Improve Your Smile Using Veneers and Lumineers

Dental veneers are a great cosmetic option for improving the look of imperfect teeth. These custom-made shells are bonded to the front of your teeth to create a natural and beautiful smile. At The Art of Smile, we specialize in providing dental veneers that require minimal preparation of your natural teeth, giving you a long-lasting result while maintaining the strength and structure of your smile.

Getting Veneers or Lumineers: What You Can Expect

Initial Consultation and Care

Before starting the dental veneer process, we will conduct a consultation to assess your dental health, oral function, and desired smile. We will discuss your goals and expectations for treatment during this meeting. It is crucial to address any periodontal issues or cavities before moving forward with veneers or Lumineers to ensure the health of your natural teeth. While the veneer process is efficient, it is important to prioritize your dental health before enhancing your smile.

Tooth Preparation and Impression Taking

The preparation needed for porcelain veneers or Lumineers can vary based on the individual case and type of veneer selected. Usually, only a small amount of tooth structure is removed to maintain a natural and strong look. Lumineers typically require minimal to no alteration of the natural tooth. Once prepared, an impression is taken and a porcelain shade is chosen. Custom veneers or Lumineers are then made in a dental lab. Temporary facings are applied to safeguard the teeth until the permanent ones are ready.

Fitting and Placement

After the porcelain veneers or Lumineers are prepared, we will evaluate the fit, size, shade, and shape of your new smile. Adjustments will be made as needed to ensure that your veneers or Lumineers fit perfectly and meet your aesthetic desires. Once everything is confirmed to be just right, we will clean your teeth and securely bond the veneers or Lumineers in place using a strong adhesive. Any additional refinements or adjustments will be made to ensure the end result is flawless.
