The Veneer Treatment Process: What to Expect
The journey to your perfect smile begins with a comprehensive consultation where your dentist evaluates your oral health, discusses your aesthetic goals, and determines if veneers are the right solution for you. Digital imaging and impressions are taken to create a precise treatment plan tailored to your unique facial features and smile characteristics.
During the preparation appointment, a minimal amount of enamel (typically 0.5mm) is carefully removed from the front surface of your teeth to accommodate the veneer thickness. Temporary veneers are placed to protect your teeth while your custom porcelain veneers are being crafted in a specialized dental laboratory, a process that typically takes 1-2 weeks.
The final appointment involves the precise placement and bonding of your custom veneers. Your dentist will carefully check the fit, color, and shape before permanently cementing them in place using advanced bonding techniques. The result is an immediately transformed smile that looks and feels completely natural.
