One of the reasons dental patients may drag their feet about pursuing cosmetic dentistry is that they’re concerned the result will look fake. Everyone has seen someone with bad fake teeth. Who can blame you for wanting to avoid the same result? Modern porcelain veneers from an experienced Midtown Manhattan cosmetic dentist will give you natural-looking teeth, if there are several important elements in place.
Yes, your porcelain veneers will look natural if you have:
- The best material. Veneers should be created using thin, handcrafted, high-quality porcelain. Anything less than the best and you risk your teeth looking thick, horsey, and unnatural.
- Careful customization. Cookie-cutter veneers are never acceptable. The veneers you receive from your NYC cosmetic dentist should be customized to flatter you in all ways, taking into consideration everything from your skin tone to the color of your natural teeth, bone structure to face symmetry. Your new smile should shine, but do so naturally.
- The right size. An essential part of the customization of veneers, and one of the biggest elements that makes veneers look either real or fake, is sizing. In fact, one of the reasons people often pursue veneers is to lengthen their short teeth. The last thing you want are veneers that are too long or all the same shape and size. Your new smile should include veneers that mimic the placement and sizing of natural teeth. No chiclets, all proportionate.
- Precise placement. Along with the appearance of veneers, the way the porcelain is put in place matters significantly to the overall result. The bonding should be done seamlessly and meticulously so there is no doubt that the teeth you are sporting are “natural.” People will assume you hit the DNA jackpot when it comes to teeth.
- A cosmetic dentist who is focused on beauty and function. Artistry is an essential component of the application of porcelain veneers. Any dentist can prep your teeth for veneers, size you up, and bond them in place. However, only an experienced dentist can create a customized smile that is right for you in size, shape, length, and color. The cosmetic dentist you want is a professional who settles for nothing less than perfection so you can have your perfect smile.
Ultimately, you want your porcelain veneers to give you a gorgeous smile, but you don’t want your teeth to stand out in any other way than to make you look like the best version of yourself.
Are Porcelain Veneers Right for You?
Though not every patient is the best candidate for porcelain veneers, if you have good oral health and want to make your teeth look better, most of the time this cosmetic dentistry treatment is an ideal way to revamp your smile.
People who have multiple complaints about the appearance of their teeth will find veneers a versatile aesthetic solution. Veneers can hide chips, stains, gaps, wear, and unevenness. Instead of multiple cosmetic and restorative dentistry treatments, veneers can be your one-and-done solution that will last for decades and pay dividends on your investment.
