The dental veneer procedure will usually take two or three visits to our dentist office. The first visit is a consultation with Dr. Weinstock. Here he will determine if you are a candidate for porcelain veneers. You must have and maintain good oral health to qualify for this cosmetic dentistry treatment. At the next visit, he will prepare the surface of your teeth. He does this by removing a small amount of tooth surface and enamel that will provide space for the dental veneer.
Meanwhile, the dental lab will make your custom veneer to fit perfectly. We take dental impressions to ensure that your veneer will be a perfect fit. The dental lab will use the highest quality ceramics, color matched to the color, shape, and size of your natural tooth enamel.
After we prepare your teeth, Dr. Weinstock will permanently bond the custom designed dental veneer to your tooth. The veneer will cover the front and sides of your tooth or teeth for a long-lasting and permanent cosmetic restoration.
