Veneers are thin (yet durable) sheets of porcelain that go on the front side of your teeth. Before they are bonded in place, we remove a layer of enamel to help the veneers fit snugly in place.
Once the enamel is removed, we’ll take digital impressions of the prepared teeth and upload them to our smile preview software. Using this advanced software, we can work together to map out your new smile from the color to the shape to the length of your new teeth.
After we have a model of your new smile, we send all of the information to our off-site lab where they fabricate the custom veneers. When we get them in, we’ll call you into our office to bond them to your teeth and make sure they look and feel great!
