Veneers
Port Angeles, WA

To initiate the dental veneer process, we will begin with a consultation to evaluate your dental health, oral functionality, and the appearance you desire for your smile. We will also discuss your smile objectives and treatment expectations. Prior to creating your new veneers, it is crucial to address any periodontal problems or tooth decay in the relevant teeth, although the actual veneer procedure is relatively quick.

The extent of tooth preparation needed for porcelain veneers can differ based on the specific case and type of veneer. Nevertheless, the removal of tooth structure from the front and sides is generally kept to a minimum, only sufficient to achieve a natural and sturdy look. Once the teeth are prepared, an impression is taken and a porcelain shade is selected. The veneers are subsequently sent to a dental laboratory to be custom-made. Meanwhile, temporary veneer facings are utilized to cover the teeth until the permanent ones are completed.

After your veneers are prepared, it is crucial to verify their fit, size, shade, and shape. Prior to attaching them to your teeth, necessary modifications will be made to ensure an accurate fit and the most pleasing appearance. We will also ensure your satisfaction with your new smile. Once the veneers are fitted and approved, the relevant teeth will be cleaned and the veneers will be permanently bonded using composite resin cement. If any further adjustments or minor refinements are required, they will be carried out after the placement.
