Do you know how a dentist can predict how your smile will look before he or she makes it for you? With today's technology it is a straight forward and effective system that can accomplish great results.
The dentist begins by listening to what it is that they are trying to create in their smile. Brighter teeth? More teeth showing with a smile? Elimination of chipping? Softer appearance? Etc. Many time clients dont know what can be done or what it is they really want, but they can provide enough insight that the design can begin. Then impressions of your existing teeth are taken and fabrication of working models starts. Next a wax-up is done on your models what they believe will look great, function optimally and meet your expectations. Dentists want to enhance your smile and improve the function as well. Next he will take a silicone impression of the wax-up. With the aid of this silicone form he/she can temporarily add plastic to your teeth in order to demonstrate how the final crowns or veneers will appear.
The next step is to alter your teeth as needed. With Lumineers or minimal preparation veneers no anesthetic is required. With traditional veneers or crowns, anesthetic will be utilized and the teeth will be prepared. The temporaries will be placed to serve as prototypes for you final porcelain veneers or crowns. In this fashion we can truly evaluate how everything will appear in your mouth and face prior to the construction of your final veneers or crowns.
The final step is to bond your porcelain veneers or crowns to place to create that natural beautiful smile you have been wanting. This is usually completed within two weeks of the alteration of your teeth.
Achieving a beautiful, natural and functional smile for clients in a comfortable and predictable fashion, is what these steps are all about. Once the necessary steps are taken to avoid surprises the results are guarantied and we can all smile. - 15252
