Veneers are an increasingly popular cosmetic dentistry technique. Commonly referred to as Hollywood Veneers, there are many rumors out there… Let’s demystify some of them!

MYTH: Hollywood Veneers are a type of tooth veneer

FACT: Veneers were invented in California by dentist Dr. Charles Pincus. They were very temporary and often fell off in a very short time. Veneers were developed as a fast way to change the appearance of actors’ teeth, hence the Hollywood association.

MYTH: Veneers come in one color: white

FACT: Veneers can be custom matched to any color/shade of white, mimicking the rest of your teeth and to your skin tone and overall desire tooth color.

MYTH: Porcelain is the name of a type of Dental Veneer

FACT: Actually, veneers are made with actual porcelain. Why? The enamel of your teeth and dental porcelain are the same in appearance and the way they react to light. Porcelain is semi-translucent and it has a similar white shine to that of teeth. Also, porcelain is used because of its strength, stain resistance and durability.

MYTH: Tooth Veneers can't be reversed

FACT: Getting veneers does not have to be a permanent treatment. In fact, they are completely reversible because there’s no grinding down of healthy tooth structure below (in most cases). Your natural teeth are intact and strong if you ever decide to remove them.

i have gone to 3 dentists in philadelphia for different consults on how to fix my teeth. hands down dr. eidelson was the most reasonable but beyond that he sat down with me and explained my options. he actually suggested the less expensive option which tells me that he isn't a money hungry dentist like the 2 others i went to but really cares about his patients. 2 thumbs up!

They make me feel welcomed every time. The scenery is warm and inviting, they have a coffee machine, snacks and a water cooler. They also have an abundance of up to date magazines. The cleanliness of the office is close to immaculate, the coffee is freshly brewed (and free), and everyone is friendly. I can't speak on anyone else's behalf, but as far as my opinion goes, I haven't had any bad experiences when I come get work done on my teeth.
