Well-known smiles often appear effortlessly balanced and camera-ready, and dental veneers play an important role in achieving that look. Veneers are also an option for patients seeking to enhance their own smile. At his New York City office, Nicholas Tsiolas, DDS, uses custom-crafted resin veneers to improve the size, shape, color, and length of teeth. Contact the office to schedule a consultation and learn whether veneers are right for you.
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin, durable coverings designed to fit over the front surface of the teeth. They are typically made from composite resin or porcelain—materials chosen for their strength and their ability to closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth.
Both composite resin and porcelain veneers offer distinct benefits. Composite resin veneers are often placed in a single visit, while porcelain veneers require additional time for fabrication. Porcelain veneers are more resistant to staining, whereas composite resin veneers are generally easier to repair. Dr. Tsiolas will review your options and recommend the most appropriate type of veneer for your needs.
The veneer process is typically completed in three stages:
Consultation and Planning
The first step involves discussing your goals for your smile. During your consultation, Dr. Tsiolas reviews what concerns you about your teeth and what changes you hope to achieve. After a comprehensive dental evaluation, he determines whether veneers are an appropriate option and develops a personalized treatment plan.
Preparation
Composite resin veneers generally require little to no preparation, as the material is applied directly to the teeth without altering the enamel.
For porcelain veneers, a small amount of enamel is removed to ensure a proper fit and natural appearance. Impressions are then taken to create your custom veneers. Temporary veneers may be placed while the final restorations are being made.
Placement and Bonding
Composite resin veneers are shaped and bonded directly to the teeth in a single visit, then cured and polished for a natural finish. Porcelain veneers are placed after temporary restorations are removed and secured once fit and appearance are approved. Maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding hard objects, and attending regular dental visits helps preserve long-term results.
