Porcelain Veneers
Cosmetic flaws can leave you feeling self-conscious about the appearance of your smile.
Porcelain veneers are a versatile solution that can address many dental problems.
Learn how Dr. Michael Feldstein and the team at Jewel Dental Associates in Flushing, NY, can transform your smile.
How Porcelain Veneers Work Covering the Basics
Porcelain veneers are a simple and versatile treatment option for aesthetic imperfections that affect the front teeth. Here is what patients should know.
Ultra-Thin Porcelain Shells
Dental veneers are ultra-thin shells of strong porcelain that fit over the front of a tooth. A little bit of enamel is removed to produce a seamless and snug fit.
Mask Imperfections
Think of a dental veneer as a mask for a tooth. When a veneer is in place, it covers up dental imperfections, helping your tooth look naturally flawless and perfect.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Veneers?
When you visit our Flushing practice, we'll perform a full exam and determine if you're a good candidate for porcelain veneers. Many veneers patients meet the criteria below:
Self-Conscious About Their Appearance
If you have cosmetic flaws that affect the look of your smile, you probably want to make a positive change. Veneers can transform teeth that are discolored, damaged, or otherwise imperfect.Sufficient Tooth Enamel
A small amount of enamel is removed to accommodate a porcelain veneer. Patients need to have enough healthy enamel on their tooth so the veneer can be safely and seamlessly placed.Good Overall Dental Health
Patients should have generally healthy teeth and not suffer from cavities, gum disease, teeth grinding (bruxism), or other issues. Problems must be resolved before undergoing cosmetic care.Commitment to Lasting Change
After getting veneers, it's important that patients take aftercare seriously. That means good hygiene, regular dentist visits, and following aftercare instructions to ensure their veneers last for years."He Is an Excellent Dentist and a Caring Gentleman!" 5-Star Reviews from Patients in Flushing, NY

How Long Will My Veneers Last?
/
On average, dental veneers can last up to 15 years with proper care. The team at our Flushing office can check your veneers if they've been chipped or cracked and recommend replacement if necessary.
Proper Veneer Aftercare Making the Benefits of Veneers Last
We want to help all of our Flushing patients experience lasting benefits from our cosmetic dentistry procedures. These are some basic ways to extend the lifespan of your veneers:
While porcelain veneers won't decay, you still need to brush and floss regularly to maintain your oral health. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste that does not contain abrasive ingredients like baking soda.
If you are an athlete or work in a field in which head or face injuries are likely, it's important to wear a mouth guard or helmet. Simple face and head protection can prevent injury and protect your veneers from harm.
Cigarettes and tobacco products make gum disease and other health issues more likely. You'll also need teeth whitening to brighten your natural tooth structure. Kicking the habit for good is best for you and your smile.
Certain habits are bad for veneers as well as normal teeth. This includes chewing on ice cubes, pen caps, straws, and your nails. Avoiding these bad habits will prevent both veneer and tooth fractures.
Normal cleanings and checkups twice a year are essential for good oral health. Dentists can identify and treat problems early and let you know if your porcelain veneers need to be replaced.
Signs Your Veneers Need to Be Replaced
While our dentists will catch signs of worn down dental veneers during regular cleaning and appointments, there are a few warning signs that you can be on the look out for between checkups. Some of the most common signs that your veneers have to be replaced include:
- Visible chips or cracks on the veneer
- The veneer seems to be lifted from the tooth surface
- Discoloration to the veneer material
- Changes in the brightness or shininess of the veneer
Additional Issues to Note
In addition to the above, you should get in touch with our practice if your tooth with a veneer develops pain or sensitivity or if gum recession occurs around the tooth with a veneer. This could be signs of tooth decay beneath the dental veneer or other health issues that require professional attention.

How Many Veneers Should I Get?
Dr. Feldstein will work closely with you to understand what you don't like about your smile and what your goals are. By understanding your concerns, he can determine if you need just one veneer or a full set to create the balance and symmetry that are the hallmarks of a beautiful smile.
How Do I Get Veneers to Match My Other Teeth?
Dr. Feldstein takes great care during the planning process to ensure your veneers not only camouflage problems but also blend in with your teeth to create a natural, symmetrical smile. In addition to being skilled in the use of advanced technology, he has years of hands-on experience in planning and placing veneers. He takes into account the size, shape, and color of your teeth so your smile will look completely natural.
Are Veneers Permanent?
Because a small amount of enamel needs to be removed from your teeth, the procedure to get porcelain veneers is not reversible. Just like any dental restoration, a veneer can break or fall off. If a veneer is damaged, you will have to replace it with a new one to avoid complications.
What's the Difference Between a Veneer and a Crown?
While dental crowns are typically used to repair damaged or decayed teeth, they can also be used cosmetically to improve a tooth that is small or misshapen. Unlike a veneer, which is a thin shell placed on the front of a tooth, a crown covers a tooth on all sides like a cap. Dr. Feldstein can help determine whether crowns or veneers are the best solution in your situation.
Alternatives to Veneers
While veneers are versatile, they may not be the right option for your particular cosmetic dentistry needs. If that's the case, the dentists at our Flushing, NY, practice may recommend some of these alternative treatments.
Dental bonding uses tooth-colored resin to paint over minor cosmetic flaws, including stains, chips, cracks, and even small gaps. The bonding material is carefully polished so it blends in with your natural tooth.
