What are Dental Veneers?

Put simply, dental veneers are thin shells that cover the fronts of teeth. Dentists use them to cover a patient’s various tooth flaws — stains, chips, cracks, fractures, etc. In fact, veneers can even hide dental misalignment and thus make teeth look straighter. You thus wouldn’t have to spend months wearing braces!
Our team uses veneers made of porcelain — a durable, high-quality material. Therefore, we can customize the prosthetic to match your tooth enamel in color, size, and shape. This aspect thus results in a treatment that easily blends with the rest of your smile!

The Process of Getting Veneers

Getting veneers takes two appointments: an initial consultation or “preparatory visit” and a “final placement” a few weeks later.
For the first visit, our dentists will start by learning what you want from treatment. In particular, you and they will discuss your smile goals, the flaws you wish to correct, and so on. After doing so, your teeth will be prepped for veneers with a cleaning and slight enamel removal. Furthermore, the dentists will take a dental impression that’ll help make the prosthetics. You’ll then be given temporary veneers to wear until the final placement occurs.
The dentists will have you return when the final veneers are ready. They’ll carefully fit the porcelain layers onto your teeth at that time. This step is usually quick, as it relies on a special light to speed up the cementing process. Once the veneers are set, they’ll be bonded to your teeth in mere minutes. The dentists will then wrap up the visit with a few adjustments, ensuring the veneers look ideal.

The Benefits of Veneers

Once you’ve received your porcelain veneers, you can expect a wide variety of benefits. These perks include the following:
  • Lifelike Results: Veneers perfectly match your tooth enamel and blend seamlessly with your smile. It’s to the point that most people can’t tell the difference between a veneered tooth and a fully natural one.
  • Stain-Resistance: Veneers' porcelain have stain-resistance, so it doesn’t discolor as easily as tooth enamel. As such, your treatment can better endure known tooth-stainers like coffee, red wine, and soda.
  • Versatility: Unlike other cosmetic procedures, veneers can correct multiple smile flaws at once. You can rely on them to hide anything from stains to dental misalignment!
  • Long-Lasting Effects: Veneers tend to last 15 years on average. If given proper care, however, their lifespan can extend to 30 years or more!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What are dental veneers and how can they improve my smile?
A. Dental veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made porcelain shells that cover the front surface of teeth to mask imperfections such as stains, chips, cracks, uneven spacing, or minor misalignment. At Breezy Point Smiles, veneers are designed to blend with your natural teeth for a seamless, radiant smile.
Q. Who is a good candidate for veneers?
A. Ideal candidates are adults with healthy gums and adequate enamel who want to improve the aesthetic appearance of their smile. Veneers are especially effective for people with teeth that are discolored, chipped, uneven, or slightly misaligned. A comprehensive dental exam at our Queens office determines if veneers are right for you.
Q. What is the process for getting veneers at Breezy Point Smiles?

A. Getting veneers usually involves two visits:

  • Consultation & prep: We discuss your goals, slightly reshape your teeth, and take impressions.
  • Final placement: Custom porcelain veneers are bonded to your teeth for natural-looking results.

Most patients leave with a confident smile in just a couple of appointments.

Q. How long do porcelain veneers last?
A. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, porcelain veneers can last 15 years or more, and in many cases up to 30 years. Longevity depends on how well you care for your teeth and avoid habits like chewing on hard objects.
Q. Are veneers stain-resistant?
A. Yes. Porcelain veneers are more stain-resistant than natural enamel, helping your smile stay brighter longer — even with regular coffee, tea, or wine consumption. However, maintaining good dental hygiene and regular cleanings will ensure optimal results.
Q. Do veneers hurt?
A. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the veneer process. Local anesthetic is typically used during enamel preparation, and the procedure is gentle. You may feel some sensitivity afterward, but this usually resolves quickly.
Q. How do I care for my veneers?

A.  Caring for veneers is similar to caring for your natural teeth:

  • Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste
  • Floss daily
  • Visit Breezy Point Smiles for routine dental exams and cleanings

Avoid chewing hard items like ice or popcorn kernels that could damage the veneers

Q. How much do veneers cost in Queens, NY?
A. The cost of veneers can vary based on how many you need and the custom treatment plan created by your dentist. During your consultation at our Queens practice, we’ll provide a clear estimate and review all payment options — including dental insurance and financing if applicable.

Soft Tissue Laser

Nowadays, many procedures involving the gums are performed using a soft-tissue laser. We can use the energy from the laser to excise unneeded or infected tissue while also sterilizing the area to prevent bacteria from causing any more damage. Many patients prefer soft tissue lasers over traditional instruments because they cause very little discomfort; the mouth often doesn’t need to be numbed at all, and there is very little if any bleeding to worry about afterwards.

Hard Tissue Laser

In addition to lasers for sterilizing and removing soft tissues, we also have lasers that are designed specifically for hard tissue – namely your teeth and bones. We often use our hard tissue lasers to prepare teeth for filling placement. We can remove the decayed parts of the tooth without damaging the rest of the enamel, and the lack of pain means there is no need for us to use a local anesthetic to numb the tooth for such procedures.

Co2 Laser

CO2 lasers have been used in dentistry for more than 25 years. They can be used for a wide range of dental procedures, including soft tissue treatments around dental implants and the removal of gum tissue that has become infected as a result of gum disease. The laser energy is generated using carbon dioxide, and it is set at a wavelength that vaporizes the water found in soft tissue, allowing for quick, efficient cutting.
