Our team designs each set of veneers to match your facial features, skin tone, and smile goals. You get a result that looks natural and feels comfortable from day one.

What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded directly to the front surface of your teeth. They cover cosmetic flaws and change the color, shape, size, or length of one or more teeth. Once bonded, they become a permanent part of your smile.

Veneers work well for people who want a significant improvement to their smile without the recovery time of more involved procedures. You keep your natural teeth intact, and the entire process takes place over two to three visits.

Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers work best for patients who:

Have healthy teeth and gums with no active decay or gum disease.
Want to improve the appearance of one or more front teeth.
Have cosmetic concerns that whitening or bonding alone cannot address.
Are committed to maintaining good oral hygiene habits.

Veneers are not the right choice for patients who grind their teeth heavily without wearing a night guard, or for teeth with very little remaining enamel. During your consultation, we identify any concerns upfront so you always know your options.

Cosmetic Problems Dental Veneers Fix

Dental veneers address a wide range of aesthetic concerns, including:

Permanently stained or discolored teeth that do not respond to whitening.
Chipped or cracked teeth.
Uneven or irregularly shaped teeth.
Small gaps between teeth.
Slightly misaligned teeth.
Worn-down teeth that look shorter than normal.
Teeth that appear too small relative to your gums.

If you are unsure whether veneers are the right option for you, our team will review your teeth during a consultation and walk you through every available alternative.

Benefits of Dental Veneers

Dental veneers deliver results that go beyond appearance. Here is what you gain when you choose veneers at Mathew Dental Group:

Long-lasting results: Porcelain veneers last 10 to 15 years with routine care.
Natural-looking finish: Porcelain reflects light like real enamel, so the results look seamless.
Stain resistance: Porcelain resists coffee, tea, and wine stains better than natural enamel.
Minimal tooth alteration: Only a thin enamel layer is removed; your tooth stays largely intact.
Fixes multiple concerns at once: Veneers correct color, shape, size, and minor alignment issues in a single treatment.
Fast, predictable outcome: Most patients complete the full process in two to three visits.
Boost in confidence: Patients report feeling more comfortable smiling and engaging with others after treatment.

Types of Dental Veneers We Offer

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are the gold standard in cosmetic dentistry. They resist staining, reflect light like natural enamel, and last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care. Each porcelain veneer is crafted in a dental lab to match the exact dimensions and shade prescribed by your dentist.

Composite Resin Veneers

Composite resin veneers are applied directly in the office in a single visit. Your dentist sculpts the material by hand onto your tooth surface. They cost less than porcelain veneers and require little to no enamel removal. They do not last as long as porcelain, but they are a strong option when budget or timing is a priority.

The Dental Veneer Process at Mathew Dental Group

We keep the veneer process clear and comfortable. Here is what you expect from start to finish:

Step 1: Consultation

You meet with Dr. Bilu Mathew or Dr. Julie Mathew to discuss your smile goals. We examine your teeth, take X-rays if needed, and confirm you are a good candidate for dental veneers. We also go over your options between porcelain and composite resin.

Step 2: Tooth Preparation

For porcelain veneers, we remove a small, thin layer of enamel from the front of each treated tooth. This ensures the veneer sits flush with surrounding teeth. We take precise impressions of your prepared teeth and send them to a dental lab. You leave with temporary veneers to protect your teeth while your permanent set is made.

Step 3: Veneer Fabrication

The dental lab creates your custom veneers based on the impressions and shade we select together. This step takes approximately one to two weeks.

Step 4: Bonding

You return to our Smithtown office for the final placement. We check the fit and color, make any minor adjustments, then permanently bond each veneer to your tooth using a strong dental adhesive. A curing light hardens the bond in seconds.

Step 5: Final Review

We check your bite, polish the veneers, and make sure you are completely satisfied before you leave.

How to Care for Your Dental Veneers

Veneers do not require any special care beyond a good daily routine. Follow these steps to keep them looking their best:

Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste.
Floss once a day, being gentle around the veneer edges.
Avoid biting into hard foods like ice, hard candy, or fingernails with your veneered teeth.
Wear a night guard if you tend to clench or grind your teeth while sleeping.
Keep your regular checkup schedule at our Smithtown office every six months.
Limit dark-staining beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine, especially for composite veneers.

With consistent care, your porcelain veneers will maintain their color and fit for many years.

FAQ

Do dental veneers look natural?

Yes. We select a veneer shade and shape that matches your surrounding teeth and complements your facial features. Porcelain veneers in particular reflect light in a way that is nearly identical to natural tooth enamel, making them difficult to distinguish from your real teeth.

Are dental veneers permanent?

The bonding process is considered permanent because we remove a small layer of enamel from your tooth before placing porcelain veneers. That enamel does not grow back, so your tooth will always need a veneer or another covering. Composite veneers involve less enamel removal and are considered semi-permanent.

Can I whiten my teeth after getting veneers?

Veneers do not respond to whitening treatments the way natural tooth enamel does. For this reason, we recommend whitening your natural teeth to your desired shade before selecting the color of your veneers. That way, we match your veneers to your whitened smile.

How many teeth do I need to get veneers on?

There is no required minimum. Some patients get a single veneer to fix one chipped tooth. Others get a full set of six to eight veneers across their front teeth for a complete smile makeover. We help you decide based on your aesthetic goals and budget.
