Dental Veneers in Denville NJ are a relatively new cosmetic dentistry alternative to dental crowns or teeth straightening procedures, and can give you a beautiful, bright smile in place of stained, chipped, broken, worn down, undersized, crooked or misaligned teeth. Also called dental porcelain laminates, teeth veneers are wafer-thin shells that are bonded onto the front side of the teeth, and have a completely natural appearance. Dental veneers can repair just about any minor tooth imperfection or defect, and in some cases, veneers can even provide an alternative to orthodontic treatment. Veneers can also be used to make color changes for teeth that have become permanently stained or discolored. Teeth can become discolored due to the use of tetracycline or other medications, exposure to excessive fluoride, or due to root canal treatment. The presence of large resin fillings from previous dental work can also discolor the teeth.

We would like to take this opportunity to provide some background on Dr. Joelle Hirschfeld as the newest addition to AFDPA
