How Long Is the Veneers Placement Process?

Modern dentistry has made it possible to get a seemingly perfect smile. Whether your teeth are stained, chipped, or a bit uneven, veneers are a great solution that can help you achieve an even and beautiful smile.

If you are thinking about getting veneers in Frisco, you may be curious about what the process entails. For example, how long will it take until you can have the smile of your dreams? 

What Are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are custom-made shells that are placed over your natural teeth. They are usually made of porcelain and have a very natural look. 

The dentist places these shells on the surface of your teeth to correct dental issues such as:

• Cracked teeth 
• Chipped teeth
• Stained or discolored teeth
• Gapped and misshapen teeth

It's important to note that the procedure to get veneers is irreversible. Your Frisco dentist will have to trim a bit of enamel off your natural teeth. And because enamel does not grow back, you can't take your veneers off. If they get damaged or worn out, then you will have to replace them. 

How Long Does It Take to Place the Veneers?

It usually takes about 3 appointments spanned over approximately 3 weeks to place the veneers. 

• The First Appointment: The dentist examines your teeth and establishes the treatment plan. You get a general idea of how your teeth would look after the process is completed. 

• The Second Appointment: The dentist prepares the teeth for the veneers. They are trimmed and adjusted for the veneers to fit perfectly. You may also get temporary veneers until the lab creates permanent ones. 

• The Third Appointment: The dentist will place the final custom-made veneers onto your teeth so that you can enjoy the smile you have always wanted. 

It might seem like a long time, but it's important to make sure that the veneers fit your teeth perfectly and feel very natural. If they feel weird in your mouth, your dentist will trim and adjust them until they are just right. Your veneers shouldn't just look well, but also feel comfortable so that you can eat and speak normally.
