What to Expect When Getting Veneers

Posted .

Our dentist may recommend veneers if you wish for a brighter, more beautiful smile. These tooth-colored shells are made to cover the front of teeth with minor cosmetic flaws, like stains or chips.

If you choose veneers for your smile, Dr. Craig Chlebicki will first clean the teeth receiving veneers and select the correct shade for your restorations. The fronts of the teeth receiving veneers will be shaped to allow room for the veneers. Impressions are taken of the teeth so that your veneers can be constructed specifically for your smile.

When the veneers are ready, your teeth will be thoroughly cleaned, and the veneers will be etched to allow for a ideal bonding. The veneers are then cemented in place and allowed to cure. The color and fit of your new veneers will be checked. Any excess material will be removed by our dentist and your veneers will be polished.

Depending on how well they are taken care of. Dental veneers can last from 10 to 20 years before they need to be replaced. To care for your veneers, practice suitable dental hygiene. Brush your teeth twice a day, floss once a day and visit Brentcourt Dental Group at least every six months for routine dental appointments.
