What to Expect During Your Veneer Procedure
- Posted on: Jun 15 2023
Whether your teeth were stained from birth and don’t respond to whitening or you’ve been living with a gap in your teeth for as long as you can remember, porcelain veneers from Smile Texas could give you the smile you’ve always dreamed of having. Dental veneers are a great way to quickly and dramatically improve your smile in just two easy visits!
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Because we are dedicated to giving you the best quality at Smile Texas, we offer custom made all-porcelain veneers to make your teeth sparkle. Our veneers are placed over your tooth to give you a straight, white stunning smile that still looks natural. We use the World’s leading porcelain veneer dental lab in Hollywood California to make your custom all-porcelain veneers.
Initial Consultation
During your first visit to Smile Texas, you will go through a consultation with one of our experienced cosmetic dentists about what you like and don’t like about your smile. At this appointment we can discuss size, color, and the overall look you want for your new smile. We have many previous case photos to show you to help you see the smile you want. At this appointment we will also give you an all-inclusive case fee for your smile makeover. If you choose to move forward, we can schedule your first procedural appointment.
Procedural Appointment 1 is the prep-appointent
To accomodate your new all-porcelain veneers, it is often necessary to make some reductions to your natural teeth. Naturally, we do as little reduction as possible so that your natural teeth provide the strongest possible foundation for the veneers which will be permanently bonded over the prepared teeth. When the teeth are prepared, we take a digital impression of all the teeth to send to our dental lab. Then, we place a beautiful temporary restoration over the teeth to protect them until your veneers are made and ready to place.
Procedural Appointment 2 is the seating of your permanent veneers
In the second procedural appointment, we remove the temporary restoration and place your veneers tooth by tooth. The veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth and now provide a protective shield against future staining or decay. Your new veneers are as strong and durable as your natural teeth and with proper care can last indefinitely. Finally, it’s time to look in the mirror and see your beautiful new permanent smile.
After the Procedure
After each of your procedural appointments you may feel some tenderness in the gum tissues. This can usually be managed with ibuprofen and only lasts a day or so. You continue to brush and floss your new smile regularly and wear a mouth guard if you are participating in contact sports. Naturally you should avoid biting into hard objects as your would with your natural teeth.
