First
date

This will be approximately 2 hours.

This appointment will include the following: Consultation, examination and treatment plan, Photographs of your smile, preparation of your teeth (if needed), scanning, measurements and color selection for your new veneers.

If you require crowns, you will leave this appointment with temporary restorations in place that will help us protect your natural teeth. Your temporary teeth will be custom designed so as not to cause you discomfort during this stage of treatment. You can function as you would normally, with a little extra caution when eating or chewing food.

Second
date

This appointment will be approximately 2 to 3 days later. This appointment will include the removal of your temporary teeth (if you have them) and the measurement and placement of your new permanent dental work (porcelain veneers – porcelain crowns).

You will probably leave our office that day with your new smile. If you need to make any color, shape or size modifications, it may take a few more hours or up to a day longer. It is important that at the time of the measurement of your veneers you report any non-conformities and suggest any changes you would like, since porcelain can only be modified prior to final cementation. That is why it is very important that you take the time to look at your veneers in detail before the final cementation.

Your last post-operative appointment will be the following day.

This appointment is extremely important and is where we will apply the final touches and adjustments needed to your bite. Final photographs are also taken for our records.

You will have one more post-operative appointment if necessary which is included in your fee. If your case involves implants, there will be a phase II portion of your treatment that will take place approximately 4-6 months after your implants have been placed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the porcelain smile design process take?

The porcelain smile design process typically varies based on individual needs but usually takes around one to two weeks. This timeframe includes the initial consultation, impression-taking, creation of porcelain veneers, and the final placement. We want you to showcase your best smile as soon as possible!

Do natural teeth need to be shaved down?

There is no need to wear down natural teeth. We use extremely thin 0.3 mm veneers, known as veneers, which are placed over existing teeth without requiring any wear. This approach preserves the natural structure of your teeth while aesthetically transforming your smile.

Does the smile design procedure cause pain?

The smile design procedure itself should not cause pain. In our approach, the veneers used do not require shaving, especially if the teeth are natural and straight. However, it’s important to note that if the smile design includes other procedures like crowns, root canals, or implants, there might be some discomfort. To ensure your comfort, all our procedures are performed under anesthesia. Your well-being is our priority.

What is the cost of the smile design?

The cost of smile design can vary based on each patient’s individual needs. The processes are personalized, and the price depends on the number of veneers and the desired quality. As a reference, a common treatment with 20 porcelain veneers costs around 8,000 USD. Remember that these are approximate values, and we invite you to schedule a consultation to get an accurate quote based on your specific requirements. We are committed to providing you with the best solution to achieve the smile you’ve always desired.

Can a veneer fall off?

While veneers are highly resistant, there is a minimal risk of fracture, similar to what a natural tooth might experience. It is crucial for patients to maintain excellent oral hygiene and care for their teeth properly. Additionally, the long-term success of the treatment depends significantly on the dentist’s skill in achieving a strong bond between the tooth and the veneer. Careful treatment and active collaboration between the patient and the professional are key to ensuring the durability and stability of the veneers.
