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.
Dr. Fixari will also give you proper instructions to help you care for your new veneers. Brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits can extend the life of your porcelain veneers.
