Enhance Your Smile With Porcelain Veneers

What is the first thing you notice when you meet someone for the first time? You may say their eyes or their hair,  but more often than not, your smile is the first thing most people notice.  If you don’t like your smile due to discolored or crooked teeth, it can lower your confidence. Luckily, at Lasting Smiles of Bethlehem, we offer porcelain veneers as a solution to enhance the look of damaged or yellowed teeth.

Dr. Ajay Patel and our dental team understand the importance of tackling the day with a stunning smile. We’re dedicated to helping you achieve your smile goals from start to finish in the surrounding Allentown area. Read on to learn how our practice can help you achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of with porcelain veneers.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are a thin layer of tooth-shaped porcelain affixed to the front surface of your teeth. This strongly bonded porcelain covers a variety of imperfections and can improve the shape, color, and position of your teeth. Our veneers are designed to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth and can last for up to 10 to 15 years.

Although veneers use thin layers of porcelain, they become exceptionally strong and durable when bonded to your enamel. Your new veneers will fit with the natural contours of your teeth with minimal tooth reduction. At our Bethlehem office, our goal is to improve your self-confidence and personal satisfaction by creating a healthy, natural-looking smile.

  • Long-lasting restoration
  • Customized for your teeth
  • Stain-resistant
  • Natural appearance

Ideal Candidates for Veneers

Porcelain veneers are perfect for candidates who have a variety of cosmetic and structural issues with their teeth, such as:

  • Discolored or stained teeth
  • Crooked or misshapen teeth
  • Chipped or broken teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Worn-down teeth
  • Misaligned teeth

The Porcelain Veneers Process

Receiving your porcelain veneers is a quick and easy process that can be done right here at our Bethlehem office. To start, Dr. Patel will take a detailed impression of your teeth to create your custom veneers. He will choose the proper thickness of the enamel and design the perfect shape to complement your smile.

Once your veneers are ready, you’ll return to our Bethlehem office to have them placed. Before placement, Dr. Patel will make sure your fixtures are the right size, shape, and color. Then, he’ll securely place the veneers over your teeth and bond them together. After you and Dr. Patel decide it looks perfect, you’ll leave our office with a brand new smile.

Caring for Your Veneers

Once you have your veneers installed, you can take care of them just like your natural teeth. Although veneers aren’t a permanent solution, they can last up to 10 to 15 years with a proper oral hygiene regimen. To ensure longevity, Dr. Patel recommends following the instructions:

  • Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush
  • Floss daily
  • Rinse your mouth after every meal
  • Attend biannual visits at our Bethlehem office for professional cleanings and exams

Frequently Asked Questions

a. Is the porcelain veneer process painful?

The process of attaching your veneers isn’t painful, as attaching them to your teeth is minimally invasive, and completely non-surgical. Dr. Patel will make sure to numb the area before removing the minuscule amount of enamel necessary to make room for your veneers. Our staff will also make sure that you’re as comfortable as possible and that your dental experience stays pleasant.

b. What do I do if my veneers fall off or get damaged?

If your veneers fall off or get damaged, don’t attempt to fix them yourself. Instead, immediately call our Bethlehem office at (610) 861-0777 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Patel. In the meantime, rinse your veneers and place them in a small bag or container so you can bring them with you for your appointment. The good news is that replacing or fixing your veneers is an easy process that requires little to no inconvenience on your part.

What foods should I avoid with porcelain veneers?

There are certain foods and beverages you should be cautious of if you have porcelain veneers. Unlike your natural teeth, porcelain veneers don’t stain, so consuming certain foods and beverages can cause your smile to look inconsistent. To ensure they last, it’s best to avoid foods and drinks that stain your teeth, such as:

  • Tea
  • Coffee
  • Red wine
  • Soda
  • Berries
  • Tomato sauce

    Scott Kaas

    I very highly recommend Lasting Smiles! Everyone there is so friendly, professional and really knows their job whether it is with insurance, routine cleaning, or any kind of dental work. My appointments are always on time and that is very rare these days.

    Charissa West

    There is a reason this is one of the few top rated dentists in our area. I had to switch because of my insurance, so I read reviews for all the dentists in our area that participate with my insurance. There were only two that had a near perfect rating. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The exam and the cleaning were the most thorough I’ve ever had. The office was neat and clean with warm and comfortable decor. The two ladies at the front desk were so nice and welcoming and Linda was the friendliest and best hygienist I’ve had in my 38 years of going to various dentists around the country.

    Lauren M.
