Porcelain Veneers

Whether they are used for subtle changes or a dramatic transformation, porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments available. Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that cover teeth to close gaps and eliminate imperfections. If you have teeth that are stained, chipped, cracked, or misshapen, porcelain veneers may be right for you.

Porcelain Veneer Procedure Overview

Veneers require three visits to design, create, and place. Here is what you can expect:

  • Diagnosis and treatment planning: Dr. Grapevine will start with an examination of your teeth and smile. He will take photos and impressions of your teeth so you can see your new created smile before we actually start. This is where your desires and expectations are voiced and heard so we can deliver the smile you have always wanted.
  • Preparation: Dr Grapevine will conservatively remove a minimal amount of enamel, about 1/2 millimeter from each tooth receiving a veneer, and then custom temporary veneers will be made. Many of our temporaries are mistaken for the final permanent veneers by others. This procedure may require some local anesthesia. We will take a custom impression and then send your impressions to a trusted lab were they will hand make each veneer according to our specifications for your smile. The veneers will be ready in two to three weeks.
  • Cementation: We will remove the temporaries and then place the veneers on the teeth. We will check the fit and color of the veneers and once they have met your approval, we will clean the teeth and bond the veneers on permanently.
  • Follow Up Care and Maintenance: You will return one to two weeks and the final cementation for a follow up visit. Brush and floss normally and use a non-abrasive toothpaste to keep your teeth and the veneers clean. Good home care will ensure optimal durability and appearance.

Let us know if you clench or grind your teeth. We may suggest a nightguard to protect your veneers.

Alternatives to Porcelain Veneers
