Getting dental veneers is a multistep process that requires careful planning and collaboration with your dentist. Veneers are thin shellsusually made of porcelain or composite resin that cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. Steps to get Dental Veneers at our office 1. Initial Consultation. Discussion of your goals, exam and evaluate your oral health and determine if veneers are appropriate. 2. Treatment Planning Mockup or digital preview presentation so you can see what your smile could look like. 3. Tooth preparation A small amount of enamel 0.30.7 mm is removed from the front surface of each tooth. Temporary veneers are placed. 4. Veneer Bonding. Removed the temporary veneers, cleaned your teeth and check the fit, shape and color of your new veneers, and cemented in place afterward. 5. Followup Visit. A short appointment 12 weeks later ensures everything is comfortable and functioning properly. AFTERCARE AND MAINTENANCE Brush and floss daily with nonabrasive products. Avoid biting on hard items ice pens, fingernails. Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth. Visit your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings.
To Whom It May Concern: The most important aspect of getting a veneer (or veneers) is the consultation! Meet the doctor and express your desires and he or she can then help you plan for the best result. Sometimes that involves study models so that we can preplan the result in wax and plan to make a temporary in the proposed shape so you have a "trial run" so to speak while the veneer is being made in the lab. The other option is if your doctor can make them in office and you both agree on the final outccome and it is
Well a consultation with a dentist to assess shade, shape and color and the way you bite. Start with consult, get photos and have good dialogue.
