The Porcelain Veneers Process

Comprehensive Initial Consultation

Dr. Bixler conducts a thorough examination, ensuring porcelain veneers are the ideal fit for you. Any underlying oral health concerns are addressed before proceeding with the procedure.

Personalized  Crafting of Your Veneers

Once your teeth are prepared, our dental team takes meticulous impressions. These impressions serve as the foundation for crafting your bespoke veneers, guaranteeing a comfortable and seamlessly natural fit within your smile.

Precise Placement of Your Veneers

Upon receiving your veneers from our dental lab, we’ll schedule a precision placement appointment. Before attaching temporary dental veneers, your teeth undergo a thorough cleaning, and precise removal of a small portion of natural tooth enamel ensures a perfect fit once the veneers return from the dental laboratory.

Dr. Bixler administers a local anesthetic for a painless experience. Your porcelain veneers are then carefully affixed to your teeth, delivering a flawless, natural-looking result.

 

Caring for Porcelain Veneers

To ensure the longevity of your new veneers, follow Dr. Bixler’s aftercare instructions, which may include:

  • Limit Staining Agents: While veneers are stain-resistant, you should minimize coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. If consumed, promptly rinse your mouth or brush your teeth.
  • Avoid Excessive Force: Refrain from biting on hard objects or using your teeth as tools. Though durable, excessive force can lead to damage or chipping.
  • Biannual Visits: Schedule regular check-ups with Dr. Bixler to monitor the condition of your veneers, ensuring they remain securely bonded and addressing any potential issues promptly.
  • Professional Cleaning: Professional cleanings help maintain the vibrancy of your veneers by removing any surface stains or plaque that may accumulate over time.
  • Night Guards: If you tend to clench or grind your teeth at night, consider a custom night guard. This protective measure safeguards your veneers from potential damage during sleep.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do porcelain veneers last?

Porcelain veneers, known for their durability, can grace your smile with lasting brilliance. With proper care and maintenance, these cosmetic wonders can endure for up to 15 years. Regular dental check-ups and a diligent oral hygiene routine contribute significantly to prolonging the lifespan of your veneers.

Does getting porcelain veneers hurt?

Rest assured, the process of getting porcelain veneers is designed to be minimally invasive and virtually pain-free. Your dentist will administer local anesthesia to ensure a painless experience during enamel removal and porcelain veneer placement. Any temporary sensitivity post-procedure is typically mild and short-lived.

How long does it take to get porcelain veneers?

The journey to a radiant smile through porcelain veneers is surprisingly swift. The entire process typically spans two visits.
