Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are thin porcelain shells that are placed over your natural teeth. These veneers allow you to transform your smile by reshaping and recoloring your teeth. Veneers can be used to fix issues like cracked teeth, spaces, misaligned teeth, chipped teeth, or discolored teeth. If you are interested in improving your smile, contact Dr. Joesph S. Dallessandro, D.D.S., located in New York, NY. Dr. Joseph S. Dallessandro, D.D.S. and Dr. Jiah Choi, D.D.S. are happy to help with any and all cosmetic dentistry.


 


Dental veneers take two to three appointments to complete. At your first appointment, you will meet with either Dr. Dallessandro or Dr. Choi to discuss your cosmetic goals. It is often recommended that you do some research before your appointment to get a better understanding of what you want your smile to look like. There are two major choices to be made in terms of your veneers: shape and color. For shape, both rounded and square are available. Many patients believe that rounded veneers are for women, while square veneers are for men. This is not at all true, and both shapes are available regardless of gender. For color, shades range from natural to Hollywood levels of brightness.


 


Once the decisions on the appearance have been made, the next part of the process begins. We will first clean your teeth in preparation for the veneers. The next step is to take an impression or mold of your teeth. This impression will be sent to a dental laboratory to create your custom veneers. This process takes between 10-14 days. In the meantime, you will be given temporary veneers to wear. At your final appointment, we will bond the permanent veneers to your teeth.
