How Veneers & Crowns Work

A Case Study

Even though most cases can be completed in just two easy visits less than two weeks apart, there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes. Follow us along to see the step-by-step process of one of our cases and then look at several of our favorite before and after cases.

1. Understand the Goals and Plan the Case

The first step is to take photographs and create models of the patient’s teeth and face so we can evaluate patient concerns and make suggestions as to what would be the best solution.

This very attractive young woman has teeth that are discolored and not in good proportion. The front teeth are long and too big for the shorter side teeth. The desired outcome was to eliminate the discolorations and bring the teeth into a more natural proportion.

2. Create the Desired Result In Advance

Once we made models of the teeth we then used dental wax to change the shape and position of the teeth to the desired proportions. The model allows us to plan the final result in advance and to make temporary veneers.

3. Create and Apply Temporary Veneers

The temporary veneers are applied and the person leaves the office with an improved smile on the very first day! When the temporary veneers are in place we can evaluate how these changes look in the person’s mouth. At this point we make any needed adjustments, take new photographs, create new models and select the final desired tooth shade. All of that information is sent to our technicians who will create the new permanent veneers in the dental lab.

4. Place Permanent Veneers On Teeth

Once the permanent veneers are received from the lab the temporary veneers are removed and the new permanent ones are bonded onto the person’s teeth.

After treatment you can see that the final result is a natural looking enhancement of her smile and that we achieved the desired results by making the teeth in natural proportion and eliminating the discolorations.
