Getting porcelain veneers involves multiple stages that result in a smile that is both beautiful and transformative. Here’s what you can expect during the porcelain veneer procedure:
Consultation and Treatment Planning:
Your journey towards porcelain veneers begins with a consultation with our experienced dentist in Rocklin, Dr. Anas Jebrini. During this appointment, you will discuss your goals, concerns, and expectations. Dr. Jebrini will assess your oral health and examine your teeth to determine if porcelain veneers are the best treatment option for you.
Preparation:
A minor amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of the teeth receiving veneers during the preparation phase. This phase ensures a proper fit and provides space for the veneer to be firmly bonded. For your comfort throughout the procedure, local anesthesia may be provided.
Impressions and Temporary Veneers:
Detailed dental impressions are made and sent to a dental laboratory. These impressions are used to create veneers that precisely match your intended shape, size, and color. Temporary veneers may be placed to secure and maintain the aesthetics of your teeth while your permanent veneers are being created.
Veneer Bonding:
You will return to the dental office for the bonding process once your porcelain veneers are set. Dr. Jebrini will apply veneers to your teeth with care, evaluating their fit, appearance, and alignment. The veneers will be cemented to the teeth using a strong dental adhesive and a specialized light to ensure a secure and durable bond.
Final Adjustments and Polishing:
After veneers have been firmly adhered, any necessary adjustments are made to ensure correct bite and alignment. In addition, the veneers will be polished by Dr. Jebrini, enhancing their natural appearance and creating a seamless integration with the surrounding teeth.
Follow-Up and Maintenance:
Dr. Jebrini will provide instructions on how to care for and maintain new porcelain veneers. It is essential to maintain excellent oral hygiene, which includes brushing, flossing, and regular dental exams. With appropriate maintenance, porcelain veneers can provide years of aesthetically pleasing smiles!
