Have you ever wondered how those picture-perfect smiles you see on celebrities and influencers are achieved? More often than not, the secret behind their flawless grins is porcelain veneers. These thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials are designed to cover the front surface of teeth, improving their appearance and giving you that Hollywood smile you’ve always dreamed of.

The Journey to a Perfect Smile: From Consultation to Final Results

If you’re considering porcelain veneers, you might be curious about what the process entails. Let’s walk through the journey from your initial consultation to the moment you flash your new, radiant smile.

Step 1: The Consultation

Your journey begins with a consultation at Advocate Dental of Palatine. During this visit, Dr. George Skoog DDS will examine your teeth, discuss your smile goals, and determine if porcelain veneers are the best option for you. This is your opportunity to ask questions and express any concerns you may have.

Step 2: Treatment Planning

If you decide to proceed with veneers, Dr. Skoog will create a customized treatment plan. This may involve taking X-rays, photographs, and impressions of your teeth to ensure your veneers are tailored to your unique smile.

Step 3: Preparation

To prepare your teeth for the veneers, a small amount of enamel (about 0.5mm) will be removed from the tooth surface. This step ensures that the veneers will fit seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Step 4: Temporary Veneers

While your custom veneers are being crafted in a dental laboratory, you’ll wear temporary veneers to protect your prepared teeth and give you a preview of your new smile.

Step 5: Fitting and Bonding

Once your permanent veneers are ready, you’ll return to our office for the fitting. Dr. Skoog will carefully place each veneer, checking for fit, shape, and color. Any necessary adjustments will be made before the veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth.

Step 6: Final Results and Aftercare

After the bonding process, you’ll leave our office with your brand-new smile! Dr. Skoog will provide you with care instructions to ensure your veneers last for years to come.
