Are you considering transforming your smile with veneers? If so, you’re not alone. Many patients at Anchored Smiles of Naples are curious about the process of getting porcelain veneers and what they can expect from start to finish. Let’s walk through the journey of getting veneers, from your initial consultation to the moment you see your brand-new smile.

The Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a consultation with Dr. Kenninthon Munoz. During this appointment, we’ll discuss your smile goals and examine your teeth to determine if porcelain veneers are the best option for you. We’ll also take photos and X-rays of your teeth to help plan your treatment.

Treatment Planning

Once we’ve decided that veneers are right for you, we’ll create a custom treatment plan. This plan will outline the number of veneers you need, the shade of white you desire, and the shape and size of your new teeth. We may even use digital imaging to show you a preview of your new smile!

Preparing Your Teeth

The next step involves preparing your teeth for the veneers. This typically requires removing a thin layer of enamel from the front of your teeth to make room for the veneers. Don’t worry — it’s a minimal amount, and we ensure your comfort throughout the process.

Taking Impressions

After preparing your teeth, we’ll take impressions. These molds of your teeth will be sent to a dental laboratory where skilled technicians will craft your custom porcelain veneers.

Temporary Veneers

While waiting for your permanent veneers, we’ll place temporary ones to protect your prepared teeth and give you a glimpse of your new smile.

Fitting Your Permanent Veneers

When your custom veneers arrive from the lab, you’ll return to our office. Dr. Munoz will carefully check the fit, shape, and color of each veneer before permanently bonding them to your teeth.

The Big Reveal

Finally, the moment you’ve been waiting for! We’ll show you your new smile, and you’ll leave our office with a dazzling set of porcelain veneers that look and feel natural.

Follow-Up and Care

We’ll schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure you’re happy with your veneers and to answer any questions about caring for them. With proper care, your porcelain veneers can last for many years, continuing to provide you with a beautiful, confident smile.
