Cosmetic Dentistry

You may have any number of reasons for wanting to change your smile. You may want to correct problems you’ve had since childhood such as discolored, gapped, or crooked teeth. You may want to fix conditions you’ve developed over time, like cracked or worn-down teeth, to help create a more youthful smile. You may want a beautifully natural smile instead of your opaque white crowns, discolored old bonding or dark metallic fillings from past dental work.

At Paternina Dental Center of Long Island, our job is to determine the right cosmetic dentistry treatment for your specific problem. Today, there are a variety of techniques and materials that can correct these situations and make a real difference in your smile.
Porcelain Veneers

A popular choice, Ultra-thin porcelain veneers can correct chipped, weakened, or discolored teeth. No more yellow. No more gaps or embarrassing chips. And porcelain veneers can return real structural integrity to damaged teeth, while leaving them looking as good (or possibly better) than the originals.

Porcelain veneers are custom made to fit over your natural teeth, with a finish more translucent to blend in with surrounding teeth. So people won’t notice yourn tooth, they’ll simply see your beautiful, natural smile.
