The first step towards getting veneers is a consultation with Dr. Brookes at Acacia Dental Care, LLC. During this appointment, Dr. Brookes will assess your oral health, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine whether veneers are the right solution for you. This is your opportunity to ask any questions you might have about the procedure, costs, and the expected results. If veneers are deemed suitable, Dr. Brookes will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Once your treatment plan is in place, the next step is to prepare your teeth for the veneers. This involves removing a small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth to make room for the veneers. An impression of your teeth is then taken and sent to a dental laboratory, where your custom veneers will be crafted. This process typically takes 2-4 weeks.
When your veneers are ready, you'll return to Acacia Dental Care for the bonding process. Dr. Brookes will first place the veneers on your teeth to check their fit and color, making any necessary adjustments. Once everything is perfect, the veneers are cemented in place and a special light is used to quickly harden the cement. Finally, any excess cement is removed, your bite is evaluated, and any final adjustments are made.
