What Makes Porcelain Veneers Different?

Think of veneers as customized covers for your teeth. Our doctors carefully design each one to match your facial features, skin tone, and the natural teeth around them. The process involves precision and artistry, which is why having an in-house dental lab makes such a difference. We control every detail, from shade to shape, ensuring your results look authentic.

Porcelain veneers work differently from crowns or bonding. They require minimal tooth preparation, which means we preserve more of your natural tooth structure. The translucent quality of porcelain mimics real enamel, catching light the same way your natural teeth do. That’s what creates that “wow, those look real” reaction.

Problems Veneers in Manlius Solve

Our experienced team uses veneers to address multiple cosmetic concerns at once:

Discoloration That Won’t Budge

Some stains run too deep for whitening treatments. Teeth darkened by medications, root canals, or excessive fluoride respond beautifully to veneers. You get the bright smile you want without the sensitivity that sometimes comes with bleaching.

Chips and Cracks

Life happens. Sports injuries, grinding habits, or biting something hard can damage teeth. Veneers restore both function and appearance, making damaged teeth look whole again.

Gaps Between Teeth

Diastemas—those spaces between teeth—bother many people. Veneers close gaps without orthodontics, giving you faster results when you want them.

Misshapen or Worn Teeth

Years of grinding can wear teeth down to nubs. Teeth that never grew to full size can look out of proportion. Veneers rebuild and reshape, creating balance in your smile.

The “Instant Orthodontics” Option

Crooked teeth don’t always require years in braces. For mild to moderate misalignment, veneers can create the appearance of straight teeth in just a few visits. This approach particularly appeals to adults who want results without the time commitment of traditional orthodontics.

Your Veneer Journey at Manlius Dental Group

Initial Consultation Dr. Revercomb, Dr. Yeager, Dr. Zak, or Dr. Wagner will examine your teeth and discuss your goals. We’ll talk about what bothers you most about your current smile and what you hope to achieve. Digital imaging helps you preview potential results before we start.

Preparation We remove a thin layer of enamel—usually less than a millimeter—to make room for the veneers. This step ensures they don’t look bulky or feel thick. We take detailed impressions and work with our in-house lab to craft your custom veneers.

Temporary Veneers You won’t walk around with exposed teeth. We provide temporary veneers that protect your teeth and give you a preview of your new smile while the permanent ones are being created.

Final Placement Once your custom veneers arrive from our lab, we’ll check the fit, shape, and color. After any final adjustments, we bond them permanently to your teeth using a special adhesive and curing light. The transformation happens right before your eyes.

Veneers in Manlius: Long-Term Care

Your new veneers need the same care as natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss once, and see us for regular checkups. Avoid using your teeth as tools—don’t open packages or bite your nails. If you grind your teeth at night, we’ll make you a custom nightguard to protect your investment.

The stain-resistant quality of porcelain means you won’t need to give up coffee or red wine, though moderation helps everything last longer. With proper care, your veneers should serve you well for many years.

Beyond Veneers: Complete Smile Solutions

Veneers often play a starring role in smile makeovers, but they’re just one tool in our cosmetic dentistry arsenal. Some patients combine veneers with whitening for untreated teeth, or with implants if they’re missing teeth. Our comprehensive procedures enable us to create coordinated treatment plans that address all your concerns simultaneously.

Investment in Your Confidence

Quality veneers represent a significant investment in yourself. We offer dental savings plans that make treatment more accessible. During your consultation, we’ll discuss all costs upfront—no surprises, no pressure.

Many patients tell us their only regret is waiting so long to get veneers. The psychological impact of loving your smile affects everything from job interviews to first dates. When you stop hiding your teeth, you show up differently in the world.

Amazing dentist and amazing employees, we definitely found a new dentist office. It’s definitely worth coming from Town of Clay to Manlius ! Trish Guido.

I hadn't been to the dentist for a very long time and had horrible pain in one tooth, next to one I had lost many years ago. I don't generally trust medical professionals for many reasons, but every single person I encountered treated me with such respect and compassion and explained everything - from what likely had happened to treatment to cost and WHY - and what my options were in great detail. Dr. Yeager was so kind and approachable. 100/10; the entire staff was incredible. Thank you so much!

It is rare to have such a seamless experience at ANY business these days, let alone a dental practice. Every single touchpoint was flawless, from the initial call to the follow-up contact to the quality if care and chairside manner of every one of the practitioners our three family members encountered. Our assessments were extremely thorough--more than any I've ever experienced--and efficient without feeling rushed. One of our family members has a disability and sensory issues that require informed care and another is genuinely phobic about any dentistry, but the experience was so gentle and reassuring--especially with sedation options as-needed--that even our most reluctant family members are now willing to have the medical care they have avoided for too long. We are immensely grateful for the entire team at Manlius Dental Group and recommend them unreservedly!

Had an amazing experience at this dental group! I would highly recommend. Not only was i a brand new patient they took the time to explain everything to me and was extremely caring

Shannon J

I am so pleased with this dental practice! I had some work done to update some fillings in Buffalo (where I live) and was experiencing severe sensitivity and pain from that work so in an effort to fix my issue I got a glowing recommendation for Dr. Jake Revercomb in Syracuse and drove the 5+ hours for a consultation. He and his staff are absolutely wonderful - so personable and intelligent and they took the time to explain everything to me. We came up with a treatment plan and a month later I drove the 5+ hours again to have the fillings re-done! My teeth feel so much better and I am so ecstatic with the results after not being able to chew on the right side of my mouth for months. Couldn't recommend Manlius Dental, Dr. Revercomb, and the wonderful staff more! Would happily drive 5+ more hours a third time if needed (but thankfully that is not the case)!

Trinity R

Both my husband and myself are treated at this office and it has been a wonderful experience. The doctors, hygienists, assistants, and administrators are kind, thorough, and competent in their roles. The office itself is up to date and very clean. This practice keeps up to date on technology and continuing education which gives us confidence that we will always be getting the best care. Highly recommend.

Paul M

I have been a patient for the past 23 years during that time, the staff and service has always been excellent and extremely attentive to my dental health. Today I had a crown done, not my first, and for whatever reason was a bit nervous heading into the procedure. Dr. Wagner and Sarah were exceptional in easing my angst and turned the day into a fun and relaxing experience. Thank you both as well as the entire staff at Manlius Dental Group for being so focus on delivering a wonderful experience for your patients!

The Manlius Dental group is extraordinary! From the folks at the front desk to the hygienists, dental assistants and dentists the care and information provided is excellent. I had an issue and the Dental Assistant was very knowledgeable and took great care to make sure I was doing fine while having x-rays etc. The Dentist and the Assistant who saw me were both informative and knowledgeable and made sure that all was well during my visit! Checking out the staff at the front desk were helpful made sure I had further appointment setup. They also assisted me with sending documentation to my insurance. A finely tuned office all the way around! John S.
