What Is Instant Orthodontics? [Video Walkthrough]

Orthodontic treatment is notorious for slow progress. In many cases, patients have to wait almost two years for their smiles to straighten. And while clear aligners accelerate this process, they still fall short of the immediate transformation that many patients desire. But what if you could experience instant orthodontic treatment, not from braces, but from dental veneers? These porcelain shells cover misalignments in your smile, effectively “straightening” your teeth without the usual waiting period! If you’re interested in instant orthodontics, we recommend you visit our office in Foley, AL. There, we will determine if you’re eligible for veneers and create a custom treatment plan to straighten your smile.

What Is Instant Orthodontics?

Instant orthodontics is the process of using porcelain veneers to straighten your smile. Rather than actually moving your teeth, veneers adhere to the front of your enamel to hide the imperfections of your natural smile. For minor misalignments and small gaps or overlaps, veneers are an excellent solution!

However, your teeth must be healthy for veneer treatment. Because the procedure is mostly cosmetic, your smile must be in good condition before we begin treatment. If there are any signs of gum disease or tooth decay, we must treat those first before placing dental veneers.

During your consultation with us, we will assess your smile and find any pre-existing issues that require treatment. Then, we’ll design a custom treatment plan to redesign your smile with veneers. Not only are veneers great for straightening your smile, but they can also change the shape and size of your teeth, as well as the color. Many patients use veneer treatment to create their ideal look, giving their smile a total makeover!

The Instant Orthodontic Process

The instant orthodontic process is much faster than traditional orthodontics. Instead of waiting for your teeth to shift, we simply cover the front of your teeth in two simple appointments.

At your first procedural appointment, we will prepare your teeth for veneers. The preparation process involves removing the top layer of your front-facing enamel to make room for your veneers. By giving veneers a place to sit flush against your smile, we make your smile transformation look more natural.

While our lab fabricates your custom veneers, you’ll wear a temporary set of veneers to protect your smile. During this short waiting period, you can assess what you like about your temporary veneers and request any changes you’d like reflected in the final version.

Then, at your second appointment, we’ll remove the temporary veneers and place your final veneers. If you’re happy with the way they look and fit, we’ll bond them in place to straighten your smile!

Financing for Dental Veneers

Typically, dental insurance won’t cover porcelain veneers as they’re a cosmetic procedure. But without insurance coverage, veneers may be out of reach for patients on a budget.

Fortunately, we offer third-party financing options for veneers!

Riviera Dental Care partners with third-party financing companies to help split your costs, making them more manageable. Rather than paying the full cost of your procedure up front, enroll in a payment plan that spreads out your costs in monthly payments!

With the help of our experienced finance team, we can help you understand your insurance coverage, apply for flexible financing, and find a plan that works for your budget.
