Procedure for Getting Veneers
1. Treatment planning
During your consultation, one of our dentists will examine your teeth, discuss your smile goals, and determine whether porcelain veneers are appropriate for you. They will explain the treatment process, answer your questions, and develop a personalized plan. Digital images, X-rays, impressions, or scans may be taken as needed to help plan your treatment.
2. Tooth Preparation
To prepare a tooth for a porcelain veneer, your dentist may remove a small amount of enamel from the front surface of the tooth to create space for the veneer. Local anesthetic can be used when appropriate for your comfort. An impression or digital scan is then taken and sent to a dental laboratory, where your custom veneer is created. Depending on your treatment plan, a temporary veneer may be placed while your final restoration is being made.
We will remove about 1/2 millimeters of enamel from the tooth surface, an amount nearly equal to the thickness of the veneer to be added to the tooth surface. Before trimming off the enamel, you and Dr. Patel will decide if you need a local anesthetic to numb the area. Next, we will make a model or impression of your tooth. This model is sent to a dental laboratory, which makes your veneer. It usually takes 1-2 weeks to receive the veneers from the laboratory. For unattractive teeth, temporary dental veneers can be placed at an additional cost.
3. Bonding
Before your porcelain veneer is permanently bonded, your dentist will evaluate its fit, shape, and shade and make adjustments as needed. The tooth is then carefully prepared, and the veneer is bonded into place using dental cement and a curing light.
After the veneer is secured, your dentist will check your bite and make any final adjustments. A follow-up visit may be recommended to evaluate your veneer, gums, and overall result.

FAQs
The cost of porcelain veneers varies depending on the number of teeth being treated, the complexity of your case, and your personalized treatment plan. We offer a free cosmetic consultation so you can discuss your goals and receive an estimate based on your specific needs.
Porcelain veneers do not require special daily care. Brush and floss regularly, maintain routine dental checkups and cleanings, and follow any care instructions provided by your dentist. Avoid habits that can damage veneers, such as biting ice, chewing on hard objects, or using your teeth to open packages. If you grind or clench your teeth, your dentist may recommend a night guard to help protect your veneers.
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last for many years. Their lifespan can vary depending on factors such as oral hygiene, bite forces, teeth grinding or clenching, and other habits. Regular dental checkups can also help your dentist monitor the condition of your veneers over time.
Porcelain veneers are securely bonded to your teeth, but they can occasionally become loose, damaged, or dislodged. To help protect your veneers, avoid biting or chewing on hard objects such as ice, pens, or fingernails, and never use your teeth to open packages. If you grind or clench your teeth, your dentist may recommend a night guard. If a veneer becomes loose or comes off, contact our office so we can evaluate it.
