Cosmetic Dentist New York – Benefits of Dental Veneers

Dental veneers improve the appearance of teeth. They are custom made shells of tooth-colored materials. By changing the color, shape, size and length of the shells, they are fixed to the front of teeth. Dental veneers are also known as porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates.

Dental veneers are made of materials from porcelain or resin.  Porcelain veneers gives the teeth a natural look. They are also more stain-resistant. Resin veneers are thinner and require removal of less of the tooth surface before placement.

Benefits of Dental Veneers

• Size and Shape: Some people may have broken, worn down or chipped teeth. Veneers can be shaped and sized any way patients feel is best for their face.
• Color of Teeth: Teeth become discolored either due to age, stains, medications or other procedure like filling or root canals. Veneers can restore tooth color.
• Alignment and Spacing: Veneers help to fill small gaps between teeth.
