Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are a popular cosmetic treatment that can give you the smile of your dreams. They are customizable and can easily improve the appearance of your teeth.
Treat Yourself to a Beautiful New Smile
If you have issues with crowding, chipped teeth, worn-down teeth, or areas of staining, then dental veneers may be the perfect solution for you. Dental veneers are customizable, meaning the shade and shape can be adjusted according to your preferences to give you the smile you have always dreamed of. Veneers are durable and can last for many years with proper care.
Our cosmetic experts at Jersey Smiles in Tinton Falls, NJ, are skilled in veneer engineering and placement. We first take a detailed impression of your teeth to custom-fabricate veneers that fit perfectly over your natural teeth. Next, the dentist will remove a tiny enamel layer to provide a perfect bonding surface.
Once prepared, the veneers, essentially fragile layers of durable ceramic material, are permanently bonded to your teeth to conceal imperfections or flaws. Various factors come into play when crafting a perfect set of porcelain veneers. Our state-of-the-art cosmetic dentistry facility considers even the most minor aesthetic details, such as precisely matching the color and tone of your natural teeth. We also consider your unique features like gum and lip lines, jaw contours, facial bone structures, and natural skin tone.
When we are done, your porcelain veneers will perfectly complement your natural features, bringing out a brilliant, beaming smile you never knew you could have!

How do dental veneers work?
Dental veneers are thin shells placed on the front surfaces of teeth to cover flaws and make adjustments to alignment. Depending on the type of veneer, a small amount of enamel may be removed from the teeth before installation. Veneers can also improve spacing by adjusting their thickness. They are easy to apply and require tooth preparation, followed by securing them in place with strong dental adhesive.

What types of dental veneers are available?
There are two main types of dental veneers: porcelain veneers and composite veneers. Both options are great for enhancing your smile.
Composite veneers are made in-office using tooth-colored resin applied directly to the teeth. They are typically less expensive and faster to apply than porcelain veneers. Composite veneers are an excellent solution for covering a variety of aesthetic issues.
Porcelain veneers are custom-made from porcelain to fit your teeth. They are usually created in a laboratory and then sent to our office. Once we receive them, we will apply them to your teeth and ensure they fit perfectly. Porcelain veneers are stronger than composite veneers, can fix more significant cosmetic issues such as very dark stained teeth or teeth that are not positioned correctly, and provide a more natural look. They also tend to last longer.

How long do dental veneers last?
Our veneers are created from high-quality material designed to endure—generally, most veneers last between 10 and 15 years. However, with exceptional dental care, your dental veneers can last even longer – up to 20 years or more. If you find that your dental veneers require repair or replacement, please do not hesitate to contact our office immediately so that we can restore your beautiful smile.
