How to get your porcelain veneers in Charlotte


The procedure for porcelain veneers is relatively easy and simple. You will get to enjoy a better, more confident smile in just two or three appointments with your dentist.Your Ballantyne cosmetic dentist performs a thorough examination of your teeth and makes a diagnosis. X-rays may also be taken at this point. Your dentist will then discuss with you the results of the examination, his recommendations, and what you can expect from the treatment.

  2. Your Ballantyne Center for Dentistry dentist prepares your teeth for the dental veneers. He then makes a model or an impression of your teeth to be sent the dental laboratory where a specialist will make your custom-fit porcelain veneers. Because it will take some time before your teeth veneers are ready, you will be provided with temporary ones to be placed over your teeth.
  3. Your Charlotte cosmetic dentist will then bond the dental veneers on your teeth after the veneers are checked against your other teeth to see if they fit and are properly aligned with the rest. At this time, adjustments will be made where the veneers will be trimmed if necessary.
  4. Your dentist then prepares your tooth for permanent veneer attachment by cleaning and polishing your teeth. The porcelain veneers are then attached to the prepared teeth using a bonding material, which, when applied with a special white light, hardens quickly, and permanently bonds the veneers to your teeth.
  5. For the last part of the treatment, your Charlotte cosmetic dentist cleans your teeth and makes sure that all traces of excess bonding material are cleaned up. He now examines your brand new teeth veneers, check the bite, make some final adjustments, and give you aftercare instructions.
