Dental Veneers

At Mina Farid DMD, we believe that everyone deserves to feel confident about their smile. One of the most effective ways to achieve a stunning transformation is through dental veneers. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are designed to cover the front surface of your teeth, improving their appearance and providing a natural, beautiful finish. Whether you're looking to correct discolored, chipped, or misshapen teeth, veneers can help you achieve the flawless smile you’ve always wanted.

What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are made from tooth-colored materials and are designed to improve the aesthetics of your smile. They can be used to correct a variety of cosmetic concerns, including teeth that are discolored, worn down, chipped, or uneven. By covering the front surface of the tooth, veneers enhance both the color and shape, resulting in a more uniform and attractive smile.

Our Moorestown NJ dentist office offers two types of veneers: porcelain veneers and composite resin veneers.

• Porcelain Veneers: These are highly durable and stain-resistant, making them an excellent choice for patients seeking long-lasting results. Porcelain veneers closely mimic the natural appearance of tooth enamel, providing a beautiful, lifelike look.

• Composite Resin Veneers: Unlike porcelain veneers, composite veneers are directly applied to the teeth during your visit and do not require lab work. While they may have a shorter lifespan compared to porcelain veneers, they are a more affordable option and can still provide excellent results.

When to Consider Dental Veneers

There are many reasons why patients choose veneers to enhance their smiles. You may want to consider dental veneers if you have:

• Discolored or Stained Teeth: Teeth that have been stained from coffee, tea, or tobacco may benefit from veneers to restore their white, natural appearance.

• Chipped or Broken Teeth: Veneers can repair minor chips or cracks, giving your teeth a more uniform look.

• Misshapen or Uneven Teeth: If you have teeth that are crooked or irregularly shaped, veneers can improve the overall alignment and balance of your smile.

• Gaps Between Teeth: Veneers can also be used to close small gaps between teeth, creating a more even and harmonious smile. If you're unsure whether veneers are the right solution for your cosmetic concerns, our Moorestown NJ dentist, Dr. Farid will be happy to discuss your options and guide you through the process.

The Process of Getting Veneers

Getting dental veneers typically requires two visits to our office. During the first visit, we will prepare your teeth for the veneers, and during the second visit, we will bond the custom veneers to your teeth for a lasting, beautiful result.

1. First Visit: During your initial appointment, our Moorestown NJ dentist will prepare the tooth by removing a small portion of the enamel to ensure a snug and natural fit for the veneer. Next, an impression of the tooth will be taken and sent to a laboratory where your custom veneers will be crafted. Depending on how much of the tooth structure is removed, you may be fitted with a temporary veneer to protect your tooth while the permanent veneer is being made.

2. Second Visit: Once your permanent veneer is ready, we will schedule a second appointment to complete the bonding process. At this time, the temporary veneer will be removed, and your new veneer will be placed. We will check to ensure the fit is perfect before bonding it securely to your tooth. After any final adjustments, you will leave our office with a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
