The Veneer Process
Getting veneers is a straightforward process that involves several key steps. Here’s what you can expect when you choose veneers at Crescent Family and Cosmetic Dentistry:
Step 1: Consultation and Evaluation
During your initial consultation, we will evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals for enhancing your smile. We’ll take X-rays or digital images to assess the condition of your teeth and gums and review your medical history to ensure that veneers are the right solution for you.
If you have any existing dental issues, such as cavities or gum disease, we may recommend addressing those first to ensure the best possible outcome.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation
We’ll begin preparing your teeth once we decide that veneers are right for you. This involves removing a small amount of enamel from the tooth’s surface to accommodate the veneers. This step ensures that the veneers fit properly and look natural.
Sometimes, local anesthesia may be used to ensure you’re comfortable during the procedure.
Step 3: Impressions and Customization
Next, we’ll take impressions of your teeth, which will be used to create custom veneers that fit your smile perfectly. The impressions are sent to a dental lab, where skilled technicians craft your veneers using high-quality materials. This process typically takes about one to two weeks.
While you’re waiting for your permanent veneers, we may provide you with temporary veneers to wear.
Step 4: Veneer Placement
Once your custom veneers are ready, you’ll return to Crescent Family and Cosmetic Dentistry for the final placement. During this visit, we’ll carefully place the veneers on your teeth to ensure a proper fit and natural appearance and make necessary adjustments to ensure your veneers align properly with your bite.
Once satisfied with the fit and appearance, the veneers will be bonded to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive.
