What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells placed on the front of your teeth. They enhance the appearance of your teeth by changing their color, shape, size, or length. Custom-made to match your natural teeth, veneers provide a subtle and effective solution for various cosmetic issues.
What the Treatment Involves
- Consultation – During your first visit, we'll check your dental health and talk about your smile goals. We'll take x-rays and maybe some photos to plan your treatment.
- Tooth preparation – We carefully remove a small amount of enamel from your teeth to help the veneers fit properly. This step is minimal and helps the veneers stick well.
- Impressions – Our dentist in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, will take impressions of your prepared teeth to create custom veneers. These impressions are sent to a dental laboratory where your veneers are crafted.
- Temporary veneers – While your custom veneers are being made, we may place temporary veneers to protect your teeth and maintain your appearance.
- Fitting and bonding – Once your veneers are ready, we will fit them to ensure they align properly and make any necessary adjustments. After confirming the fit and appearance, we bond the veneers to your teeth using a special adhesive.
- Final adjustments – We check your bite and make any final adjustments to ensure your veneers feel comfortable and look natural.
