. 

While our dental office whitening solutions can make dramatic improvements, your results may be limited by the original shade of your tooth enamel. For the brightest and most predictable results, a thin cap of tooth-like material covering the forward-facing surfaces of your teeth does the job to your specifications. 

Preparing

In most cases, veneers are a two-stage process. First, we remove a thin layer of natural tooth enamel to make room for the veneer. 

Then, we take impressions of your teeth and provide these to a dental lab, where your veneers are produced to exacting standards of precision. We can match veneers to blend in with your natural smile, or we can turn the brightness up to 11 if you’re after Hollywood-level whiteness. 

When your veneers return from the lab, we permanently bond them in place, and you’re ready to flash that new smile to the world. 

Beyond appearance

While veneers can dramatically alter your appearance on brightness alone, they’re also the choice to iron out some other mild-to-moderate flaws in your smile. Look to dental veneers to repair or stabilize problems like: 

• Chips
• Cracks
• Worn teeth
• Gaps
• Minor alignment adjustments
• Changes to the shape or proportion of your teeth

Bonding a dental veneer to a compromised tooth adds strength and resilience as well as flawless appearance. Veneers are long-lasting and require the same care as your natural teeth, including brushing twice and flossing once a day along with your usual biannual dentist visits.
