Transform Your Smile With Dental Veneers

A smile makeover can be life changing, and we absolutely love it when we are given the opportunity to be a part of this major life event. Showing off your smile is a huge confidence booster and can have a huge impact on your quality of life. One great way to achieve this is with dental veneers.

Often times the first step to an amazing outcome is to do a mock-up either digitally or directly in the mouth. We can design and build the desired outcome out of a temporary material and transfer that directly into your mouth to show you what is possible. This is done without even touching the tooth!

Veneers are a thin layer of porcelain that is bonded to underlying tooth structure, depending on the patient’s initial smile and desired results. Veneers are a fantastic way to improve color shape, and size of the teeth showing in your smile. Although veneers can be done in as few as 2 appointments, to achieve optimum results some cases may require additional steps such as Invisalign® and whitening first to produce optimum results.

How the Veneer Process Works

Patients usually need to make two trips to the dental office to get Veneers. Here's what to expect in these two visits:
  • First Visit Planning and Tooth Preparation: Your first appointment begins with a thorough exam to determine if veneers are right for you. If so, we gently reshape the surface of your teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel to ensure a natural fit. Impressions of your teeth are then taken and sent to the lab, where your custom veneers are crafted. In the meantime, temporary veneers are placed to protect your teeth and maintain your smile.
  • Second Visit Veneer Placement: Once your permanent veneers are ready, we remove the temporaries and carefully bond the new veneers to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive. A special light is used to set the bond, creating a durable, natural-looking smile that you’ll be proud to show off.

When to Consider Veneers

Veneers are an excellent solution for a variety of cosmetic dental concerns. You may benefit from veneers if you have:

CONSULT

This is the first step in the full arch process. During this appointment, you will meet with your Dr. Kurt O. Bally DMD FICOI to discuss your needs and options for dental implants. The consultation will typically take about an hour. This first and free visit is $525 value.
STEP 1
STEP 2

RECORDS

Your dentist will take a series of records, including dental x-rays, 3D scans, and photographs. These records will be used to create a treatment plan and to fabricate your dental implants.

PRE-SURGICAL CONSULT

This appointment is held before the surgery to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure, as well as the recovery process. You will also have a chance to ask any questions you may have.
STEP 3
STEP 4

SURGERY

This is the procedure where the implants are placed into your jawbone. The surgery typically takes about 2 hours per jaw and is done safely with oral anesthesia. All patients leave with their new temporary teeth on the day of the surgery and will return within 1-2 weeks to have their first post-op visit and receive their fist implant prototype teeth. It is important to remain on a very soft diet after surgery and before receiving your first prototype.

PROTOTYPES

1-2 weeks after your surgery you will return to check your healing and receive your first set of implant prototype teeth that will be attached directly to your implants. We allow up to 3 versions of teeth during the healing process to ensure the dentist and patient is happy with the look and feel. As your implants heal your dentist will create a series of prototypes for your implant bridge. These prototypes will be used to test the fit and function of the bridge before it is permanently placed.
STEP 5
STEP 6

HEALING

The implants will need to heal for 4-6 months before the next step can be taken. Dr. Bally will also provide a night guard to help prevent excess pressure from going to your implants. As you heal you will remain on a soft diet.

PROTOTYPING AND VERIFICATION

Once the implants have healed, your dentist will create a final prototype of your dental bridge. This prototype will be verified to ensure that it is the correct size, shape, and color. Before authorizing the fabrication of your new zirconia implant smile.

MAINTENANCE

Your zirconia implant smile will need to be maintained on a regular basis to ensure that it continues to function properly. This may include cleaning, adjustments, and checkups.

Stained or Discolored Teeth

Teeth can lose their brightness over time due to aging, certain foods and drinks, or smoking. Veneers can restore a whiter, more vibrant smile.
