The Porcelain Veneer Process at Post Falls Family Dental
At Post Falls Family Dental, we meticulously ensure your porcelain veneers meet your aesthetic goals and function seamlessly with your natural teeth.
1. Personalized Smile Design
Our journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, during which we discuss your desires and expectations. We believe in starting with the end in mind, so we first discover what possibilities exist and what you want your smile to look like. This personalized approach allows us to tailor the treatment plan to your needs.
2. Tooth Preparation
Once the smile design is finalized, we prepare your teeth for the veneers. This involves removing a small amount of enamel from the tooth surface to accommodate the veneer. The amount of enamel removed is minimal and is necessary to ensure a natural fit and appearance.
3. Impression Taking
After tooth preparation, we take precise impressions of your teeth. These impressions are sent to our dental laboratory, where skilled technicians craft your custom veneers to match the desired shape, size, and color.
4. Temporary Veneers
While your permanent veneers are being fabricated, we place temporary veneers to protect your prepared teeth and maintain aesthetics. These temporary changes allow you to get accustomed to the feel and look of your new smile.
5. Veneer Placement
Once your custom veneers are ready, we schedule an appointment for their placement. During this visit, we ensure the veneers fit perfectly and match your desired shade. After making the necessary adjustments, we bond the veneers to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive.
6. Final Adjustments and Polishing
After securely bonding the veneers, we make final adjustments to ensure a comfortable bite and natural appearance. The veneers are then polished to give them a lifelike luster.
