What are veneers?
These are thin custom-made (for color and shape) shells designed for bonding with the front of the teeth to create an attractive smile. They are usually made of tooth-colored material and are used in the treatment of many dental conditions. If you intend to have your teeth reshaped and your smile restored, Smiles by Design in Syracuse has got you covered.
At Smile by Design, we often use veneers as an alternative to crowns. They are also our ideal solution in the treatment of many dental conditions. Just like other dental restorations, veneers may need to be replaced someday since they are not permanent. However, they will still serve you for many years hence ensuring you have a beautiful, attractive smile.

You will be required two appointments with the dentists for a complete process of getting veneers. The procedure might require little or no anesthesia. The first step is to prepare the teeth by buffing and shaping the surface of the teeth. This allows space for the thickness of the veneer. You will then be required to discuss with the dentist before choosing the shade (color) of the impression or mold to be used.
During the second appointment, special liquids will be used to cleanse the teeth so as a durable bond can be achieved. The next step is to place a bonding cement between your tooth before it is hardened and set using a special light beam.
Our dentist at Smile by Design in Syracuse will give you instructions for veneers including dental visits, proper flossing and brushing procedures.
