Are you considering a smile makeover? Porcelain veneers might be just the solution you’re looking for! At Noel Dental Arts, we’ve helped countless patients transform their smiles with these remarkable dental enhancements. Let’s walk through what you can expect from your initial consultation to the final reveal of your brand-new smile.

The Initial Consultation

Your journey to a dazzling smile begins with a consultation at our Huntsville office. During this visit, Dr. Jake Noel will examine your teeth, discuss your smile goals, and determine if porcelain dental veneers are the right option for you. We’ll take photos and possibly X-rays of your teeth to help plan your treatment.

Planning Your New Smile

Once we’ve decided that veneers are the best option, we’ll create a customized treatment plan. This may involve:

• Determining how many veneers you need
• Choosing the perfect shade for your new smile
• Taking impressions of your teeth

We might even use digital imaging to show you a preview of your new smile!

Preparing Your Teeth

The next step involves preparing your teeth for the veneers. Don’t worry — this process is typically painless and minimally invasive. We’ll gently remove a thin layer of enamel from the front of your teeth to make room for the veneers. Then, we’ll take another impression of your prepared teeth to ensure your veneers fit perfectly.

Temporary Veneers

While your custom porcelain veneers are being crafted in a dental laboratory (which usually takes about two weeks), we’ll fit you with temporary veneers. These will protect your prepared teeth and give you a glimpse of your new smile.

The Big Reveal

When your permanent veneers arrive, it’s time for the exciting part! We’ll carefully remove your temporary veneers and check the fit and color of your new porcelain veneers. Once everything looks perfect, we’ll bond them to your teeth using a special dental cement and light.

Adjusting to Your New Smile

It may take a few days to get used to your new veneers. Your teeth might feel a bit sensitive to hot and cold at first, but this should subside quickly. We’ll schedule a follow-up appointment to make sure everything feels comfortable and looks great.

Caring for Your Veneers

With proper care, your porcelain veneers can last for many years. Brush and floss regularly, just as you would with your natural teeth. Avoid biting into very hard foods with your veneers, and if you grind your teeth at night, consider wearing a nightguard to protect your new smile.

At Noel Dental Arts, we’re committed to helping you achieve the smile of your dreams. Porcelain veneers are just one of the many cosmetic dentistry options we offer to enhance your smile and boost your confidence.
