Porcelain Veneers

Dr. Steven evaluates your teeth, gums, bite, and facial proportions. A Digital Smile Preview is created — you see what your new smile will look like before any preparation begins. This is your opportunity to refine the shape, length, and shade. The preparation appointment is only scheduled once you are satisfied with the preview. There is no pressure and no commitment at this stage.

A small, controlled amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of each tooth to create room for the veneer. This is permanent and requires careful planning — which is why the Digital Smile Preview step matters. A digital scan is taken and custom temporaries are placed the same day so you leave with an immediately improved smile. The temporaries mimic the shape and length of your final veneers, allowing you to experience the new look and provide feedback before the final ceramics are made.

The temporaries are removed. Each porcelain veneer is tried on individually for fit, shade, and bite before bonding. Dr. Steven walks you through each one — you have the opportunity to request adjustments before they are permanently cemented. Once approved, the veneers are bonded to your teeth using a high-strength dental adhesive. The results are polished and the bite is refined. Most patients are genuinely moved seeing the final result.

If the bite feels slightly off or there is an edge that needs minor refinement, a brief follow-up corrects it. Most patients do not need this step.
