Dental Veneers Methuen, MA | Dr. Albert J. Sandler
At the office of Methuen MA dentist, Dr. Albert J. Sandler, we offer dental veneers as a versatile solution to enhance your smile. Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They are crafted from tooth-colored materials and can correct a variety of cosmetic issues, such as discoloration, chips, or misaligned teeth.
Dental veneers are a popular choice for patients seeking a long-lasting and natural-looking improvement in their smile. Whether your teeth are stained, uneven, or have gaps, veneers can provide a transformative result.
Types of Dental Veneers
Our trusted Methuen MA dentist, Dr. Sandler provides two types of veneers to suit each patient's unique needs:
1. Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are known for their durability, stain resistance, and natural appearance. These veneers are custom-fabricated in a dental laboratory to achieve the perfect fit and shade for your teeth. While porcelain veneers are a bit more of an investment, their longevity and aesthetic appeal make them a popular choice for many patients.
2. Composite Resin Veneers
Composite resin veneers are applied directly to the teeth in our dental office. While they may not last as long as porcelain veneers, they are a more affordable option and can be a great choice for minor corrections.
When Should You Consider Dental Veneers?
Dr. Sandler may recommend veneers if you have:
- Stained or discolored teeth that don’t respond to whitening treatments.
- Crooked or misshaped teeth that affect your smile.
- Spaces or gaps between your teeth.
- Chipped or broken teeth that need restoration.
The Veneer Process
The placement of porcelain veneers typically requires two visits to our Methuen MA dentist office:
1. First Visit:
- Preparation: A small portion of your tooth's enamel is trimmed to accommodate the veneer.
- Impressions: A mold of your teeth is taken and sent to a lab where your custom veneer is created.
- Temporary Veneers: If needed, temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth while the permanent ones are being fabricated.
2. Second Visit:
- Placement: The temporary veneers are removed, and the permanent ones are fitted.
- Adjustments: Any necessary adjustments are made to ensure the perfect fit.
- Bonding: Once you and Dr. Sandler are satisfied, the veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth.
