A consultation typically precedes the veneers process. It involves a one-on-one discussion about your cosmetic goals and whether veneers will achieve them. This is followed by an extensive examination of your teeth, particularly their alignments, health, and enamel condition. Afterward, the dentist will create a treatment plan for the procedure.
Our Folsom dentist will shave a layer of your enamel(typically less than a millimeter) to keep the veneer from protruding in front of the other teeth. Afterward, the dentist will use a putty-like mold to take impressions of your teeth and send them to a lab responsible for manufacturing your custom veneers.
Your veneers will be ready in around three weeks, and the dentist will call you in to place them on your teeth. The dentist will first check the color and shape of your veneers to ensure they match your natural teeth. If so, they’ll apply adhesive to the back of the veneers and the enamel of the affected teeth before placing and positioning the veneers on your teeth.
The dentist will expose the veneers to a special blue light to cement them in place. After, they’ll make final adjustments to the veneers by trimming and shaping it until they achieve the desired shape. The dentist will then give you instructions for taking care of your teeth and veneers so you can get the most out of them.

The veneer process isn’t reversible since it involves shaving off a little bit of the enamel. Removing the veneers means exposing the sensitive enamel to the external environment, leading to tooth hypersensitivity.
