At No Gaps Dental, our cosmetic dentists complete a comprehensive dental veneer process, including:
- Determining the health of your natural teeth
During your initial consultation, we will assess your oral health, discuss your cosmetic goals, and determine if teeth veneers are well suited to your needs. In evaluating your oral health, our dentist will take x-rays to determine if your teeth have healthy roots well suited to veneers. After all, there’s no point placing veneers on teeth that aren’t healthy. Any problem with tooth roots, such as gum disease, must be treated before veneers are applied.
Depending on the severity of gum disease, treatment could vary from improved tooth brushing techniques to periodontal surgery. Your dentist will provide a detailed quote in your initial consultation, including any extra costs associated with additional treatments.
Next, we will take detailed impressions of your teeth to create custom-made teeth veneers that fit your teeth precisely. Once your veneers are ready, we will schedule a follow-up appointment to apply the veneers to your teeth. During this process, a small amount of enamel is removed from your tooth’s front surface to ensure a proper fit. The veneers are then carefully bonded to your teeth using a strong adhesive, and any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure a comfortable and natural fit.
Once the veneers are in place, you can enjoy the immediate transformation of your smile. You will return to the dentist for a follow-up visit to ensure the veneers feel comfortable and are functioning properly. Your teeth will look naturally beautiful, giving you newfound confidence in your smile. With proper care, your dental veneers can last many years.
