Veneers are ultra-thin sheaths of dental-grade material that fit over the front-facing portions of your teeth. Each one is custom-made, transforming your smile into one that’s both beautiful and natural-looking. They’re considered to be one of the most popular cosmetic solutions available today because of their ability to mask aesthetic flaws. Dr. Abernethy will personalize your treatment to ensure the veneers blend seamlessly with the rest of your grin.
The first step on your journey toward a brand-new smile is a consultation with Dr. Abernethy. During your initial appointment, she’ll evaluate your oral health and inquire about your goals to get a better idea of what you want your new grin to look like. Once it’s determined you’re an eligible candidate, she’ll recommend the appropriate number of veneers to mask your imperfections.
In preparation for veneer placement, a small amount of enamel will be removed from each tooth to ensure the restoration bonds properly to it. Then, impressions will be taken of your smile and sent to a dental laboratory for the creation of your veneers. Dental technicians will fabricate each shell based on the specifications provided.
After some time, you’ll return to the office to have your veneers placed. Dr. Abernethy will carefully bond each one to the corresponding tooth, making sure you achieve your desired results. Using a special curing light, she’ll harden the bonding agent into place. She’ll give your pearly whites one final polish and you’ll be ready to show off your new look that very same day!
