DURAthin Prepless Veneers
In addition to traditional porcelain veneers, we also offer DURAthin prepless veneers. These veneers are much thinner than traditional veneers and are designed for placement upon your teeth without any manipulation to your enamel beforehand.
Prepless veneers give immediate results, straightening the visible portion of your smile with minimal tooth impact. These veneers mimic the natural translucency and shine of teeth, and no one can tell that they aren’t your natural teeth.
Prepless veneers are only suitable for some candidates because they can look bulky on too-large teeth. Our doctors can help determine which type of veneer is best for you.
Creating Your Porcelain Veneers
During your first porcelain veneers visit, we will ask you questions about what you want your smile to look like and help you understand your options. Our doctors will help you select the best color, size, and shape of veneers for your smile.
Once we have established your aesthetic goals with you, our doctors will prepare your teeth. This process involves the removal of a small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth to make room for your veneers. Next, we will take detailed impressions of your teeth. These impressions, along with photographs and detailed instructions on shading, size, and shape, will be sent to our dental laboratory, where master ceramists will make your veneers.
We will provide you with a set of temporary veneers to wear while your permanent ones are created.
Within a few weeks, you will return to our office to have your veneers applied. We will check each veneer against your teeth to ensure they will fit snugly and that they are in line with the aesthetic directions he gave to our laboratory. Next, we will bond your veneers in place and ensure that they do not interfere with your bite. Your veneers are fully functional immediately.
