Veneers
How Do Veneers Work?
Dental veneers are wafer-thin shells that fit over the surfaces of the teeth to conceal a range of cosmetic imperfections. They can be customized per your specifications to ensure they have the best look, feel, and fit for your smile. At our Bay Ridge dental office, we use the finest medical-grade porcelain for veneers.

I look forward to returning again and again. If you need a dentist, this is the ONLY place to go in Bay Ridge.

Before scheduling your treatment with veneers, Dr. Ramirez will ensure that you have:
Sufficient Enamel
Because Dr. Ramirez will have to replace a small amount of enamel from your natural tooth surface to place a veneer, you must have sufficient enamel in place for the procedure. If your enamel is too thin to move forward with veneers, he can discuss alternative treatment options that can give you the results you're looking for, like dental bonding or crowns.
Good Oral Hygiene Habits
Even though veneers are incredibly durable, it is important to keep in mind that a veneer can eventually become damaged or stained just like a natural tooth. You can help prevent damage or staining by brushing and flossing regularly, not chewing on especially hard foods or objects, and limiting your intake of staining substances like coffee, red wine, and tomato-based sauces.
A Commitment to Results
Veneers are a permanent investment in your appearance. They are not meant to be removed, as your underlying natural teeth require the protection they offer. When the time does come to replace them, the procedure should be performed by a professional trained in this form of dentistry, such as Dr. Ramirez. If you are willing to commit to wearing veneers or protective restorations like crowns throughout your lifespan, this may be the ideal cosmetic solution for you.
