What Can I Expect from a Smile Makeover with Porcelain Veneers?
If you secretly admire your friends’ beautiful smiles, it’s time to get one of your own with porcelain veneers. Your Hoboken, New Jersey, dentists, Drs. Bari Posner and Anum Ali from Dental Associates of Hoboken make dream smiles come true with veneers. Naturally, you have questions about this treatment. You’ll find all the answers you need here.
What are veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain coverings for your teeth. They’re designed to hide defects in your teeth that detract from your smile’s appearance. These could be anything from chipped and stained teeth to slightly crooked teeth that throw your smile off balance. Veneers are bonded to flawed teeth permanently to make your smile more aesthetically pleasing. Â
What can I expect from a smile makeover with veneers?
Porcelain veneers can give your smile a new appearance by addressing problems with chipped, stained, gapped, or misshapen teeth. In place of flawed teeth, you’ll have pearly whites that are straight, uniform, and radiant! As veneers are placed on existing teeth, the first step is deciding which teeth you’d like to fix, as this will determine how many veneers you’ll need. We’ll then prep these teeth by reducing a thin layer of enamel to make space for your veneers. Your porcelain restorations will be custom-made from digital impressions of your teeth to ensure a natural appearance and perfect fit. As veneers can correct multiple problems simultaneously, a smile makeover with veneers may be all you need to perfect your grin. Â
What cosmetic issues can porcelain veneers address?
Veneers can repair chips and cracks on front teeth, hide tooth stains, close small gaps between teeth, widen thin teeth, lengthen short teeth, and reshape irregular teeth to give your smile a uniform appearance.
How long do veneers last?
That depends on how well you care for your teeth. With good oral care, porcelain veneers have been known to last ten or more years.

How do I care for veneers?
Veneers’ aftercare is essential to keeping your restorations looking their best long-term. Fortunately, caring for veneers is simple, as they’re brushed and flossed just like the rest of your teeth. You’ll also need to visit your Hoboken dentist at least every six months for checkups and cleanings. Watch what you eat after getting veneers; hard foods can chip or crack your restorations prematurely. Bad habits of chewing on ice, biting your nails, and using your teeth as tools must also cease.
Does it hurt to get veneers?
No. We’ll do all we can to keep you comfortable throughout your procedure. If necessary, we can numb your mouth for this treatment to avoid pain, discomfort, or sensitivity.
