Ceramic Veneers
Ceramic veneers, also known as porcelain veneers or dental laminates, are thin shells of porcelain that are custom-made to fit over the front surface of the teeth. Ceramic veneers can be used to correct a variety of dental imperfections, including chips, cracks, stains, and gaps between teeth. The design with ceramic veneers involves the careful placement of these thin shells to improve the overall appearance of the patient's smile.
The process of designing with ceramic veneers typically involves an initial consultation with a dental professional to determine the patient's needs and goals for their smile. The veneers are then custom-made to match the patient's natural teeth in color, size, and shape. The dental professional will carefully prepare the patient's teeth by removing a small amount of the natural tooth structure to ensure a proper fit for the veneers.
Appointments description
The following is a chronological outline of the procedure.
Appointment No. 1:
General Evaluation Appointment with the Dentist
During this appointment, the patient will meet with the dentist for a comprehensive assessment of their dental condition and discuss the possibility of ceramic veneer design.
After the general evaluation, the dental professional will prepare the patient's teeth to take a silicone impression, which will be used to create an accurate mold for the fabrication of ceramic veneers.
1-day Break for Ceramic Veneer Fabrication
Once the impression is taken, there will be a 1-day break to allow for the fabrication of the ceramic veneers in our dental laboratory.
Appointment No. 2:
Color and Shape Testing for Ceramic Veneers
After the fabrication break, an appointment will be scheduled for testing the ceramic veneers, reviewing color, shape, and size. During this appointment, necessary adjustments will be made to ensure a perfect fit.
1-day Break for Veneer Adjustments
Following the color and shape testing, there will be a 1-day break to allow for any additional adjustments that may be necessary before the final placement of the ceramic veneers.
Appointment No. 3:
Placement of Ceramic Veneers
Once the ceramic veneers are ready and all necessary adjustments have been made, this appointment will be scheduled for the final placement of the veneers on the patient's teeth using specialized dental cement.
Appointment No. 4:
Post-Treatment Follow-up
Finally, a post-treatment follow-up appointment will be scheduled to evaluate the outcome of the ceramic veneer design procedure and ensure that the patient is satisfied with the results obtained.
