What are dental veneers?

Dental veneers offer a fantastic solution for enhancing the appearance of imperfect teeth. These ultra-thin coverings are meticulously crafted and skillfully adhered to the front surface of teeth, resulting in a seamless and natural-looking transformation. Veneers prove effective in concealing various imperfections such as misshapen teeth, minor chips, enamel irregularities, stains, and small gaps. Additionally, they can assist in addressing minor alignment concerns. A key advantage of veneers lies in their minimal requirement for natural tooth preparation, ensuring enduring results. Moreover, their slender composition preserves the maximum amount of natural tooth structure while being gentle on the gumline.

What to expect when getting veneers

Initial consultation and care

The initial step in the dental veneers process involves a consultation where we assess your dental health, oral functionality, and your desired smile aesthetics. Throughout this consultation, we'll delve into your smile aspirations and treatment expectations. Addressing any periodontal issues or cavities in the pertinent teeth before crafting your new veneers is crucial. Despite the veneer procedure being swift, prioritizing the health of your natural teeth beforehand is imperative.

Tooth preparation and Impression taking

The extent of tooth preparation needed for porcelain veneers varies based on the individual case and the type of veneer selected. Generally, a minimal amount of tooth structure from the front and sides is removed to preserve a natural and resilient appearance. Following tooth preparation, an impression is taken, and a specific porcelain shade is chosen. The veneers are subsequently crafted to custom-fit at a dental laboratory. Meanwhile, temporary veneer coverings are placed to safeguard the teeth until the permanent ones are ready.

Fitting and placement

Prior to affixing your veneers onto your teeth, a comprehensive evaluation of their fit, size, shade, and shape is imperative. Any essential adjustments will be meticulously made to guarantee a precise fit and the most aesthetically pleasing outcome. We're committed to ensuring your satisfaction with the appearance of your new smile. Once the veneers are precisely fitted and approved, we'll cleanse the designated teeth and securely bond the veneers using composite resin cement. Should there be a necessity for additional adjustments or refinements, they will be carried out post-placement to ensure perfection.
