Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They’re a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure that can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile. If you’re considering getting veneers, it’s important to understand what the procedure entails before, during, and after the appointment.

 

Before the Procedure

• Consultation – Your first step will be a consultation with your dentist. During this consultation, your dentist will discuss your goals for treatment and examine your teeth to determine if veneers are right for you. They will also discuss the different types of veneers available and help you choose the best option for your needs.

• Planning – Once you’ve decided to move forward with veneers, your dentist will take X-rays and impressions of your teeth. These will be used to create custom veneers that fit perfectly and look natural.

• Preparation – In some cases, your dentist may need to prepare your teeth for veneers. This may involve removing a small amount of enamel from the surface of your teeth. This is to make room for the veneers.

 

During the Procedure

 

The veneer placement process usually takes one or two appointments.

 

First Appointment:

• If you’re getting traditional porcelain veneers, your dentist will numb your teeth and then remove a small amount of enamel.

• They will then take impressions of your teeth and send them to a lab to create your custom veneers.

• You may be fitted with temporary veneers to wear while your permanent veneers are being made.

Second Appointment:

• Once your permanent veneers are ready, your dentist will remove your temporary veneers and bond the permanent veneers to your teeth.

• They will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments.

After the Procedure

After your veneers are placed, you may experience some mild sensitivity or discomfort. This is normal and should subside within a few days. Your dentist will give you instructions on how to care for your veneers, which includes brushing twice daily, flossing once a day and avoiding hard foods.

 

What to Expect in Terms of Results

Veneers can give you a beautiful, natural-looking smile. They can correct a variety of cosmetic dental problems, chipped or broken teeth, discoloured teeth, gaps between teeth etc. Veneers are a durable cosmetic dentistry solution that can last for many years with proper care.
