The Dental Veneers Process at Toothworks Dental
Every dental veneer at our Northcote clinic has been custom-crafted for each patient, to seamlessly blend in and create their dream smile! It usually takes only two visits for you to get your set of porcelain veneers. However, certain patients might need an additional appointment based on their specific requirements.
Should you decide to get porcelain veneers, here is what you can expect.
- An Initial Consultation
This is the starting point in your journey to a dazzling smile. During this comprehensive consultation, our dentist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your aesthetic goals and assess your suitability for porcelain veneers. This stage might also entail having X-Rays, scans and even impressions of your teeth done.
- Tooth Preparation
This is a critical step to prepare your tooth for the veneer. In this, our dentist will remove a minuscule amount of enamel from the tooth’s surface. While this might seem intimidating at first, we can assure you that there is nothing to worry about. This is done to create enough space for the veneer to fit naturally and seamlessly onto the tooth. A 3D scan of your prepared tooth is then sent to our dental lab, which will proceed to fabricate your custom veneers.
- Veneer Cementation
Once your custom veneers are ready, we will temporarily place them over your teeth to check for the fit and colour. After making the necessary adjustments, we will proceed with the bonding process, starting with teeth cleaning.
The veneers will be cemented onto your teeth using a special light that not only activates the chemicals in the cement, but causes it to harden quickly. This results in a near-instantaneous transformation that is both stunning and durable.
Are Dental Veneers the Right Choice for You?
Veneers are not just about restoring or enhancing aesthetics. They are also about restoring your functionality and confidence.
They are apt for those with:
- chipped, worn out or slightly misaligned teeth
- teeth that are irregularly shaped
- highly discoloured teeth that are resistant to whitening treatments
- uneven spacing between their teeth
- weakened teeth that require an additional layer of support
Over and above an aesthetic upgrade, veneers also offer durability and restore full functionality to your bite in the case of weakened teeth. And unlike crowns or braces, veneers are a relatively less invasive solution to dental aesthetic irregularities, and retain the teeth’s structural integrity while also ensuring a natural appearance.
