Step-by-Step Guide to Smile Design
1. Initial Consultation and Evaluation
We begin with high-quality photographs, X-rays, and a complete clinical examination. During this visit, we review your expectations, aesthetic goals, and budget to create a personalized treatment plan.
2. Digital Smile Design (DSD)
Using advanced Digital Smile Design software, we simulate your new smile and adjust the shape, size, and color of your teeth to perfectly match your facial features.
3. Mock-Up and Smile Preview
A temporary mock-up is created so you can preview the results directly in your mouth. You can request changes to the shape or style before the final veneers are fabricated.
4. Tooth Preparation and Impressions
If needed, the tooth surface is minimally prepared. Then, we take a precise impression or digital scan, which is sent to the laboratory for custom veneer fabrication.
5. Final Veneer Placement
Your custom veneers are bonded using high-strength dental cement. We make final bite adjustments and polishing to ensure a natural, flawless, and long-lasting finish.
6. Follow-Up and Maintenance
Regular check-ups, proper hygiene, and avoiding habits such as nail-biting or using teeth as tools help extend the lifespan of your veneers and keep your smile in perfect condition.
7. How Long Do Veneers Last?
Composite veneers typically last around 5 years, while porcelain veneers can last up to 15 years or more. Longevity depends on daily care, hygiene habits, and professional maintenance.
