Veneers Q & A
What are veneers?
Veneers help re-create the appearance of your natural teeth with a thin layer of porcelain. One of the experienced cosmetic dentists at Coxsackie Dental Arts custom-fits each veneer to the individual teeth in your mouth, then bonds the veneers to your existing teeth. Veneers correct imperfections such as misshapen teeth, stains, cracks, or gaps. In addition, they help reinforce delicate teeth.
Although veneers can be made out of resin composite materials, porcelain is the most stain-resistant material. Porcelain also tends to match your natural enamel better. One of the dental team members reviews your options and helps you select the best type of veneers for your needs.
What is the procedure for getting veneers?
Following the initial consultation to review your desired results and the kind of veneers that are best for you, you return for a follow-up appointment. Here, a skilled cosmetic dental specialist readies your current teeth for the shape of the veneers by scraping off a minimal amount of enamel from the surface. Once your teeth are prepped, your dental specialist makes an impression of your teeth so the dental lab can create custom veneers that are an exact fit for your mouth.
When your veneers are finished, you return to the office, and your veneers are fitted one by one over your existing teeth. After cleaning and etching the surface of your teeth to prepare them for the bonding process, the dental expert applies a special cement and light source that causes the adhesive to bond securely to the porcelain. In a relatively short amount of time, your veneers are permanently in place, and you have a new and improved smile.
What are some advantages of veneers?

Stain resistance
-
Well-tolerated by your gums
-
Ability to lighten darker teeth, so they appear whiter
