Dental veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry treatment that can transform the appearance of your teeth. They are thin porcelain covers that are placed over the front of your natural teeth to mimic their look and shape. Veneers can be used for a variety of purposes, including to protect a damaged or vulnerable tooth, cover a cracked or chipped tooth, or improve the appearance of a stained or discolored tooth. The process for getting porcelain dental veneers typically involves several steps. During your first visit, our team will examine your teeth and determine if veneers are a good option for you. If so, we will prepare your teeth by numbing the tooth and gums before removing a thin portion of the tooth to make way for the veneer. The surface of your tooth may also be roughened to achieve a stronger hold when the resin is added, a process known as “etching”.
Next, we will take a dental impression of your prepared teeth, which will be sent to a dental lab to create custom-made veneers. In the meantime, you may receive a temporary veneer to wear while your permanent veneer is being made. Once your permanent veneer is ready, you will return to our office for the second visit. Your temporary veneer will be removed and the permanent veneer will be secured using composite resin. Our skilled dentists will make any necessary final adjustments, such as filing down the veneer to be a closer match to your surrounding teeth.
It’s important to note that veneers may not be the right solution for everyone. They are generally not recommended for people with tooth decay, gum disease, weakened teeth, low-enamel levels, or who grind their teeth. At Smile Dental, we are dedicated to providing you with attentive, personalized care throughout your veneers treatment. Our team will take the time to answer your questions and address your concerns, so you can feel confident and informed about your dental care.
