Veneers

Placing Porcelain Veneers

When you choose porcelain veneers to improve the aesthetics of your teeth, you will be able to enjoy your new smile in a matter of weeks. This procedure requires two appointments. At your first visit, Dr. Smith will prepare your teeth. We usually remove a small amount of enamel during the tooth preparation process. We will preserve your tooth structure as much as possible. During this appointment, we will also create temporaries for you to wear while a custom dental lab fabricates your veneers. Wearing your temporary veneers gives you both the look and feel of your new smile to test out. This also lets you identify any adjustments or changes you’d like to make.

After one to two weeks, when your final restorations are ready, you’ll return to Smith Dentalworks to have them placed. Dr. Smith will make any adjustments that are needed to ensure that your bite functions correctly and you’ve achieved your desired results.

Once your veneers are in place, you can brush, floss, and eat as you normally would. They are just as strong, and sometimes even more durable, than natural tooth enamel.
