Dental veneers are tooth-colored shells that fit over the front part of your teeth to improve their strength and appearance. Veneers look and feel just like natural teeth. They improve the appearance of teeth that are:
- Cracked
- Chipped
- Discolored
- Misshapen
- Imperfect
- Gapped
- Too small
- Worn down
- Uneven
Veneers make your teeth look whiter, even-shaped, and natural-looking. The process of getting veneers is simple and painless, but can dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth and smile.
Are veneers right for me?
To find out if veneers are right for you, Dr. Chaudhry reviews your oral health history and examines your teeth and gums. She takes digital X-rays using the Dexis system and discusses your desired outcome. Dr. Chaudhry can personalize a cosmetic dental treatment that best matches your needs.
If you have severe tooth decay or gum disease, Dr. Chaudhry can treat these conditions prior to veneer placement. If you’re missing permanent teeth, she may recommend dental implants with natural-looking crowns or dental bridges, rather than veneers.
What happens when getting veneers?
To create custom-fit veneers, Dr. Chaudhry removes a small portion of the outside of your teeth (tooth enamel) and digitally scans the teeth. During restorative procedures, she might use the Isolite intraoral isolation system that offers LED illumination, retraction, and aspiration all in one device.
A dental lab creates veneers that fit perfectly over the front of your natural teeth. When the new veneers are ready, she ensures they fit properly and securely bonds them to your teeth. There’s no downtime after your procedure.
How should I care for my new veneers?
To properly care for your new dental veneers, brush your teeth at least twice daily using fluoride toothpaste. Floss every day and don’t chew on ice, hard candy, or other hard objects. Eat a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables but low in added sugar.
Avoid opening packages with your teeth and wear a mouthguard if you grind your teeth at night or play contact sports. See the Ardsley Dental Spa team every six months for routine cleanings and dental exams. Call the office right away if your veneers get damaged.
