Are you considering a smile makeover? Porcelain veneers might be just the solution you’re looking for. At Fine Dentistry in San Diego, we’ve helped countless patients achieve the smile of their dreams with this popular cosmetic dentistry treatment. If you’re curious about what to expect from the veneer process, from consultation to final results, you’ve come to the right place.
The Initial Consultation
Your journey to a stunning smile begins with a consultation at our San Diego office. During this visit, Dr. Sabine Purps will examine your teeth, discuss your smile goals, and determine if veneers are the best option for you. We’ll take photos and X-rays of your teeth to help plan your treatment.
Treatment Planning
If you decide to proceed with veneers, we’ll create a customized treatment plan. This may involve:
- Selecting the shade of your new veneers
- Taking impressions of your teeth
- Creating a mock-up of your new smile
We’ll work closely with you to ensure your veneers look natural and complement your facial features.
Preparing Your Teeth
The next step involves preparing your teeth for the veneers. This typically requires removing a small amount of enamel from the tooth surface. Don’t worry — it’s usually less than a millimeter and is necessary to ensure your veneers fit perfectly and look natural.
Temporary Veneers
While your custom porcelain veneers are being crafted in a dental laboratory, we’ll fit you with temporary veneers. These will protect your prepared teeth and give you a preview of your new smile.
The Final Fitting
When your permanent veneers are ready, you’ll return to our office for the final fitting. Dr. Purps will carefully check the fit, shape, and color of each veneer before permanently bonding them to your teeth. We’ll make any necessary adjustments to ensure you’re completely satisfied with the results.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Once your San Diego veneers are in place, you’ll be able to enjoy your new smile immediately. Caring for your veneers is similar to caring for your natural teeth — regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential. With proper care, your porcelain veneers can last for many years.
