The Veneer Process: What to Expect

In this video, Dr. JoEllen Havron outlines the step-by-step procedure for porcelain veneers, from initial consultation to final placement. Schedule your consultation at Riviera Dental Care to start your journey toward a beautiful, long-lasting smile.

The procedure for porcelain veneers typically involves two main appointments after an initial consultation.

At your consultation visit, we discuss your goals, the look you want to achieve, and any specific preferences you have for your smile. Some patients bring photos for reference, which helps us design veneers that align with their desired outcome.

At your first treatment appointment, we prepare the teeth with a minimal reduction, take impressions or digital scans, and place temporary veneers to protect your teeth while your custom veneers are being crafted.

At your second appointment, we remove the temporaries and bond the final porcelain veneers securely to your teeth. Once completed, you leave with a natural, beautiful, and long-lasting smile.
