At Dental Arts of Totowa, we know that the appearance of your smile affects both your health and your self-confidence.

What Can Veneers Fix?
Consider veneers if you’re interested in improving the appearance of your smile. Veneers can treat a variety of flaws and imperfections, including:
- Internal staining that doesn’t respond to teeth whitening
- Cracks and chips
- Disproportionately large gaps
- Minor crookedness
- Thin or small teeth
- Uneven teeth
Any combination of these flaws can be corrected at once with porcelain veneers, making them one of the most versatile options in cosmetic dentistry.
Improving Your Smile With Porcelain Veneers
Veneers from Dental Arts of Totowa can give you a stunning smile in just a few visits. When patients express interest in veneers, Dr. Mitelberg begins with a thorough examination, collecting information from exams, digital X-rays, and molds to determine the best course of action.
To prepare the teeth, Dr. Mitelberg removes a thin layer of enamel roughly equal to the thickness of the veneers. Although the amount is small, this step is important because veneers placed over unprepared teeth can look bulky.
In as little as two weeks, we receive your finished porcelain veneers from our trusted laboratory. Your teeth are then cleaned, polished, and dried before the thin porcelain shells are bonded permanently with dental cement. With good care, patients can expect their veneers to last up to fifteen years.
Also Offering Lumineers
If you’re interested in veneers but have concerns about the long-term commitment or preparation process, Lumineers may be the solution. Lumineers are ultra-thin and typically do not require removal of enamel. They are ideal for patients with undersized teeth, because they conserve your natural tooth structure while concealing its original size.

Veneers FAQs
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last up to fifteen years.
What is the difference between veneers and Lumineers?
Traditional veneers require removal of a thin layer of enamel, while Lumineers are ultra-thin and usually require little to no preparation.
How long does it take to get veneers?
Your custom veneers are typically ready in about two weeks after your preparation appointment.
Do veneers look natural?
Yes. Porcelain mimics the translucency and shine of natural enamel and is customized to your smile.
Can veneers fix gaps and crooked teeth?
Veneers can close small gaps and correct minor crookedness. More significant alignment issues may be better treated with Invisalign.
Do veneers stain?
Porcelain is highly stain-resistant, though good oral hygiene and regular cleanings help keep your veneers looking their best.
Are veneers permanent?
Traditional veneers are considered permanent because enamel is removed. Lumineers are often reversible since little or no enamel is altered.
