The Veneer Process
Consultation & Planning
We discuss your goals, examine your teeth, and create a customized treatment plan. Digital imaging shows you a preview of your new smile.
Tooth Preparation
A minimal amount of enamel is removed to make room for the veneers. Impressions are taken and temporary veneers are placed.
Custom Fabrication
Your veneers are crafted in a specialized dental laboratory using your exact specifications for color, shape, and size.
Final Placement
Your custom veneers are carefully bonded to your teeth, with final adjustments made to ensure perfect fit and appearance.

Ideal candidates for porcelain veneers have:
- • Good overall oral health (no active decay or gum disease)

- • Realistic expectations about results
- • Commitment to good oral hygiene
- • No severe teeth grinding (or willingness to wear a night guard)
During your consultation, we'll perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine if veneers are the best option for achieving your smile goals.
