You’ll need to visit our office a few times. In an initial consultation, we’ll explain the process in a little more detail and discuss your hopes and expectations for your new smile. Some people want a smile that’s as white as possible, and some prefer a subtler enhancement to their smile. (Here, by the way, is an interesting New York Times article about trends in this area.)
During a different visit, we’ll remove a small layer—0.5 mm, to be precise—of your tooth’s outer layer. We’ll cover the teeth that are being treated with temporary Composite Veneers. Your permanent Porcelain Veneers are custom made in a lab, and that process takes about a week.
After we put your permanent Veneers in, we’ll ask you to come in for a visit again afterwards so that we can check to make sure your bite is still correct. Sometimes, a minor adjustment or two is needed.
