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.

Dental Veneers for a Brand-New Smile

Having a radiant and beaming smile is, well, something to smile about! From minor imperfections to major aesthetic issues, dental veneers can offer that brilliant smile you desire! Dr. Joseph S Dallessandro, DDS offers dental veneers to his patients in our New York, NY dental practice!


Veneers are a great solution for patients with gaps, misaligned teeth, misshapen teeth, discolored teeth, cracks, and more. Without any major dental work, veneers are bonded to the front of your existing teeth. They create the look of a completely transformed smile.


To begin the process of creating your new smile, Dr. Dallessandro will prepare your teeth. He will take a very small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth. This amount of enamel equates the thickness of the veneer that will replace it. When the teeth are fully prepared, Dr. Dallessandro will take impressions of them to be sent to a laboratory. The laboratory will create completely customized veneers. During the creation process, you will wear a set of temporary veneers to protect your teeth. When the custom veneers are ready, they are bonded to the front of your teeth. With good care, veneers are able to last for up to ten years. Taking good care means brushing and flossing as you normally would, but it requires no special care. Also remember to visit your dentist for routine cleanings and examinations.


Veneers can take a smile you are insecure about and transform it so you have nothing but confidence! To schedule an appointment with Dr. Joseph S Dallessandro, DDS in our New York, NY office, call us at (212) 988-1089 or visit our website, www.josephdallessandrodds.com
