Are you tired of being upset with your smile? Dental veneers are a popular cosmetic dental treatment used to enhance the appearance of teeth by correcting multiple dental imperfections at once. However, if you want veneers to transform your smile, you should understand the step-by-step process involved in getting the treatment.
Continue reading to explore each stage of the process of achieving a more confident grin with dental veneers!
1. Cosmetic Consultation
The first step in getting veneers is scheduling a consultation with your dentist. During this appointment, you’ll discuss your goals, concerns, and expectations for your smile makeover. Your dentist will then evaluate your oral health, assessing the condition of your teeth. If they give the green light, your treatment can begin!
2. Research Treatments
After confirming your candidacy for veneers, your dentist will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan. This plan outlines the number of veneers, their desired shape, size, and color, and any prep work needed before placement. This step is important to help keep your treatment on track and achieve the desired results.
3. Tooth Preparation
Before placement, a bit of enamel is removed from the front of your teeth to help the veneers lay flat. This process is minimally invasive and may only require local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Once the teeth are prepared, your dentist will take impressions of your teeth. These impressions are then sent to a partnered dental laboratory for fabrication!
In the meantime, your dentist will place some temporary veneers to protect your teeth and keep your smile looking nice.
4. Veneer Fabrication
Using the impressions, dental technicians will craft your custom veneers in a dental lab. Veneers are typically made from porcelain which offers great durability and a very natural appearance.
5. Placement and Adjustments
The final step is placing your veneers at one last appointment. Your dentist will carefully bond your veneers to the front of your teeth using a strong dental adhesive. Before bonding the veneers permanently, your dentist will ensure proper fit, alignment, and color match. You will have the final say if you’re satisfied.
By understanding the veneer treatment process, you can approach your smile makeover journey with both excitement and realistic expectations. If you’re considering veneers, consult with your dentist to learn more about how this transformative treatment can help you achieve your smile goals!
