The process, however, isn\u2019t a one-and-done appointment like teeth whitening or dental bonding. You\u2019ll have to go through at least five separate steps in order to complete your dental cosmetic transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that seems overwhelming, don\u2019t worry \u2013 this post lays out everything you need to know about getting dental veneers in a quick, easy-to-read guide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1: The Consultation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you can begin any sort of dental work, you\u2019ll have to schedule a consultation with your cosmetic dentist. This is when the two of you will discuss your smile goals to make sure you\u2019re on the same page, and it\u2019s when your dentist will examine your mouth. The exam accomplishes two things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Checking on your oral health<\/strong> to see if you require prior treatment, such as gum disease therapy or a cavity filling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Taking impressions of your teeth<\/strong> so your custom veneers can be sized accurately.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you and your dentist have finalized your treatment plan, it\u2019s on to the next step!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2: Enamel Removal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order for dental veneers to look natural, it\u2019s often necessary to remove a tiny sliver of your enamel. Normally, this isn\u2019t something a dentist would recommend, because enamel serves as a protective layer for your teeth. However, your veneers will essentially replace this layer, so there\u2019s no increased risk to your oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3: Temporary Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, your customized veneers aren\u2019t actually crafted yet. Does that mean you\u2019ll have to go about your day with weakened enamel? Fortunately not! Your dentist will provide you a set of temporary veneers \u2013 they won\u2019t be as aesthetically pleasing as your permanent set will be, but they\u2019ll shield your teeth in the meantime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4: Wait Period<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your permanent veneers aren\u2019t crafted yet because your dental impressions and cosmetic preferences need to be sent off to a dental lab. The technicians at these labs are specially trained in color matching and veneer fabrication. Rest assured, the one to two weeks you\u2019ll have to wait are well worth it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5: Permanent Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When your dentist receives your customized veneers, they\u2019ll have you come in for another appointment. That\u2019s right \u2013 this is when you\u2019ll finally receive your dream smile! Your dentist will check with you to make sure the veneers fit well and look good, give them a polishing, and send you on your way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the dental veneer process in a nutshell. It can get pretty detailed, so if you have any questions at any point, don\u2019t hesitate to voice them to your dentist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/meet-dr-latner.html\">Dr. Les Latner<\/a> has accreditation in both the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and a mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry \u2013 something only 10 dentists have achieved!
