Veneers

Dental veneers are perfect for patients hoping to redesign and reshape their smile with a simple, non-invasive procedure. Those with misaligned, chipped or broken teeth are great candidates for this procedure. We provide our patients with the opportunity to repair their smile with dental veneers.

 

There are many types of veneers available. At our practice, we utilize ceramic veneers. Ceramic veneers cover the existing tooth structure. The process by which veneers are installed takes two to three visits. In the first visit, Dr. Kiani will consult with you to determine if you are a candidate for veneers. Once approved, Dr. Kiani will give you a set of options such as what size, shape and color the veneers will be. The molding process will then begin. This process consists of removing half a millimeter of the enamel from your tooth surface so the veneers are flush with the gum line. We will then take a mold of the teeth and have veneers structured at a dental lab. Creation of the veneers takes approximately 10-14 days.

 

Once the veneers are ready, they will be fitted into the patient’s mouth to see if the shade is correct and to gauge the size. The veneers will then be trimmed to assure a permanent fit. We will then thoroughly clean the area and etch the teeth before applying the bonding agent. Once the bonding agent is applied, the veneer will be placed in the mouth and the bonding agent will be activated by a UV light source. The final step in the process involves a thorough inspection of the area Dr. Kiani will examine your bite, remove any excess cement and make any final adjustments.
