What are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are thin yet durable sheaths that are custom crafted to fit over the visible surface of individual teeth. Because they’re made for each individual tooth, you’ll be able to restore the appearance of one, several, or all of your teeth depending on your needs.

The veneers themselves are made from tooth-colored materials like ceramic, porcelain, and resin. This allows each restoration to seamlessly blend in with the teeth next to it, making the results look natural and beautiful.

The Process of Getting Veneers

Getting veneers typically takes place over the course of two appointments. The first visit will include preparing your teeth for the veneers, taking impressions, and placing temporary veneers. In order to prep your natural teeth for your permanent veneers, your cosmetic dentist in Lillington will remove a very small portion of your tooth enamel, about the thickness of a contact lens. This will allow your veneers to sit flush with your surrounding teeth for a more natural and even appearance. We’ll then take a putty-free digital impression that we’ll send off to our laboratory, and finally, before you leave our office, we’ll secure temporary veneers atop your prepared teeth.

At your second appointment, our team will remove the temporary veneers and make sure your permanent ones that we received back from the laboratory fit perfectly. Once we’ve confirmed that no alterations need to be made, we’ll cement your permanent veneers on your teeth, and you’ll be able to view your final results!

The Benefits of Veneers
