What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth to conceal imperfections like chips, stains, gaps, and minor misalignment. This allows you to address every flaw in your smile at once instead of relying on treatment for each individual tooth. Once placed, veneers create one cohesive, polished appearance across your entire smile.
At our Durham practice, veneers can be made from porcelain, offering a lifelike finish that blends right in with your surrounding teeth. With proper care, these enhancements are also remarkably long-lasting, giving patients a smile transformation that holds up for many years.
The Process of Getting Veneers
Getting veneers with us starts with taking digital impressions of your smile. This is a fast, comfortable alternative to traditional putty molds that many patients are relieved to avoid.
Once the scan is complete, Dr. Ulloa will discuss your goals and design a veneer shape and shade that complements your facial features before gently removing a small amount of enamel from each tooth. This step is important because it ensures your veneers sit flush instead of protruding.
From there, our team sends the scans and notes we've made to a local dental lab. There, a skilled team of dental technicians will craft your custom enhancements over the next couple of weeks. Meanwhile, you'll wear temporary veneers to preview your new smile.
Finally, you'll come back for a fitting. You'll have the opportunity to try on your veneers and confirm that they're comfortable and look the way you expected before they're permanently bonded in place, completing your new smile.
