What is the process for getting veneers?

Transforming your smile with porcelain veneers at Smiles Art Dentistry typically involves just two to three appointments:

• Consultation and Planning — Dr. Abed examines your teeth, discusses your goals, and determines if veneers are right for you.
• Preparation Visit — We remove minimal enamel from the front surface of your teeth (typically less than a millimeter) to create space for the veneers. Next, we take precise impressions and place temporary veneers on your teeth to protect them. 
• Placement Appointment — Your custom veneers arrive from the dental laboratory, and Dr. Abed checks them for perfect fit and appearance before permanently bonding them to your teeth. Minor adjustments ensure your bite feels natural and comfortable.

Caring for Dental Veneers

Veneers in Houston are not fragile but can be damaged with the wrong type of force. Biting down on something hard or crunchy, biting fingernails, chewing on ice or pens, or using teeth to open packages are all habits that can chip or crack a veneer.

Follow proper oral hygiene, brushing at least twice daily, flossing once, and visiting Smiles Art Dentistry for routine checkups to ensure your teeth and gums are in good condition to support the veneer.
