The Porcelain Veneers Process
Consultation
Before deciding whether porcelain veneers are right for you, your Carson cosmetic dentist will conduct a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums to ensure proper health, as well as talk with you about your oral hygiene and lifestyle habits to determine if you will benefit from veneers. This will help you and your dentist agree on whether or not veneers are best for you.
Preparation
To prepare for veneers, Dr. Aluning will remove a small amount of tooth enamel from the front surface of the affected teeth. This is necessary to ensure a proper fit and to create space for the veneer material.
Impression
After the teeth are prepared, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth to create a custom mold for the veneers. This mold will be sent to a dental laboratory where your veneers will be crafted.
Veneers Placement
Once the customized veneers are ready, your dentist will carefully place them onto the front surface of your teeth using a special dental adhesive. The dental veneers will be adjusted and polished to ensure a natural-looking and comfortable fit.
