What’s the process to get Porcelain Veneers?

Initial Consultation:

During the initial dental consultation, we carefully evaluate your eligibility for dental veneers by discussing your concerns and desired outcomes.

We take into consideration the shape and shade of the veneers that would best complement your smile, ensuring a precise fit. Moreover, we address any inquiries or doubts you may have and explore alternative treatment options if necessary.

After the consultation, we present you with an initial treatment plan that outlines the proposed procedures, and we provide detailed information regarding the associated costs.

Preparation of Teeth:

After approval of your treatment plan, we proceed to take impressions of your teeth and capture pre-operative photos of your smile.

Next, we focus on preparing each tooth individually, ensuring that it is ready for the veneer placement. A mold of your teeth is created, taking into account the desired shape and size of the veneers. We present you with the design of the veneers, and if any adjustments are required, we make them promptly.

Once you are satisfied with the design of the veneers, temporary veneers are placed on the prepared teeth. Meanwhile, the molds and impressions are sent to a dental laboratory, where the actual veneers are manufactured.

Placement of veneers

Typically, the manufacturing process of dental veneers takes approximately 7 to 10 working days. Once the veneers are completed, we begin by thoroughly cleaning your prepared teeth and removing the temporary veneers.

Then, the final custom-made veneers are carefully placed and checked in your mouth. If required, adjustments are made in this stage for the perfect fit and look of the dental veneers.

Once you are completely satisfied with the veneers, the final restorations are permanently bonded to your teeth. From that point forward, you are ready to confidently showcase your beautiful new smile to the world.

How long do dental veneers last?

There is nothing specific. Sometimes, porcelain veneers last for 20 or more years, but you shouldn’t expect that they would last forever. By following good oral habits and taking care of dental veneers, you can significantly increase their lifespan.

Dental veneer care tips

Maintaining the optimal condition of your dental veneers is as simple as following a regular oral care routine and keeping up with dental check-ups. Brush and floss daily using soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste. Stay away from whitening products as they potentially cause scratches on the surface of your veneers.

For the longevity of your dental veneers, avoid biting directly into hard or crunchy foods like apples, carrots, and tough meats. We advise you to cut these foods into smaller pieces and chew them using your back teeth.

Dark-colored food items and beverages are not good for porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers resist stains but these things spoil them with time.
