Dr. Ben Imframov does great work. I needed veneers on my front teeth. He said I could get 8 on the top, so they all match or just do the 4 fronts. He recommended just getting the 4 in the front done. So he recommended the cheaper option. Surprisingly! He did the work in a couple visits and it came out great! Very Happy! He has before and after shots to prove his work also. – P.M. – Google review

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers cover the front of your teeth, which people see when you smile, to improve the appearance of your mouth. Your teeth will look whiter, brighter, and straighter with porcelain veneers, which hide your imperfections. The veneer is a thin sheet of porcelain colored to match your tooth. The veneer adheres to the front surface of the tooth with the use of a specialized cement. They hide:

  • Cracks.
  • Uneven edges.
  • Stains and discolorations.
  • Gaps between the teeth.
  • Chips.

Veneers can even obscure malposed or rotated teeth.

What Problems Do Porcelain Veneers Solve?

When teeth whitening treatment does not brighten discolored teeth, or when misshapen teeth cause embarrassment, it may be time to makeover your smile with porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers offer an immediate cosmetic solution to common dental issues, such as:

  • Gaps and spaces
  • Crooked or uneven teeth
  • Shape or size irregularities
  • Discolored teeth
  • Gummy smiles
  • Cracked or chipped teeth
  • Decayed teeth

A gorgeous smile enhances other aspects of your life as well. Not only do porcelain veneers correct cosmetic issues, but they also improve your overall well-being. A brilliant smile may lead to:

  • Powerful first impressions
  • Greater success resulting from increased confidence
  • The happiness of looking and feeling more attractive
  • A self-esteem boost that will make you more comfortable in both large social gatherings and intimate situations

white teeth stat

Studies confirm that people with straight white teeth are believed to be more attractive, healthier, wealthier and more educated than those who appear to have poor oral health. For example, a study published in 2012 confirmed that both male and female subjects found white teeth more attractive than discolored teeth. Similarly, tooth wear and tooth loss reflected poor health. The study provides evidence that people consider teeth when choosing a soul mate.

Another study, published by Procter & Gamble in 2007, found that a bright, white smile powerfully impacts social and professional interactions. Researchers discovered the following:

  • Fifty-eight percent of online survey participants were more likely to be hired after their teeth had been whitened.
  • Fifty-three percent of online survey participants were more likely to receive a larger salary with whiter teeth.
  • Sixty-five percent of study participants were viewed as more professional during a simulated job interview after their teeth had been whitened.
  • Sixty-one percent of study participants were more confident after their teeth had been whitened.

Health and happiness are among the most attractive qualities an individual can possess. With a beautiful smile that is customized for your face and mouth shape, your unique personality will brilliantly shine through and warm the people around you.

Ideal Candidates for Porcelain Veneers

ideal candidate for porcelain veneers

The best candidate for porcelain veneers is anyone who is unhappy with their smile. You might consider veneers if:

  • You want to solve structural issues such as cracks, gaps, and misaligned teeth.
  • You have medication-induced stains that teeth whitening will not remove.
  • You want whiter teeth but your diet contains foods and drinks that stain your teeth, like coffee, tea, wine, berries, or other acidic foods.
  • You want whiter teeth than you would be able to achieve using other methods.
  • You have a gummy smile.
  • You have mild dental decay.
  • You have overall good oral health.
  • You are committed to good oral hygiene and care.

Porcelain veneers are not recommended for these cases:

  • If you are experiencing oral health issues such as gum disease or weakened teeth.
  • If you have or need to have root canal treatment, in which case, ceramic crowns may be suggested as an alternative.
  • If you regularly grind your teeth.

However, even if you do not qualify for porcelain veneers at this time, you may consider veneers or other cosmetic solutions as an option after dental health issues have been successfully treated. Dr. Ifraimov will examine the condition of your teeth during the free consultation to determine the right treatment for you.

The Porcelain Veneer Process

Application of a veneer typically takes two visits. Once the veneer is applied, the transformation is instantaneous.

Dr. Ben Ifraimov has extensive training in all areas of dentistry but he specializes in smile makeovers with porcelain veneers. He and our knowledgeable staff at 209 NYC Dental are excited to give you the smile you have always wanted. With porcelain veneers, you will never have to feel self-conscious when you smile. In fact, you will always be smiling. Dr. Ifraimov makes sure his patients are comfortable throughout the entire process, and he encourages open communication, so all questions are answered. Dr. Ifraimov wants his patients to feel secure and confident about their care, and he strives to meet his patient’s needs.

As a patient at 209 NYC Dental, you can expect the porcelain veneer process to be completed in the following steps.

1. Initial Consultation

First, you will meet with Dr. Ifraimov to address your concerns and devise the best dental treatment plan. You will have the opportunity to explain your desires, discuss treatment and decide if porcelain veneers are right for you. If you are not a candidate for porcelain veneers due to certain oral health issues, Dr. Ifraimov will recommend the best treatment for your condition.

After the consultation with Dr. Ifraimov, you will meet with his treatment coordinator, Laura, to discuss treatment costs and your options for making payments. From then on Laura will be your point person. She will coordinate your treatment and answer all additional questions you may be having. Having undergone porcelain veneers treatment, Laura is the best person to assist you in this process.

2. First Visit

porcelain veneers first visit

During the first visit, a small amount of enamel from the tooth surface will be removed to provide space for the veneer and prevent overlapping. Veneers are thin, but they still take up a bit of space on the tooth’s surface.

In most cases, Dr. Ifraimov will capture a digital impression using a 3D digital scanner to fabricate the best veneers for your teeth. However, in some cases, traditional impressions are more suitable. Often, the number of the teeth undergoing treatment with porcelain veneer and the current condition of these teeth will be the deciding factor. Dr. Ifraimov will be able to determine the course of your treatment during the initial consultation.

Also during your first visit, temporary veneers will be fabricated and placed to protect teeth while the porcelain veneers are being created by our Master Technician. Typically, you will wear temporary veneers for a couple of weeks. Temporary veneers look and feel natural, and they resemble the final veneers.

At the end of the first visit, you will be able to eat, drink and go about your life with your temporary veneers. You will notice a difference in your smile right away, and you will have the chance to get comfortable with your veneers.

3. Second Visit

Once your final veneers are made, it is time to complete the process by getting your permanent porcelain veneers installed. First, the temporary veneers will be removed. Next, the porcelain veneers will be adhered to the tooth surface using very strong dental cement. Finally, the veneer will be carefully buffed to feel and look natural.

A porcelain veneer procedure is not very discomforting, and patients usually feel fine shortly after the procedure. Some patients may experience slight sensitivity or discomfort for a couple of days. Dr. Ifraimov will explain proper follow-up care and address any of your concerns.

Dr. Ifraimov and our staff understand that everyone has a different smile and they take pride in customizing your smile to your unique face shape, size and skin color. At 209 NYC Dental, you will receive an authentic beautiful smile that suits your personality.

Many patients have told us about positive developments in their lives like job promotions, meeting significant others and healthy lifestyle changes after they made over their smiles. With a new, luminescent smile, you will love to laugh, talk, kiss and show the world how brilliantly you shine.

How to Clean Porcelain Veneers

Generally, you will care for your veneers just as you care for your natural teeth but with a few minor adjustments. Although porcelain veneers resist stains, you will want to practice proper care to maximize their life span and keep them bright, clean and beautiful. With gentle treatment, veneers can last for decades.

To take care of your porcelain veneers, follow these recommendations:

  • Brush with a soft-bristled toothbrush after each meal
  • Avoid using an abrasive toothpaste with compounds such as baking soda
  • Gently floss regularly
  • Use Waterpik to clean areas string floss cannot reach
  • Avoid using an astringent mouthwash
  • Wear a nite guard during sleep

Brushing your veneers at least twice each day or after mealtimes will help keep them clean, just like your natural teeth. Without regular care, decay can form in the gum tissue underneath your veneers. You should also continue following up with your dentist, and always ask questions about proper dental care if you have any concerns.

Overall, porcelain veneers should fit seamlessly into your dental hygiene routine. They are just about as easy to care for as natural teeth, and you can use similar methods to maintain them as you would your natural teeth. The most important factor about the care and maintenance of your veneers is knowing that abrasive materials can be harmful to them.

 

How Much Are Porcelain Veneers in New York?

Where to Get the Best Porcelain Veneers in NYC

When it is time to choose a dentist for your dental veneer procedure, you want to make sure you go to someone you trust. You want your dental veneers to be designed to complement your unique smile and facial features, so it is important to choose a dentist who has experience in this type of cosmetic procedure. Not all dentists are skilled in veneer treatment.

Just like any other dental procedure, creating and applying porcelain veneers is an art. Most of the patients want dental veneers to give them naturally perfect smiles. To achieve such perfection, your dentist must be able to design veneers that match your skin tone and face shape in addition to dental concerns. With so many shades of white available, choosing the right shade that suits your skin tone, your eyes and your hair is one of the skills that takes an aesthetic eye and time to develop. It may seem a no-brainer, but one may end up looking like Ross from Friends if the wrong shade is chosen. The same goes for the size of each veneer.

Testimonials

Can’t say enough good things about this place. We found this place because my partner had a dental emergency and no insurance. We both have dentist phobias that have prevented us from keeping on top of our teeth cleanings etc. and so we don’t have a regular one to go to in situations like this. I looked for the highest rated dentist in the city on Google and found this place, which mentions specialty in caring for emergencies on their site. And so I got him in the door based on that. They spoke the truth! They were so kind, patient, caring and non judgmental for my partner, it made me want to go in for my own cleaning and care. Now we’ve referred several people since! I personally have been seeing Dr. Reddy, who is a gem of a human who seems to enjoy her work. my friends have seen other dentists here and we’ve all had the best experience here and think ours is the best. :) Since it was years since my cleaning, I did need some work done over the last couple months or so and I made it to all of them. Instead of anxiety and maybe occasionally postponing as I would do in the past, I almost looked forward to my appointments. They made all the costs and insurance coverage completely clear and transparent and gave me choices. I commute from Bushwick but it’s been so worth it. If you are looking for the dentist, this is your place!
