Dental veneers are a popular cosmetic dental treatment that can transform your smile by covering imperfections such as stains, gaps, and misaligned teeth. One of the key decisions in the veneer process is selecting the right color and shape. Choosing the perfect shade and shape for your veneers can significantly impact the final result. In this blog, we’ll explore the considerations involved in making these decisions.

Dental Veneer Color Selection

Choosing the right shade for your veneers is essential to achieve a natural and beautiful result. During the consultation, we’ll be sure to go over this with you. However, it’s best to keep the following in mind:

Customization

Veneers can be customized to match your existing teeth or to achieve a whiter, brighter smile. Your dentist will provide shade options that best align with your goals, as well as your skin tone and eye color.

Natural Appearance

For the most natural look, it’s often best to choose a shade that isn’t overly white but blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. Subtle variations in color can mimic the appearance of real teeth.

Dental Veneer Shape Selection

The shape of your veneers is equally important, as it can enhance your smile and facial aesthetics. When helping patients select the right shape for dental veneers, we often go over the following:

Facial Features
Natural Appearance
Personal Preference

As somebody with pretty bad anxiety about the dentist, Doctor Dan made me feel very calm throughout getting one of my teeth pulled. It was also extremely quick, I didn’t even realize it was over. I’ve been a patient here for a while and have always felt comfortable in the atmosphere. Front desk staff, hygienists, and dentists are very kind.

Doc Dan and Jessica are simply brilliant as well as the rest of the crew … the whole facility is state of the art and the staff is friendly and accommodating. A+++++.

Yesterday was my first time at Queensbroro Dental and hands down the absolute best dental visit I have ever had. I had an emergency visit for a broken molar that was in really bad shape and had the pleasure of being treated by Dr.Dan. After some quick X-rays, Dr.Dan came in to tell me the harsh truth, the tooth must go and I needed a cavity in the next tooth to be taken care of as well. Dr.Dan presented me with three treatment options also demonstrating how each one worked which was amazing. Shortly after Angie one of the receptionist’s came in with the break down of all three plans with what insurance coverages and what I would end up paying. After some careful deliberation the choice to go with an implant was made and shortly after we began. Let me tell you for a man with many big muscles he was so so gentle I honestly didn’t feel a thing and both procedures were done before I even realized it. From front desk to the dentist and even the dental assistant everyone warmed my heart which is so very rare now a days sadly. They truly do care and I will absolutely be going back for further treatment

I had the best visit with dental hygienist Thinley. This was probably the best dental experience I’ve ever had. Her approach was so gentle and she had great bedside manner. I’ve never been had such a gentle cleaning. Usually I’m tense the entire visit and waiting for it to hurt but that didn’t happen at all today. She also explained everything so thoroughly, which I appreciated. The front staff are super friendly and Dr. Barayev was also really nice. 10/10 dental experience!

Excellent service. The receptionist Jazmin is literally so sweet and the reason I even ended up coming here. She helped me book an appointment and explained cost breakdowns in an easily digestible way. Dr Dan was also very thorough and was willing to answer all of my questions and provide clarity when needed. He was very gentle and talked me through everything he was doing. At checkout I was provided with all necessary paperwork and even a little dental care package with a toothbrush toothpaste and floss; I haven’t been to a dentist who has done that in a while so that was a nice surprise. I felt extremely comfortable and well taken care of which is important for me when it comes to any aspect of my health. I will definitely be back!

I want to take a moment to highlight and recognize your hygienist, Jessica. She is truly a gem and exceptional at what she does. Her attention to detail, passion for her work, and the empathetic touch she brings to each visit make getting my teeth cleaned an absolute pleasure. In all my years of dental cleanings, she is the best hygienist I’ve ever had, and she continues to leave a lasting impression. Thank you, Jessica!
