Veneers

Many of our patients visit our Hillside Ave, New Hyde Park, NY practice to improve their smile, which includes getting dental veneers. Veneers are made of thin pieces of ceramic, which are made to match the shade of their other teeth. They can cover a wide range of imperfections of their teeth, such as staining and discoloration, gaps between the teeth, oddly shaped teeth, or many other problems.

The process for getting dental veneers takes about 2-3 visits in our office and are finished in approximately three weeks. Here is a breakdown of the procedure:

1. Patients first visit us for a consultation where we take x-rays of their teeth. At this appointment, they also choose what types and shapes of veneers they want.
2. Next, Dr. Amit Pandya prepares the teeth as some of them need to be filed down to make room for the veneers. Impressions are taken after the teeth are ready and temporary veneers can be worn until the permanent ones are ready.
3. In about two weeks, patients return to our office where we bond the permanent veneer to the patient’s teeth. After the bonding dries, the veneer is polished and the process is complete.

Make an appointment with Dr. Amit Pandya in New Hyde Park, NY for your new veneers. Be sure to visit our Smile Gallery, where you can see before and after veneers photos!
