Veneers
If you have a smile that could use improvement, there are
plenty of ways to make sure you can smile with confidence and pride. At Alan
Pressman DMD, your dentist in Spring Valley, you can get premier care and
transform your smile using dental veneers. If you’re unsure of whether or not
veneers are right for you, let’s explore how they work and how they can improve
your appearance.
Dental Veneers – What
Are They?
Veneers are a great way to make sure your smile looks
precisely how you want it to. They have become very popular as a way to mask
imperfections in teeth, including any gaps, chips, or oddly shaped teeth. Your
dentist, Dr. Alan Pressman, can apply them in the office, but you will need to
make several visits to get veneers custom made and then applied.
A veneer is a thin covering for the tooth that is cemented
onto the surface to make it look beautiful and improve the appearance of your
mouth. There are two different kinds of veneers, known as composite resin
veneers and porcelain veneers.
Composite Veneers
Composite resin veneers are colored to match your natural
teeth. The material is then bonded onto the affected tooth, and in just one
dental visit, you can have an improved smile. They are more affordable than
porcelain veneers and are easy to fix, but they are also much easier to damage.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are durable and are customized for your
teeth. They last a long time and look just like your real teeth, blending in
perfectly with the rest of your smile. You won’t need to remove as much of your
enamel as with dental crowns, and the material is resistant to stains.
You can get dental veneers placed on any of your teeth by
visiting your Rockland County, Spring Valley Dentist Alan Pressman DMD. We can
assess your teeth and recommend solutions to transform the look of your smile.
As long as you are working with our team of talented dental professionals, you
can be sure that you will have a gorgeous smile that lasts for decades to come.
