The Porcelain Veneers Process
Our Auburn dentist has created a process that’s quick and seamless, so you can achieve your flawless smile in a comfortable manner. Your veneer journey begins with a consultation to discuss your ideal smile and goals. This initial visit will also consist of a thorough examination to confirm your eligibility for porcelain veneers. Dr. Heffelfinger will tailor a treatment plan that works best for you and then you’ll be scheduled to have your veneers placed.
During the time of your veneer placement, Dr. Heffelfinger will begin by preparing the teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel. This allows enough room for the veneers to appear natural. He’ll then choose the color of porcelain that will blend flawlessly with your smile.
Next, he’ll take digital impressions of your prepared teeth so the veneers can be specially crafted. At Smiles for Life, we use a digital smile design and treatment planning system where you and Dr. Heffelfinger can see how your smile will look before the veneers are placed. Once your veneers have been created, Dr. Heffelfinger will bond them to your teeth. Any excess dental cement will be removed and necessary adjustments will be made to ensure the ultimate smile.
