Initial Consultation and Personalized Planning

The first step towards your porcelain veneers begins with a detailed consultation at Santa Ana Family Dentistry. During this session, we discuss your aesthetic goals and conduct a comprehensive oral examination to assess your suitability for veneers. This includes evaluating the health of your teeth and gums, and discussing any underlying dental issues that need to be addressed prior to veneer placement. We take the time to understand your expectations, answer any questions, and explain the procedure in detail. This personalized planning ensures that the veneers not only enhance your smile but also fit perfectly with your overall facial aesthetics.

Tooth Preparation and Veneer Customization

Once you're ready to proceed, the next step involves preparing your teeth for the veneers. This typically includes a minimal reshaping of the tooth surface to ensure the veneers fit seamlessly and look natural. Impressions of your teeth are then taken, which serve as the blueprint for creating your custom veneers. Our dental lab uses these impressions to meticulously craft veneers that match the desired color, shape, and size, ensuring they blend flawlessly with your natural teeth. Throughout this phase, we maintain a focus on precision and artistry, ensuring that each veneer is a perfect fit for your individual smile.

Veneer Bonding and Final Adjustments

The final step in the veneer process is the bonding of the porcelain shells to your teeth. Once your custom veneers are ready, we schedule an appointment for the fitting. During this visit, we carefully place each veneer, making precise adjustments to ensure optimal fit and comfort. The veneers are then permanently bonded to your teeth, and any final modifications are made to perfect your smile. This stage is crucial, as it involves not only the aesthetic placement of the veneers but also ensuring they function correctly with your bite. The result is a transformed, radiant smile that reflects your personality and enhances your overall appearance.
