What Are Porcelain Veneers?
What Can Porcelain Veneers Treat?
Porcelain veneers can treat several types of cosmetic flaws that affect the anterior teeth. Aesthetic issues or restorative problems affecting the pre-molars and molars are best treated with crowns.
A chipped tooth affects the balance and symmetry of your smile. Dental veneers extend the length and width of the damaged tooth to improve the look of your smile.
Coffee, wine, cigarettes, and certain medications are just some of the causes of tooth stains. Deep-set dental stains can be covered with a full set of porcelain veneers.
Dr. Hirschfield commonly places veneers to close the gap between the two front teeth. A full set of veneers can also be used when there are gaps between most of the teeth.
Mild to moderate misalignment issues such as crooked or twisted teeth can be addressed by filing down the natural tooth and placing veneers that sit flush with one another.
Misshaped or small teeth can make the teeth appear disproportionate and misaligned. Veneers can be designed and crafted to makeover your smile and overall appearance.

Dr Hirshfield and the team at Lakeview dental are great. They fit me right in the next day for a cracked cap and took care of it.

I had a very good visit with Dr.Hirschfield. He took plenty of time to review my dental records and explain his approach to dental care.
The Porcelain Veneers Treatment Process
Veneers are a quick and effective smile makeover option.
How Long Do Veneers Last?
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last for 15 years or more. To prevent premature wear or breakage, follow these simple instructions:
Brush
Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
Toothpaste
Use sensitive or gel formula toothpaste; avoid whitening or abrasive toothpastes that can scratch the surface of your veneers over time.
Floss
Floss your teeth at least once daily.
Exams
Attend dental exams and professional cleanings every six months.
Avoid
Avoid bad habits such as using your teeth to open bottles or biting on your fingernails.

My experience at lake view dental was incredible. The staff was extremely helpful and patient and Dr. Hirschfield went above and beyond my expectations. My anxiety and fear of dentists has subsided due to the friendliness and down to earth atmosphere this dental office offers.

Dr. Hirshfield and Nicole went over their findings after a cleaning regarding a tooth that needed work and ultimately, a crown. The entire procedure was explained to me in terms I could understand, and when I arrived for the prep visit, it was an excellent experience. No pain, no problems, and the temporary that was placed was comfortable immediately. Thanks to everyone for a positive dental experience, you rock!
Crowns vs. Porcelain Veneers
The Front Teeth
Patients should have dental crowns placed if the front teeth are not strong and healthy enough to support veneers. For example, if you have large fillings or a significant portion of the tooth has become worn or chipped, crowns may be a better option.
The Back Teeth
Veneers are strictly a cosmetic dentistry treatment, so they are never used on the back teeth. If we need to improve the appearance or health of the pre-molars or molars, the placement of crowns or composite bonding material are more suitable options.
