What Are Dental Veneers?
Think of dental veneers like the façade on a building. All of that exterior brick and stonework hides the less visually appealing structural elements like ductwork and framing. While dental veneers aren’t made from brick or stone (but from high-quality porcelain), they are essentially thin, shell-like facades that are placed overtop the front-facing surface of your teeth. Patients love that achieving a Hollywood-esq smile can be that simple and quick!
The Process of Getting Veneers
The first step is meeting with one of our cosmetic dentists for a consultation. This allows our team to get to know you and your smile goals so we can provide results you’ll love. We’ll also examine your existing pearly whites to get a good sense of your oral situation. If something might interfere with your veneers, we’ll discuss the best approach for taking care of it. That way you can be confident in your oral health and the success of your veneers.
Placing dental veneers aesthetically does require removing a sliver of enamel. This layer will essentially be replaced by your new veneers, meaning that your teeth will still be well-protected. It’s a safe, minimally invasive process. Patients with weakened enamels can actually experience less dental sensitivity thanks to the durable porcelain!
Finally, we’ll take digital impressions of your teeth and send them to a dental lab. While the technicians work on creating a picture-perfect set of veneers, we’ll fit you with a temporary set, so your pearly whites don’t have to go without protection. Your next follow up will involve adhering your veneers and polishing off your new smile.
