Masking cosmetic flaws to bring out the beautiful best in your smile with veneers

It is not an overstatement to say that veneers transform smiles. They are a hugely popular cosmetic dentistry service because these thin shells of dental ceramics (like porcelain) cover up   a variety of imperfections. When in the hands of our skilled dentist at Pure Dental Care in New York City, Dr. Nazia Ahmed, veneers may even be applied to reshape a jagged or poorly-contoured tooth or to add length to a worn-down or short tooth that detracts from the overall balance of your smile.

So many treatable cosmetic concerns!

Veneers are highly sought after due in part to their versatility. In addition to their reshaping and resizing prowess, veneers cover up and effectively make chipped teeth, small cracks, gaps, uneven spacing, and stubborn stains and discoloration disappear.

The process

If you are a good candidate for veneers, Dr. Ahmed will first discuss your goals and personal preferences. This information is used to prepare your veneers. The teeth themselves are also prepared, which involves ever-so-slightly reducing each tooth to accommodate the thickness of the veneer placed on top of it. Our office even uses ultra-thin LumineersĀ® to minimize the minimal amount of natural enamel removed from the teeth. Then, impressions or models of the teeth are made to guide the fabrication of your permanent veneers. Dr. Ahmed will secure each veneer during a second appointment after our talented lab partners have created your new and improved tooth restorations.

Are veneers in your future?

We encourage you to contact Pure Dental Care to find out! During a consultation, Dr. Ahmed examines your teeth and gums to determine if they are healthy enough for veneers or if you could benefit from restorative dentistry services like our durable and dazzling inlays, onlays, and crowns. We also assess for any risk factors that could threaten the ā€œlifespanā€ of your veneers. It is important to identify and resolve any damaging habits or behaviors; for instance, if bruxism or chronic teeth grinding is to blame for your developing chips and excessive wear and tear in the first place, letā€™s customize an oral appliance/nightguard to protect your veneers and the unaltered teeth in your smile.
