What Is the Process of Dental Veneers?

Step 1. Initial Smile Design

The journey to your new smile begins with an initial smile design consultation. During this phase, we gather all the necessary records, including X-rays and photos, to ensure we have a comprehensive understanding of your dental health and aesthetic goals. This step is crucial for making the correct diagnosis and planning your treatment effectively.

Step 2. Custom Smile Design by a Master Ceramist

Once we have all the information, our master ceramist steps in. Think of our ceramist as your smile architect, meticulously designing the shape of your new smile to harmonise with your facial features. The goal is to create veneers that look natural and enhance your overall appearance.

Step 3. Preparing Your Teeth

After the design is finalised, you will come in for the preparation stage. We will numb the area to ensure your comfort and then reshape your teeth slightly to make space for the new veneers. This reshaping is minimal but necessary to ensure that the veneers fit perfectly and look natural.

Step 4. Taking 3D Scans

Following the reshaping, we take detailed 3D scans of your teeth. These scans are sent to our master ceramist, who will begin crafting your new veneers based on the precise measurements and design.

Step 5. Provisional Veneers

In the meantime, we create provisional veneers and place them onto your teeth. These temporary veneers give you a preview of your new smile and allow us to make any necessary adjustments. A few days later, you will return for a follow-up appointment to check the size and shape of your provisional veneers. This step is crucial to ensure that you are completely satisfied with the look and feel of your new smile.

Step 6. Final Adjustments and Approval

Most of the time, our comprehensive and predictable process ensures that your provisional veneers are perfect and require no changes. However, if any adjustments are needed, we will make them at this stage to guarantee that your final veneers will be flawless.

Step 7. Crafting Your Permanent Veneers

Once we are happy with the provisional veneers, we give the green light to our master ceramist to create your permanent veneers. These are crafted to look exactly like the provisional ones, so there are no surprises. You will know exactly what to expect and will already be accustomed to the look and feel of your new smile.

Step 8. Fitting the Permanent Veneers

A few weeks later, your permanent veneers will be ready, and we will fit them onto your teeth. This is the final step, where your new smile becomes a reality. The custom design ensures that your veneers look better, fit better, and last longer.
