Many patients are interested in receiving dental veneers to improve their smiles but are anxious about the treatment process involved. Dr. Paul Szmanda, Tom Nichols, Aaron Pavelski, Kate Collelo and Dustin Dengel and our team are here to put these anxieties at rest by offering insight into the treatment procedure so that our patients can feel prepared to receive dental veneers. Below, we have provided a step-by-step process of creating dental veneers for your benefit:

Step 1: To determine if dental veneers are best for your smile, we will examine the tooth and any surrounding structures, including taking dental X-rays. Then, we will form a customized treatment plan to exact your cosmetic goals.

Step 2: Your tooth is prepped for treatment with a local anesthetic to numb the area, and then trimmed to remove the outer tooth layer. We send an impression of tooth to the dental lab to ensure your dental veneer will be custom made to your preferences.

Step 3: The final step is to cement the dental veneer after we have determine it meets the requirements for shape, size, and color.
