We offer porcelain veneers in Syracuse, NY which dramatically improve the natural aesthetics and function of your smile. They are durable and thin porcelain shell restorations that are bonded to damaged or stained teeth. For those interested, we created an overview of the procedure and outlined important information below.
Many people look into braces or crowns to fix similar issues, however, they provide the least intrusive option. Some of the reasons to use include:
According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, they are the preferred kind of porcelain veneers and typically last between 10 and 20 years.
First, Dr. DiMento and his team will clean and examine the tooth receiving the veneer to find the perfect shade and size. Then, they will remove a small part of the enamel to make room for the veneer. Next, the team will take an impression of the tooth and place a temporary veneer while the customized one is created.
Once your custom veneer is created, the team will remove the temporary one and clean the tooth again. Once it is ready, they will place the new, semi-permanent veneer in its place using adhesive. The team will use a light to quickly dry the adhesive and place the veneer. Once attached, Dr. DiMento will remove any excess material and polish the veneer.
After the procedure, you are allowed to eat once the anesthetic wears off. Be careful not to chew on your tongue or cheek in the meantime.
To get the most out of your veneers, we recommend you take good care of them. Little habits people find themselves doing day to day can wear down their teeth, and therefore their hardware. We have outlined some tips to make sure you are keeping up with the best care!
Furthermore, general dental hygiene practices will help elongate the life of your hardware.
The staff at Your Syracuse Family Dentist is highly experienced. Dr. DiMento has been practicing in our community since 1994 and is a member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. More importantly, the team is passionate about giving their patients the best treatment and care possible.
