What Can I Expect When Getting Veneers?
We start with a consultation where you can tell us what you like and don’t like about your smile. We examine your teeth, gums, and bite to determine whether veneers are appropriate and discuss the results you can realistically expect.
If veneers are right for you, we plan their shape, size, and shade before preparing your teeth. We take impressions or digital scans to create your custom veneers, then carefully bond them to the front surfaces of your teeth.
We check your bite and the overall appearance before you leave, making sure your new veneers feel comfortable and look natural.
How Do I Care for My Veneers?
Veneers can give your smile a beautiful, long-lasting result, but they still need the same
everyday attention as your natural teeth. Good habits help keep your veneers looking their best while also protecting the teeth and gums underneath.
- Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
- Clean between your teeth every day with floss or another interdental cleaner.
- Keep up with regular exams and cleanings so we can check your veneers, teeth, and gums and catch any concerns early.
- Avoid biting hard objects, such as ice, pens, fingernails, or packaging, which can put unnecessary pressure on your veneers.
- Be mindful of staining foods and drinks if you’re concerned about keeping your smile bright.
If you grind or clench your teeth, we may recommend a custom night guard to help protect your natural teeth and veneers while you sleep. During your regular visits, we can also check for signs of wear or changes to your veneers and let you know if anything needs attention.
With a little everyday care and regular professional visits, you can enjoy your veneers and continue feeling confident about your smile.
