Getting porcelain veneers typically can be done in two visits, and little or no anesthesia is involved in the procedure. During your first dental appointment, your teeth will be lightly buffed and shaped to allow for the veneer to be accurately fitted against your teeth.
Dr. Fixari will then take a mold, or impression, of your teeth. Together, you and Dr. Fixari will choose the appropriate shade for your new veneers.
On your second visit to Dr. Fixari’s dental office, your teeth will be cleaned with special cleaning solutions, ensuring a lasting and durable bond for your new veneers. Bonding cement will then be placed between each tooth and its veneer, and a special light will be used to harden and set the bond.
In short, everyone benefits from preventive dentistry and general dental practices. Preventive dentistry is the front line against oral health issues. It is essential for the health of your mouth — and your complete health — to schedule and attend dental appointments twice a year as part of your preventive dentistry treatment.
Everyone with issues with their teeth stand to benefit from restorative dentistry treatments. If teeth with decay or damage are not addressed in a timely fashion, more decay and damage can occur, necessitating further treatment. For example, cavities left unchecked can continue to spread decay, which could cause tooth loss.
Likewise, missing teeth that are not replaced with a restorative treatment can leave a gap that causes other teeth to gradually become misaligned, affecting your bite and the look of your smile.
