Placing Dental Veneers

Your first step toward cosmetic enhancement with porcelain dental veneers is to meet with Dr. Shier to discuss your goals for treatment. At this time, you will receive a full consultation about the porcelain veneers procedure and determine what you can expect from treatment.

During your second office visit, your teeth will be prepared for your porcelain dental veneers. By lightly buffing the front surface of your teeth, approximately one-half-millimeter layer of enamel will be removed 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 complement your smile. Porcelain Dental Veneers can even be specially fitted to reshape crooked teeth that may otherwise require orthodontics.

The porcelain veneers are then placed on your teeth in your third, and final, office visit. At this time, we will be able to precisely match the color of your dental veneers to your surrounding teeth. 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-lasting smile with your new porcelain veneers.

What Will My Porcelain Veneers Look Like?

The glass-like ceramic that forms porcelain veneers closely resembles natural tooth enamel. This is because, much like real tooth enamel, porcelain veneers are translucent. This translucent effect is what gives teeth their luster. Porcelain dental veneers provide patients with bright, natural looking smiles.

Porcelain dental veneers can also cover and repair cracked and chipped teeth. Because porcelain veneers are custom made and fitted to your teeth, you can customize and improve much more than just the color of your teeth. Crooked and chipped teeth can have their appearances improved to give you a beautiful new smile.
