A Stunning Cosmetic Solution For Stains, Cracks, and Other Smile Flaws

Have you ever been in awe (and perhaps a little jealous) of a celebrity’s stunningly perfect smile on TV? Have you ever wondered how it’s even possible to have such brilliantly white teeth? More likely than not, most celebrities that you see on TV have porcelain veneers. These are thin, custom fabricated pieces of ceramic that are bonded to the outer surface of a tooth to correct imperfections. Dental veneers are a simple, affordable solution that, in just one or two visits to our office in New Bedford, MA, can completely reconstruct your smile and give you the brilliant, stunning set of pearly whites that you’ve always dreamed of.

Are You A Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?

If you’ve got imperfections in your smile but are otherwise in good oral health (healthy gums, no bone loss, etc), you are a candidate for porcelain veneers. Veneers cannot fix missing or severely damaged teeth, but they can correct a variety of cosmetic imperfections to help you achieve that perfect, celebrity-like smile:

A Customized, Patient-Specific Treatment Process

Each and every patient is unique, which is why each and every patient requires unique, personalized care and attention when it comes to fabricating and placing porcelain veneers. This is also when the importance of a highly skilled cosmetic dentist comes into play; since the oral landscape of every patient is different, only a dentist with years of experience and artistic nous can fabricate custom veneer teeth that truly complement a patient’s natural bone structure and facial features. At Aarohi Dental, our specialized cosmetic team has the tools, technology, and expertise to deliver the best porcelain veneers in New Bedford, MA.

First, Dr. Sathish Palayam or another one of our veneer specialists will remove a thin layer of enamel from the outer surface of the tooth. This will provide a mildly abrasive surface for the veneer to permanently bond to. Next, our team will take a detailed impression of your teeth using state-of-the-art 3D imaging equipment. We will then custom fabricate your dental veneers using a space age, industry leading ceramic material that will last for decades. On your first visit to our New Bedford, MA location, we will place your temporary veneers. On your second visit, we will remove the temporary veneer(s) and replace them with the final, stunning restoration.

FAQ: A Patient's Guide to Porcelain Veneers

Do porcelain veneers hurt?

Not at all! While some patients may feel mild soreness or discomfort during (or after) their procedure, most patients don’t feel a thing. For patients with a low threshold for pain, we offer sedation options to make your experience as comfortable and pain free as possible.

How long does it take?

Porcelain veneers can typically be placed in as little as two visits to our dental practice in New Bedford, MA. On your first visit, Dr. Palayam will take impressions of your teeth in order to custom fabricate the veneer pieces. On your second visit, the veneers will be placed, resulting in a stunning, perfectly white, brand new smile that you’ll be proud to show off.

How long can I expect my veneers to last?

Veneers are permanent, and with proper care and maintenance, they can last a lifetime. On average, porcelain veneers will last anywhere from 15-20 years.

Can I brush and floss like normal?

Absolutely! Normal brushing and flossing is encouraged not only for healthy teeth and gums, but also to maximize the beauty, durability, and functionality of your porcelain veneers.

Can porcelain veneers fix missing teeth or large gaps?

For more severe cosmetic imperfections such as gaps and large spans due to missing teeth, a more in-depth solution (such as bridges or dental implants) will likely be required in order to achieve cosmetic perfection.

Will veneers fix my cavities or gum disease?

No – dental veneers are a cosmetic solution only, they are not designed to fix oral health problems relating to cavities, gum disease, or root canals. In fact, in order for porcelain veneers to be placed, a patient must first take care of any oral care that is needed in order to achieve adequate oral health.

How much do porcelain veneers cost?

The cost of porcelain veneers can vary widely depending on a variety of factors. In some instances they can be less than $1,000, and in many instances, they can cost several thousands of dollars – particularly if several veneers are being placed at once.
