The Procedure for Porcelain Veneers

Getting porcelain veneers is fast and simple.  Porcelain veneers are applied over a two-step process, beginning with a consultation before returning for permanent fitting.  At Houston Dentists at Post Oak, veneers are fitted in a comfortable, relaxing environment with optional oral sedation.

Initial Examination

Porcelain veneers begin with a relaxing visit to our Galleria office.  Meeting with one of our dentists you will discuss your dental goals and learn how veneers can help you achieve them.  For a precise fit, impressions of the teeth will be taken for creating the veneers.

Porcelain veneer creation takes place in a dental lab. Using the impressions taken in our office custom veneers are created offsite, then returned. Once the porcelain veneers are prepared, patients will return for a permanent fitting.

Application

The second visit completes the porcelain veneer process.  Custom veneers are fitted precisely over teeth, concealing the entire visible portion for a flawless appearance.  The veneers will have been color matched to blend with the surrounding teeth, completing the smile. For any gum sculpting, advanced dental lasers offer pain-free and fast results.

In many cases, patients select more than one tooth for porcelain veneers.  Dental veneers may also be included with as part of other dental procedures, such as teeth whitening. Dental veneers look and feel like the teeth they’ve concealed, but better! Dental veneers are permanent and can last a lifetime with proper care.
