What is the process?
Initial Consultation: The process begins with an initial consultation where we assess your dental health, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if veneers are the right solution for you.
Tooth Preparation: During the first appointment, a small amount of enamel is removed from the surface of your teeth to make room for the veneers. Impressions of your teeth are then taken to create custom veneers.
Temporary Veneers: Temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth and provide an idea of the final result while your permanent veneers are being made in the lab.

FAQ

How do dental veneers work?
-
What types of dental veneers are available?
There are two main types of dental veneers: porcelain and composite resin. Porcelain veneers are most well-known for their durability, stain resistance, and natural appearance. Conversely, composite resin veneers offer a cost-effective solution that can be applied in a single visit, although they may not have the same longevity as porcelain veneers.
-
Are there any post-treatment limitations to veneers?
Yes, there are some post-treatment limitations to veneers that you should be aware of to ensure their longevity and maintain your oral health:
- Avoid Hard and Sticky Foods: Biting into hard foods like ice, nuts, or hard candies, and chewing on sticky foods like caramel can damage or dislodge veneers. It’s important to avoid these types of foods to protect your veneers.
- No Teeth Grinding: If you grind or clench your teeth (bruxism), this can put excessive pressure on the veneers and cause them to crack or chip. Consider using a night guard to protect your veneers while you sleep.
- Good Oral Hygiene: Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day with a non-abrasive toothpaste and flossing daily. While veneers themselves are not prone to decay, the underlying tooth structure can still develop cavities and gum disease if not properly cared for.
- Avoid Staining Agents: Although veneers are more resistant to stains than natural teeth, it’s still advisable to limit the consumption of staining agents like coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco to keep your veneers looking their best.
- Regular Dental Checkups: Visit your dentist regularly for checkups and professional cleanings. This helps monitor your veneers’ condition and the health of your natural teeth and gums.
- Use Teeth as Tools: Avoid using your teeth to open packages, bite your nails, or perform any tasks that could put undue stress on your veneers.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your veneers remain in excellent condition and continue to enhance your smile for many years.
