Veneers

Cosmetic Veneers

What is a Cosmetic Veneer?

Cosmetic Veneers™ are ultra-thin shells of ceramic material, which are bonded to the front of your teeth. This procedure requires little or no anesthesia, and can be the ideal choice for improving the appearance of your smile. da Vinci Veneers are placed to mask discolorations, to brighten teeth, and to improve your smile. Highly resistant to permanent staining from coffee, tea, or even cigarette smoking, the wafer-thin da Vinci Veneer can achieve a tenacious bond to the tooth, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing naturalness that is unsurpassed by other restorative options.

What happens during the da Vinci Porcelain Veneers™ restorative procedure?
In most cases, patients need three appointments for the entire procedure:

Diagnosis and treatment planning: It's critical that you take an active role in the smile design. Spend time in the decision-making and planning of your smile. Ask questions and understand the corrective limitations of the procedure. If necessary, have more than one consultation to feel comfortable that Dr. Briney understands your objectives.
Preparation of teeth: This appointment will take from one to two hours. To prepare the teeth for your da Vinci Veneers™, your teeth are lightly buffed to allow for the small added thickness of the veneer. Usually, about a half a millimeter of the tooth is removed, which may require a local anesthetic. At this appointment, a mold is taken of the teeth, which is sent to a da Vinci certified dental lab for the fabrication of the veneers. This should take no longer than two weeks for your new smile to be created. Dr. Briney will fit you with a temporary smile during the fabrication of your new da Vinci Veneers.
Bonding of your da Vinci Veneers: This appointment will take about one or two hours. First, Dr. Briney places the veneers with water or glycerin on the teeth to check their fit and get a true sense of their shade or color. While the veneers are resting on your teeth, make sure you view the aesthetic results and pay particular attention to the color. At this point, the color of the da Vinci Veneers can still be adjusted with the shade of the cement to be used. To apply your da Vinci Veneers, your teeth are cleaned with specific dental cleansers to achieve a firm and permanent bond. Then special cements are sandwiched between the veneer and tooth, a visible light beam initiates the release of a catalyst to harden the cement and your new smile is in place.
