Veneers

What are veneers?

Treatment with veneers and laminates at the Greenwich Village dental clinic of Dental House gives your teeth a clean, bright, natural-looking appearance. In fact, the procedures can produce the same aesthetic benefits you would expect from orthodontic treatment, but at less cost.

Teeth that are stained, uneven, chipped, or appear too small can be transformed with veneers and laminates. Thin, wafer-like porcelain is used to cover the outer, visible surface of your teeth.

Veneers and laminates are custom-crafted to fit each tooth’s unique shape. Your tooth function and appearance are improved and restored following treatment.

What can I expect with veneer and laminate application?

A series of in-office appointments assure that your veneers and laminates deliver the aesthetic and functional results you want.

At the first appointment, the team at Dental House takes the opportunity to evaluate your smile, discuss your appearance goals, and review the details of your veneer or laminate procedure. The doctor takes impressions to guide the customization of your veneers or laminates by our selected lab technician.

A second appointment is scheduled to minimally prepare your teeth and apply the model used to design your veneers or laminates. It’s the perfect opportunity for you to actually see how your new teeth will look, as you can view a mockup of your future smile. The dentist and technician also prep your teeth, take an impression, and fit you with temporary veneers or laminates before you depart.

At the third appointment, the dentist obtains your final impressions and applies any additional shaping to your teeth. If you don’t already have temporaries, you leave your appointment with temporary veneers or laminates to get a feel for what your new smile will look like.

At the fourth appointment, your new veneers or laminates are placed. The dentists at Dental House evaluate them for fit and make sure they’re aesthetically what you want.

What follow-up is required after the placement of veneers or laminates?

A fifth appointment serves as an opportunity for the dentists to observe how your tissue is healing. Final adjustments to the fit and look of your veneers or laminates can be made as well. Then you can smile for the camera to obtain final images.
