How Do Porcelain Veneers Work?

Initial Appointment and Examination

Dr. Johnson performs a thorough examination of your teeth and gums to ensure they are healthy and suitable for veneers. She will check for any underlying issues that need to be addressed before the veneer process. During this appointment, Dr. Johnson will discuss your aesthetic goals and what you hope to achieve with veneers. Her goal is to have the final result aligns with your expectations.

Enamel Reshaping

To prepare your teeth for veneers, a small amount of enamel is reshaped. This step is crucial for ensuring that the veneers fit properly and look natural. Dr. Johnson focuses on preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible while creating a smooth surface for the veneers.

Impression Taking

A digital impression of your teeth is taken to create a model for the custom veneers. We use the impressions to make veneers that the veneers fit perfectly and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. In some cases, temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth while the permanent ones are being crafted.

Custom Veneer Fabrication

Using the impression, custom veneers are crafted from high-quality, biocompatible porcelain. This material mimics the natural translucency and appearance of your teeth. Each veneer is carefully crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth, ensuring a natural and harmonious look.

Veneer Placement

Once the custom veneers are ready, they are bonded to your teeth using a biocompatible adhesive. The bonding will help the veneers fit perfectly over your teeth.

After placement, Dr. Johnson will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and bite. The veneers are then polished to give your smile a natural, luminous finish.

Biocompatible Materials for Optimal Health

At Brentwood Dental Designs, we prioritize your overall health and well-being in every treatment plan. Our veneers treatment includes the use of biocompatible materials that are safe, non-toxic, and harmonious with your body. 

By choosing materials that integrate seamlessly with your natural tissues, we minimize the risk of adverse reactions and promote optimal oral and systemic health.

Taking Care of Your New Veneers

When you have dental veneers placed, taking care of them is easy. Keep brushing with a non-abrasive, non-toxic toothpaste, which will continue to provide essential care for your mouth without damaging the teeth veneers.

To protect your investment and prolong the life of your veneers, we may recommend wearing thin clear retainers or a night guard to protect your dental work for years to come.
