Dental veneers are restorations used in cosmetic dentistry that are great for chipped, broken, stained, or gapped teeth. These teeth can cause patients to feel embarrassed or self-conscious about how they look when smiling and talking with others. Fortunately, with thin facings like veneers, patients can cover these imperfections and improve their smile’s appearance while at the same time improving self-confidence. These restorations are extremely popular at Dental Art Concepts in Staten Island, New York, and there are many reasons why patients ask Dr. Matthew Scaffa and his team about porcelain veneers.
- Customized and natural-looking results. Our quality porcelain veneers are custom-made to fit each individual’s teeth, making them look natural and seamless. They can be designed to match the exact shape, size, and color of your existing teeth, providing a more harmonious and aesthetically pleasing smile.
- Long-lasting solution. Porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or even longer with proper care and home maintenance. This makes them a durable and reliable solution for restoring your smile.
- Stain resistance. Unlike natural teeth, which can become discolored over time from food and drinks like coffee and red wine, porcelain veneers are stain-resistant. This means you can always enjoy your favorite foods and beverages without worrying about discoloration.
- Versatile solution. Porcelain veneers are used to fix a wide range of cosmetic issues, including gaps, chips, cracks, and misaligned or uneven teeth. This makes them a versatile solution for patients looking to improve the appearance of their smile.
- Minimal and sometimes prep-less option. In some cases, porcelain veneers can be placed with minimal tooth preparation or even no preparation at all, preserving the natural structure of your teeth. This is a great option for those who want to avoid more invasive procedures like crowns or braces.
- Quick results. Unlike other cosmetic treatments that may take several months to see results, porcelain veneers can transform your smile in just a few appointments. This makes them a popular choice for patients who want to improve their appearance quickly.
- Boosts confidence and self-esteem. The most important reason patients choose porcelain veneers is the boost in personal confidence and self-esteem they provide. A beautiful smile can make you feel more confident and comfortable in common social situations, leading to a happier and more fulfilling life.
