They are designed\nto conceal most dental imperfections\u2014such as chipped, cracked, stained,\nmisshapen, and misaligned pearly whites. Since they\u2019re non-porous, they can\nalso offer a nearly permanent tooth whitening solution! But how does the veneer\nprocess go exactly? Keep reading to learn the step-by-step procedure for this\ncosmetic dental treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Initial Discussion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step will be to discuss and collaborate with your\ndentist during an initial consultation. During your visit, they\u2019ll assess your\ndental situation, understand your smile goals, and determine how best to\nachieve your desired results. This is also the time for you to ask as many\nquestions as you need, as you\u2019ll want to make sure your treatment will effectively\naddress your concerns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Previewing Your Future Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To give you a clearer idea of how your smile will look with\nveneers, your dentist may be able to create a life-size model of your pearly\nwhites. They can then shape wax over the replica to preview your results. Another\nmethod for this is for them to make acrylic trial veneers (or tooth-colored\nfilling substance) to place on your actual teeth. You won\u2019t be able to leave your\nvisit with these, but you might take a few photos to remember what your results\nwill look like! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparing Your Pearly Whites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you and your dentist are on the same page, your teeth\nwill need to be prepared for your veneers. They\u2019ll typically remove a small\nportion of your enamel so that the thin porcelain shells can be bonded to the\nfront of your pearly whites. Since this process is irreversible (as enamel won\u2019t\ngrow back), your dentist will ensure only to take off as little as necessary\ndepending on your treatment plan and smile goals. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Laboratory Fabrication<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After your teeth are prepared, you\u2019ll have impressions of\nthem made and sent to a dental lab for construction. During this waiting\nperiod, you\u2019ll be wearing temporary veneers, usually made out of acrylic. Not\nonly will these protect your exposed teeth, but they\u2019ll also serve as examples\nof how your veneers will fit. Your dentist will fine-tune your temporary\nveneers and send additional impressions to the lab to ensure that you\u2019re\ncompletely satisfied with the results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Placing Your Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When your final veneers are ready, you\u2019ll come back to the\noffice to have them bonded to your teeth with special cement. This process will\nessentially create tiny pores in both your natural pearly whites and the\nporcelain shells so that they firmly connect both surfaces. Your new teeth will\nbe so secure that it would take a laser or dental drill to take them off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve undergone these five steps, you can be sure to\nenjoy an entirely new smile for many years to come! Speak with your dentist if\nyou\u2019re interested, and they\u2019ll be glad to discuss your treatment options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Eduart Shkurti is an active member of several organizations\nlike the New York Dental Society and the American Dental Association.
