Porcelain Veneers – The Cornerstone of Cosmetic Dentistry
No feature of the human body communicates as much about a person’s personality and warmth as the smile. Many people, however, have teeth that have become discolored, chipped, or otherwise damaged, whether due to genetics, trauma, or the simple passage of time. Thankfully, through advances in cosmetic dentistry, no one has to live with a smile that is less than ideal. And no treatment in cosmetic dentistry can match the natural appearance or transformative power of porcelain veneers.
At Park Dental Care in Astoria, New York, cosmetic dentists Gene Caiafa, Sr., and Gene Caiafa, Jr. provide patients with customized porcelain veneers using only the highest-grade porcelain. These veneers are crafting according to exacting specifications so that they perfectly complement the size, shape, color, and texture of surrounding natural teeth. In many cases, porcelain veneers are combined with laser teeth whitening and dental crowns as part of a comprehensive smile makeover plan. They effectively conceal nearly any aesthetic flaw in the teeth, including cracks, stains, chips, and irregularities in shape and size.
The remarkably natural appearance of veneers is a result of the properties of the high-quality porcelain used in the treatment. Aside from being strong and durable, porcelain mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel. Like natural enamel, porcelain is translucent, meaning that it allows some light to pass through its surface rather than simply reflecting it. Simply stated, porcelain comes closer to replicating the structural properties of natural teeth than any other restorative material.
As a patient of Park Dental Care in Astoria, New York, you can be assured of porcelain veneers of the highest quality and care of the most surpassing standard. Drs. Caiafa, Sr., and Caiafa, Jr., have a history of producing consistently outstanding smile makeover results for their valued patients, and they would be pleased to welcome you into their family practice.
