Porcelain veneers procedure
You may need several visits to our office to attach your porcelain veneers in Hazel Park, MI. The first visit is for consultation, the next is to prepare your teeth, finally, your veneers are attached and you leave with a beautiful new smile.
Your dentist will talk to you about the results you are trying to achieve. They will also examine your teeth to check if the porcelain veneers are right for you. Then they will perform x-rays and take an impression of your teeth and mouth.
Your dentist will remove a small amount of the enamel from the front of your teeth to prepare them for veneers. Your impression will be sent to the laboratory that produces custom-made porcelain veneers that fit your tooth. This process may take a week.
Finally, your dentist will clean your teeth and cement the porcelain veneers in place.
How to keep your porcelain veneers safe?
Porcelain veneers are very strong, but they can chip under pressure. You need to avoid biting your fingernails and chewing on hard objects. Maintain your oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing at least once a day.
