What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. Crafted from high-quality porcelain or composite resin, veneers mimic the translucency and texture of natural enamel, creating a seamless and radiant smile.
What Can Veneers Fix?
✔ Gaps Between Teeth – Close small spaces without the need for orthodontics.
✔ Uneven or Short Teeth – Lengthen and reshape teeth for a more balanced smile.
✔ Slightly Crooked Teeth – Conceal minor misalignment instantly.
✔ Discoloration & Stains – Permanently brighten teeth that don’t respond to whitening.
✔ Chipped or Worn Teeth – Restore smooth, even edges for a youthful smile.
✔ Irregularly Shaped Teeth – Create symmetry and proportion.
💡 Veneers provide an instant smile transformation with natural-looking results!
Types of Dental Veneers
At Manhattan Dental Spa, we offer several veneer options tailored to your needs and goals:
1. Porcelain Veneers (Best Option!)
✔ Highly durable & stain-resistant – Lasts 10-15+ years with proper care.
✔ Custom-crafted for a perfect fit – Mimics the look and feel of natural teeth.
✔ Multi-layered porcelain – Enhances translucency and light reflection.
✔ Minimally invasive – Requires only a small amount of enamel removal.
💡 Best for: Patients looking for the most natural, durable, and long-lasting veneers.
2. Composite Veneers
✔ More affordable than porcelain but slightly less durable.
✔ Can be completed in one visit – Made directly on the tooth.
✔ Good for minor cosmetic corrections but may stain over time.
💡 Best for: Patients seeking a cost-effective cosmetic enhancement with a shorter lifespan.
3. Instant Veneers (Not Recommended)
✔ Prefabricated resin veneers that are applied without customization.
✔ Less aesthetic, durable, and precise compared to custom veneers.
💡 Why we don’t recommend them: They lack the fit, quality, and longevity of custom veneers, making them an inferior choice.
