What is the veneers process like?

Question

During your first visit to Signature Smiles Dentistry, the team evaluates your mouth and performs a dental exam, complete with X-rays, to determine whether veneers are right for you.

Next, the team prepares your teeth. With traditional veneers, a portion of enamel must be removed to make room for the new veneers. But because Lumineers are thinner than traditional veneers, the team doesn’t need to remove as much enamel to prepare your teeth.

With traditional veneers, you wear temporary veneers for about 2-3 weeks while you wait for your new restorations. However, because Lumineers don’t require much prep work to place, you won’t need temporary veneers to protect your teeth.

At your second visit, the team places your new veneers. They use a special adhesive to ensure the veneers bond to your teeth securely.

Veneers look and feel exactly like your natural teeth and require no special treatment other than brushing, flossing, and routine teeth cleanings.
