If you’re looking for a way to give your whole smile a complete makeover all at once, you might be a great candidate for porcelain veneers. They’re a wonderful way to improve your entire grin in one fell swoop!
The first step in the veneers process is attending a consultation with Dr. Le to discuss your smile goals and determine whether veneers are the ideal way to achieve them. Should you decide to move forward with veneers, we can then prepare your affected teeth by removing some enamel; just a tiny sliver so that the veneers won’t feel or look bulky once they’re placed. Next, we take impressions to design a model of your teeth. This model is then sent to a dental lab so your veneers can be custom-made to fit your unique grin. We might place temporary veneers in the meantime. After two or three weeks, simply return to our office. Your temporaries are switched out for your permanent veneers, and you’re sent out into the world to enjoy your new and improved smile!
