Steps for Getting Porcelain Veneers
The first step is to discuss your smile goals with our cosmetic dentist. We want to understand your vision to ensure you will be delighted with the results.
First, we remove a thin layer of enamel from the teeth to ensure a proper fit when placing the restoration. Next, we take comfortable digital impressions to produce a detailed, 3-D model of the prepared teeth used to design your veneers. We’ll help you choose a shade that matches your smile and place temporaries to protect the prepared teeth.
A custom dental lab meticulously crafts the veneers, which takes two to three weeks. You will then return to Heritage Dental, where we check the veneers for quality, adjust them for a comfortable fit, and cement them securely on your teeth.
Do you wish your smile could be a little brighter, a little straighter, or more symmetrical? Porcelain veneers are a solution that can help you achieve these goals and provide a striking smile transformation.
