A poll conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry showed that 92% of adults view an attractive smile as an important social asset. This view has encouraged people to choose porcelain veneers to obtain the smile they\u2019ve always wanted. If you\u2019re considering veneers but want to know more about the process before committing to it, keep reading! We\u2019ve broken down the 5 key steps you\u2019ll take to get your best smile with veneers in Hampton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Discussing Your Goals with Your Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you like and dislike about your smile? What do you think needs to be fixed? It may seem simple, but discussing your smile goals and needs with your dentist is the best way to begin the planning process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: The Preview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After you\u2019ve decided on a plan of action with your dentist, you can preview your new smile in many ways. One option is for the dentist to create an exact model of your teeth and then shape veneer-like pieces onto the model using wax to show what can be achieved. Another option is for your dentist to make temporary veneers out of acrylic plastic or tooth-colored dental filling material that can be placed onto your teeth. This option gives you a real-life preview of your new smile. You won\u2019t leave the office with the substance on your teeth, but you can take a few selfies for future reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Preparing Your Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you feel confident that your dentist has a full understanding of what you want for your new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oceansidedental.net\/porcelain-veneers.html\">veneers<\/a>, your dentist will prepare your teeth. The preparation process can vary from polishing the teeth to removing a layer from the front, biting edges, or sides of the teeth. The goal is to remove as little of the tooth structure as possible, but the amount removed depends on the specific results you\u2019ve discussed with your dentist and the position of your teeth. Your teeth must be prepared to ensure your veneers lay flat and give a natural look. It is important to discuss this part of the process with your dentist <em>before<\/em> the actual preparation begins, as tooth reduction cannot be reversed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Laboratory Creation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your dentist completes the preparation process for your teeth, a mold of them will be made. This mold will be sent to the dental laboratory where technicians will use it to create a replica of your teeth to make veneers specifically for you. This may take several weeks, but while your veneers are made, your dentist will provide you with a set of temporary veneers made of acrylic. Unlike the sample veneers you tried during your preview, these will be cemented to your teeth, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile normally. They will also be contoured to your mouth to ensure comfort and confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: The Final Step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your new veneers have been created and come back from the lab, your dentist will bond them to your teeth using a micromechanical attachment that will essentially make your tooth and your veneer one unit. This cementing process is permanent and will require a professional to remove them, so no need to worry about them coming off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veneers are one of the best dental fixes available because of their longevity. With proper maintenance, your veneers can last longer than 20 years! Your cosmetic dentist in Hampton is ready to help you get the smile you deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Drs.
