Many people dream of a movie-star smile. Back then, these brilliant smiles were typically reserved for people who could afford to pay top dollar for a million-dollar smile. But today, cosmetic dentistry options like porcelain veneers are much more accessible, even if you’re not a Hollywood A-lister. Dr. MitzAnn Edmond and the team at Elevation Dental Studio in Mount Vernon, New York, are here to help.
Ultra-thin, custom-made shells called porcelain veneers cover the front of your teeth. These porcelain covers for teeth are made in a specialized lab and then permanently bonded to your teeth. Because they’re customized just for you, they’ll match your natural teeth or give you a completely new shade and shape (if that’s what you want!).
Veneers can give you a dramatic smile transformation. Here are some issues veneers can fix:
To determine if veneers are right for you, you’ll need to meet with Dr. Edmond and discuss your goals. Generally, veneers are a great choice for anyone wanting to improve their smile, whether it’s the shape and color of their teeth or the size or alignment. If you have gum disease or tooth decay, we will need to address those before moving forward with veneers.
Some people experience tooth sensitivity just after getting veneers. But our team minimizes these risks with careful planning and precision.
Here’s how the veneers process works:
Your veneers should last 10 to 15 years. Proper care is key to extending their life.
Make sure you brush two times every day and floss after dinner. Also, regular dental check-ups with us are important. Try to avoid biting directly into very hard foods or objects like hard candy or even opening packages with your teeth.
