The 5-step Process of Transforming Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers

Our office is led by a dentist renowned for her exceptional results and passion for the art and science of dentistry. Recognizing that dental veneers are not universally suitable, we customize your treatment to suit the individual characteristics of your smile. We carefully consider factors such as the size, shape, and color of your teeth, personality, facial features, and gum color to create a bespoke smile makeover that is uniquely yours.

Here’s what you can expect from your veneer treatment.

1. Consultation: Expect a collaborative process where we actively involve you at every step to ensure we meet and exceed your expectations. We always start your treatment with a consultation to understand your smile concerns and goals. Next, the dentist examines your smile to establish that veneers are the best treatment. Any cavities and oral infections must be treated before starting your treatment.

2. Tooth preparation: The dentist will prepare your teeth by grinding down a small amount of the enamel, usually 0.5mm or less. This tooth preparation allows your veneers to sit flat against other teeth, eliminating an unnatural or bulky appearance.

3. Veneer fabrication: The dentist will take precise scans of your teeth, which our partner lab will use to custom-make your veneers. Once the lab receives your digital records, they use them as a blueprint for handcrafting each of your veneers, considering the exact specifications of your teeth. Until your veneers are ready, we’ll protect your prepped teeth with temporary restorations.

4. Veneer placement: Once your veneers are prepared, you will return to our office for the placement procedure. We’ll check your veneers to ensure they match your expectations, making any necessary adjustments to ensure they look natural and fit comfortably. Once you are satisfied with the results, we will permanently bond the veneers to your teeth, instantly transforming your smile.

5. Aftercare: We’ll give you instructions on how to take care of your investment. The good news is that veneer maintenance is similar to caring for natural teeth. You only need to brush and floss your teeth daily and visit a dentist bi-annually for dental check-ups and cleanings. Lastly, avoid biting on hard substances and wear a personalized mouthguard if you brux your teeth.
