Dental veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry option because they conceal a wide range of flaws and imperfections:

  • Gummy Smiles
  • Short Teeth
  • Small Gaps
  • Discolored Teeth
  • Shape Issues
  • General Flaws
  • Chips and Cracks

In the past, veneers were a Hollywood secret reserved for film stars, models, and professional athletes. Today, we offer celebrity-level porcelain veneers in Hamlin, NY.

Who Is Right for Dental Veneers?

If you take excellent care of your teeth and visit the dentist regularly, you’re likely a suitable candidate for veneers. However, lack of dental care does not rule you out for veneers.

To learn whether you’re a candidate, we have you come in for a consultation with our cosmetic dentist. At this visit, you’ll learn whether veneers suit your cosmetic goals and what to expect during and after treatment.

We also answer your questions and let you know how much veneers cost in Hamlin. Prices vary based on the number of veneers and whether you’ll need pretreatments to address underlying oral health issues.

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are custom shells of porcelain cemented to the forward-facing teeth. Your dentist etches the teeth you’d like to treat and removes a bit of enamel to ensure a flush and natural finish. This is not painful.

After treatment, you can enjoy your favorite meals and smile with confidence. There is no real recovery time. However, your mouth muscles may be a bit sore later in the evening due to holding open during veneer placement.

Dental Veneers Care and Upkeep

With veneers, it’s essential to adopt healthy habits, such as seeing your dentist for checkups every six months and brushing and flossing twice daily.

Never use your veneers (or teeth) as tools—for example, to twist off bottle caps.
