Dental Veneers in Scarsdale, NY

Scarsdale Dental Group provides dental veneers in Scarsdale, NY. Call 914-723-4707 to learn more about cosmetic dentistry and to schedule your appointment with our cosmetic dentist.

At Scarsdale Dental Group, we partner with a dental lab to create custom veneers of the highest quality. This ensures that they blend extraordinarily well with your natural teeth.

Whether you are covering a chipped front tooth, closing a small gap, or brightening stains that whitening cannot lift, custom porcelain veneers are designed to look like they belonged to you all along.


What Are Dental Veneers?


Dental veneers are extremely thin shells of porcelain that slip over the front teeth. We remove a micro layer of tooth enamel to ensure a perfect fit, and chemically bond the porcelain veneers to the teeth with a special dental cement that is cured under a light. Porcelain veneers are highly durable and can last for decades with proper hygiene, including regular flossing.

We will work with you to customize your new beautiful smile, including color, shade, size and shape for a natural appearance.

Because each veneer is fabricated for one specific tooth, no two cases look alike. The shade of your porcelain veneers is matched to the teeth around them, and the shape is designed to suit the proportions of your face and the way your lips move when you smile.


How Dental Veneers Help Improve Your Smile


Dental veneers are a popular choice and great option for many patients looking to improve the look of healthy teeth and achieve their dream smile. There are many reasons to get dental veneers including, but not limited to:

  • Cosmetically perfect your smile with a smile makeover
  • Fix crooked or misshapen teeth
  • Correct stains or discolorations that teeth whitening cannot address
  • Improve the size of teeth
  • Close small gaps between unevenly spaced teeth without aligners or braces
  • Repair teeth that are chipped or worn down

If your main concern is how your bite fits together rather than how your front teeth look, clear braces may suit you better than veneers. We will walk through both options with you during your consultation so you can decide which direction makes the most sense for your smile.

What to Expect


Dental veneers require approximately three office visits. Your first visit will consist of a consultation, along with X-rays and dental impressions should you decide to go ahead with veneers. With our help, you will design the precise look you desire for your veneers.

Your second visit is for your teeth to be prepared. We will remove approximately 1/2 millimeter of tooth enamel from the front surface of the teeth to be covered with veneers. We will then take new impressions of just the teeth that will receive the veneers.

We will then send your impressions to a trusted dental lab, along with detailed instructions. It takes approximately 4- 5 working days for lab technicians to construct your veneers. When we receive your veneers, you will return for a third visit.

During this visit, we will use translucent dental cement to carefully place your new veneers. We then remove any excess cement, adjust the bite slightly if needed, and perform any needed last-minute touches. Our goal is for your new smile to be both highly functional and aesthetically beautiful.

Depending on your needs, we will likely schedule you for a follow-up visit to ensure that you are satisfied with your new veneers and that your teeth and gums remain as healthy as can be. We pay close attention to how your veneers look and feel in your mouth, ensuring you can brush and maintain them with ease.

Caring for Your Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are cared for much the same way as natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss daily around each veneer, and keep your regular cleaning and examination appointments so we can check the margins where the porcelain meets the tooth.

A few habits are worth avoiding. Do not use your front teeth to open packaging or bite hard objects such as ice or pen caps, since porcelain can chip under that kind of pressure. If you clench or grind your teeth, tell us during your consultation so we can factor that into your treatment plan.
