Will My Veneers Look Fake?

The thought of overly white, bulky, or “fake” teeth is a common concern for those considering porcelain veneers. At Rotem Dental Care, we understand this completely. The good news is that modern cosmetic dentistry, especially in the hands of a skilled professional like Dr. Ronen Rotem, one of New Jersey’s top dentists, has evolved far beyond the one-size-fits-all smiles of the past.

So, how do we ensure your veneers look completely natural? It’s a blend of science, artistry, and meticulous customization.

It Starts with Superior Materials

Today’s veneers are crafted from advanced porcelain and ceramic materials that masterfully mimic the properties of natural tooth enamel. The key is their translucency—the ability to let some light pass through. This quality prevents the flat, opaque look of older dental materials and gives veneers a lifelike depth and luster that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.

The Artistry of Smile Design

Creating a natural-looking smile is an art form. Dr. Rotem doesn’t just cover teeth; he designs a smile that complements your unique facial features. This process involves a detailed consultation where we discuss your goals and analyze your facial symmetry, lip line, and overall appearance. We consider every detail to create a result that enhances your natural beauty, rather than masking it.

Customization is Key

Your veneers are tailored specifically for you. We don’t rely on guesswork. The customization process includes:

  • Shade Matching: We select a shade that is bright and beautiful but also believable for your skin tone.
  • Shape and Length: Each veneer is shaped to fit the proportions of your face and smile.
  • Unique Texture: Natural teeth have subtle ridges and textures. We replicate these minor imperfections to ensure your veneers look authentic.

Precision from Start to Finish

Achieving a flawless fit requires precision. We use digital imaging to capture detailed impressions of your teeth. These images guide the minimal prep work needed and are sent to a top-tier dental lab where master ceramists craft your custom veneers. This close collaboration between Dr. Rotem and the lab ensures every detail, from the gum-line harmony to a comfortable bite, is perfected. A correct bite not only feels comfortable but also helps the veneers look and function just like natural teeth.

Are Veneers Right for You?

If you feel self-conscious about discoloration, chips, cracks, minor gaps, or physical trauma to your teeth, veneers can be an excellent cosmetic solution. They are designed to look and feel like your own teeth, restoring both function and appearance.

However, candidacy is important. Your gums and teeth must be healthy before proceeding. During your consultation, we can also discuss other options like dental bonding, professional whitening, or orthodontics to determine the best path for your specific needs.
