The process of getting porcelain veneers occurs in 3 appointments. The first is a consultation appointment where we sit down together to discuss what it is you want in your new smile. Color, shape, and arrangement will all be discussed.
The next appointment is when we will prepare your teeth for the veneers. Impressions are taken and temporaries in the shape we have previously decided upon will be placed. This is your “trial smile” where we can make any adjustments needed. It gives you an idea of what the final shape will be. Temporaries are very esthetic and most people will think they are the final product.
The final appointment is to place the actual porcelain veneers, typically about 2 weeks later. At this time the temporaries are removed and the final veneers are tried on. It is at this point where YOU tell us if we move forward or not. You check the color, shape, etc, and ONLY if you are 100% happy do we proceed and put them in. We have a short follow-up appointment a week or so later to do any final bite adjustments and to make sure all is perfect.
