Five Steps to Achieving a Beverly Hills Smile With Porcelain Veneers

Are you conscious about your teeth? Do you hesitate to smile in public because you don’t want anyone to see your stained, crooked or chipped teeth? Everyone wants to have a beautiful smile, and in Beverly Hills, a stunning smile is the ultimate accessory. To achieve a striking smile with great teeth, porcelain veneers can be your answer in 5 easy steps.

1) Consultation. Before making any decision regarding porcelain veneers, a consultation is necessary. Make an appointment with a cosmetic dentist and discuss the problems you have with your teeth and desired outcomes you are looking for. You can even bring photos to show your dentist what kind of smile you desire. During this consultation, the cosmetic dentist will conduct an examination and obtain your medical history. A good dentist will have plenty of photos of their work to show you. Before leaving the consultation, you should be sure to ask the cosmetic dentist any questions you may have about the procedure, costs involved, or anesthesia.

2) Preparation. The second visit to the cosmetic dentist will be when the dentist will create a surface for your porcelain veneers to adhere to and a place where the thin piece of porcelain will lay over the top of the teeth.

3) Molding. Also during the second visit to the cosmetic dentist, a mold / impression will be taken of your teeth, following the preparation. This mold is used to create the porcelain piece that will be placed over your permanent teeth. At the end of the appointment, the cosmetic dentist may apply a temporary veneer that is used to protect the exposed teeth while the final, customized porcelain veneer is being crafted in the dental lab.

4) Fitting. The third visit to your cosmetic dentist will be when your custom porcelain veneers are fitted to your teeth. The veneers will be temporarily applied to your teeth to make sure the feel and fit are right as well as to make sure the shape and look of the veneers meets your desired outcome. If there are any modifications that need to be made, the cosmetic dentist will make them prior to permanently attaching them to your teeth.

5) Application. During your final visit to the cosmetic dentist, a thorough examination will be conducted to ensure that the teeth are completely clean and that the gums and mouth are in healthy condition. The porcelain veneers will then be attached to your teeth by using composite resign cement, bonding the veneer to the teeth securely. Any final adjustments will be made once the porcelain veneers are attached. Once you receive the exact look you were searching for, the cosmetic dentist will perform a final cleaning and you will walk out of the office with a Beverly Hills smile you can be proud of.
