Almost everyone you speak with would love to have a perfectly aligned, bright and healthy looking smile. Even when your teeth and gums are in the best of health, your smile may not be as uniform or as appealing as you would like. This is why Dr. Gohard and our dedicated team at A Healthy Smile Dentistry in Florham Park, NY offer porcelain veneers as a part of our cosmetic dentistry services.
What are dental veneers? They are just as they sound – a veneer is often an overlay or surface treatment and porcelain veneers are exactly that. They are custom made shells of extremely strong porcelain. They are specifically designed for your teeth and to meet your needs. For example, you may have teeth that are not responding well to whitening and remain thoroughly stained. Veneers can be used to address this issue.
However, they are not only a tool of cosmetic dentistry because they are so strong as to be quite functional too. They can be used to cover overly large gaps between your teeth. They can make your teeth all an even length and they can even be used for smiles that are slightly misaligned or crooked. They can cover damaged, cracked or broken teeth as part of a dental restoration – allowing a tooth to be fully restored and workable.
In many instances, dental veneers are a very fast solution that can be counted on to transform a smile in just two office visits. The way it is done is very simple. Our team will assess your smile and then Dr. Gohard makes molds of the teeth to be treated. These molds are sent to a lab where the veneers are custom made to match the shape, color and size of your teeth, and to address the issue being corrected.
When they are sent back to our offices, we have you come in for the placement of your porcelain veneers. Dr. Gohard prepares your teeth, bonds the new veneers to them in perfect alignment with your gums and then secures them into place.
Veneers are a wonderful solution to many dental issues. They can be used for cosmetic dentistry but also for restorative work too.
