What is the process for getting dental Veneers San Diego?
In most instances, getting dental veneers in San Diego requires a series of Three appointments.
1st appointment: is your FREE initial cosmetic consultation, Our Doctor reviews your medical history and does an oral exam, then you talk to the doctor about your smile needs, expectations and procedures, preferably it would be better if you come prepared with a photo of your ideal smile either a photo of your smile at earlier stage of your life or a smile of a celebrity you found online.
2nd appointment: your doctor takes a series of X-rays of your teeth to detect any potential signs of infection. If everything looks good, they move forward with treatment.
To prepare your teeth for veneers, your Brite Smile Dental provider administers a local anesthetic. Then, they carefully remove a thin layer of enamel from your teeth, equal to the thickness of your finger nail. Your dentist takes a series of impressions (or 3D scans) and sends them to a dental laboratory that manufactures your veneers. you will leave the office with provisional veneers made out of acrylic material as a temporary coverage for your teeth.
3rd appointment: two weeks later, you return to Brite Smile Dental. Your dentist will show you your veneers on a model and you both approve them as they are matching the smile design you agreed to at your 1st visit. then we try them on in your mouth and get the 2nd approval, if things are not to your expectations we can send the veneers back to the lab for modifications until we get them exactly how you want them. when everything is up to the expectations and you are very happy with your veneers then we applies a bonding cement to your Veneers and cement them to your teeth permanently.
Do I care for my veneers like my regular teeth?
In General you have to care for your Veneers just as you care for your Teeth, Our team at Brite Smile Dental recommends brushing and flossing regularly and drinking water instead of beverages that stain, such as coffee and red wine. If you smoke cigarettes or use chewing tobacco, these habits can also stain your teeth surrounding the Veneers and you’ll need more regular cleaning and visit to your dental hygienist to keep your teeth and veneers clean and dazzling.
