The Benefits

of Veneers

Veneers offer numerous advantages for those seeking to enhance their smile. Firstly, they provide a natural tooth appearance, blending seamlessly with your existing teeth. Porcelain veneers, in particular, are stain-resistant, allowing you to maintain a bright smile for years to come. Veneers are also a conservative cosmetic dentistry approach to changing a tooth's color and shape compared to crowns, as less tooth enamel needs to be removed. They're strong, durable, and can last for many years with proper care. Additionally, veneers can address multiple cosmetic issues simultaneously, from discoloration to minor misalignments, offering a comprehensive smile makeover. This versatility makes them an excellent choice for patients looking to achieve a dramatic improvement in their smile's appearance quickly and effectively.

The Veneers Treatment Process

Consultation and Planning

The journey to your new smile begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Darcy Neveu. During this initial visit, you'll discuss your smile goals and expectations. Dr. Neveu will examine your teeth, take x-rays, and may make impressions or digital scans of your mouth and teeth. This comprehensive evaluation allows for a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions, view before-and-after photos of previous veneer patients, and even preview your potential new smile through digital imaging technology. This planning phase is crucial for ensuring that your veneers will look natural and meet your aesthetic expectations.

Preparation and Temporary Veneers

Once you've decided to proceed with veneers, the next step involves preparing your teeth for the veneer application. Dr. Neveu will carefully remove about 0.5mm of enamel from the tooth surface, which is roughly the thickness of the veneer to be added. This step ensures that the veneers will sit flush with your natural teeth and gum line. After preparing the teeth, an impression or digital scan is taken to create your custom veneers. While your permanent veneers are being crafted in a dental laboratory, which typically takes about 2-4 weeks, you may be fitted with temporary veneers. These temporaries protect your prepared teeth and give you a preview of how your new smile will look.

Bonding and Final Adjustments

When your custom veneers are ready, you'll return to New Hampshire Smile Co. for the final placement. Dr. Neveu will carefully check the fit, shape, and color of each veneer to ensure they're perfect for your smile. The veneers are then permanently bonded to your teeth. Once the veneers are securely in place, Dr. Neveu will make any necessary final adjustments to ensure your bite is comfortable and the veneers are properly aligned. You'll leave the office with a transformed smile, ready to show off your new look to the world.
