Request An Appointment
Consultation With Our Dentist
As with all other cosmetic dental procedures, the first step is a consultation. You can freely discuss any of your cosmetic concerns you may have.
We will go over your dental history as well. That way, our cosmetic dentist can tell if you’re a candidate for getting veneers.
At Ace Dental of Texas, we usually recommend veneers for patients who have only small cosmetic issues like a chipped tooth or worn-out edges. They can also work for minor gaps or make slightly crooked teeth look more even. More extensive damage, like tooth decay, should be treated in other ways.
Preparing Your Teeth
Usually, the dental veneer process takes two to three appointments. We customize them to match your teeth. For that, the first step is to prepare your teeth.
Although veneers are thin, they can still make your teeth look bulky if we place them directly. That’s why our dentist removes a thin layer of enamel from the teeth. We perform this step after numbing your teeth with a local anesthetic.
Impressions
After a thin enamel layer has been removed, we take impressions of your teeth. These are used by the dental lab to create your veneers that offer the best fit. It usually takes about 10 to 14 days before this step is completed.
Placing Your Veneers
At the time of your second visit to our Central Texas office, we will check how well the veneers fit. This can help us see if the veneers are the right size, shape and color.
Your new veneers might need minor adjustments so we do that before we permanently attach them to the teeth. We make sure your veneers look natural and fit your smile better.
Our dentist will clean and polish the prepared teeth. Then we etch each tooth so that the veneer is bonded more strongly to each tooth. Finally, we bond them to your teeth using dental cement. After that, you can enjoy a beautiful, natural-looking smile with confidence.
