At our office, the process for getting veneers typically involves four visits. We usually recommend ten veneers because that’s typically the number of teeth that show when you smile.
The first visit is what we call the diagnostic appointment. During this visit, we’ll take impressions, photos, and X-rays, and conduct a thorough examination to ensure that you are a suitable candidate for veneers.
At the second visit, we’ll prepare your teeth and provide you with temporary veneers to wear while your permanent ones are being fabricated.
During the third visit, we’ll try in your veneers to ensure they fit and look as expected. If everything is satisfactory, we’ll proceed to cement them onto your teeth.
The fourth visit involves a bite check to ensure that your new veneers are properly aligned and functioning correctly. Afterward, we recommend regular recall visits every six months for maintenance.
Using the photos taken during the diagnostic appointment, we create a 2D smile design to communicate our vision for your final veneers to the lab. This helps us ensure that you achieve the best possible cosmetic outcome.
