Procedure for Dental Veneers Treatment
Your first step toward cosmetic enhancement
with dental veneers is to meet with a certified cosmetic dentist and discuss
your goals for treatment. At this time, the dentist will provide you with a
full consultation about the dental veneers procedure and determine what you
can expect from treatment.
Your teeth will be prepared for your porcelain dental veneers. By lightly buffing
the front surface of your teeth, a experienced cosmetic dentist will remove
an approximately 0.5-1.5 mm layer of enamel from the front of your teeth. The
wafer-thin porcelain veneers will eventually be set in place of this enamel.
A mold is then taken of your teeth. From this mold, your porcelain veneers will
be custom made to fit your teeth and compliment your smile. Porcelain dental
veneers can even be specially fit to reshape crooked teeth that may otherwise
require orthodontics.
Dental veneers are then placed on your teeth in your next visit. At this time,
your dentist will be able to precisely match the color of your dental veneers
to your surrounding teeth. If you are having porcelain veneers placed on all
of your teeth, your dentist will be able to provide you with an appropriate
color that has both a beautiful luster and a realistic appearance. After the
fit and color of your dental veneers are ensured to be to your liking, the adhesive
is hardened using a special light. You then have a bright, long-lasing smile
with your new porcelain veneers.
