Why Choose Beam Dental

Our dedicated team of dentists, implant specialists, hygienists, and care specialists in Edison, NJ, works together to create a convenient dental experience.

Veneers have become a highly sought-after solution for those looking to upgrade their smile's appearance. These custom-designed, thin layers are bonded to the front of your teeth to enhance their color, shape, and overall alignment.

At our Edison office, we offer two primary types of dental veneers:

  • Porcelain Veneers: These are custom-crafted in a specialized lab using high-grade ceramic. They are incredibly strong, durable, and stain-resistant, providing a look that closely mimics natural teeth.
  • Composite Veneers: These are made from a tooth-colored resin material that is bonded directly to your teeth by the dentist. While they are typically more affordable, they may be less durable than porcelain options.

Both options are effective at correcting cosmetic issues such as chips, stains, and uneven teeth. During the procedure, your dentist will prepare the tooth by removing a very thin layer of enamel to ensure a seamless fit. After the procedure, it is important to maintain a good oral hygiene routine and avoid habits like biting on ice or hard objects to protect your new smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I consider replacing my veneers?

While they are long-lasting, you should plan for replacement eventually. Watch for signs of wear such as cracks, chips, discoloration, or a visible space between the veneer and your gumline.

How do I properly care for my veneers?

To help your veneers last, brush twice a day for two minutes with a soft-bristle brush and floss daily. Be careful to slide the floss gently between teeth and avoid biting into very hard foods like candy or nuts, which could cause chipping.

Are veneers better than dental crowns?

Veneers are best suited for addressing minor aesthetic flaws like chips or gaps in otherwise healthy teeth. In contrast, dental crowns are a more durable and comprehensive solution for teeth with significant decay, fractures, or those that have had a root canal.

How long can I expect my veneers to last?

Generally, dental veneers last around 10 years, depending on your lifestyle and how well you maintain them. Porcelain veneers are typically more resistant to chips, cracks, and staining than other materials.
