Dental veneers are a thin piece of porcelain custom-crafted and placed on each tooth to give the appearance of naturally beautiful teeth. These veneers are applied through a simple and painless procedure. Once placed, the recipient enjoys a dazzling smile that is durable and easy to care for. Patients may want to consider this option because of undesirable shape of their teeth, teeth that are too short, or to restore brightness that cannot be achieved with professional whitening methods. Residents in and around Longview, TX are invited to schedule an appointment with Dr. Clint Bruyere for a consultation regarding dental veneers.

During the initial visit, Dr. Bruyere will examine a patient to determine their candidacy for aesthetic enhancement with dental veneers. Patients will be given an opportunity to view a mock-up that will simulate the results that may be expected with the dental veneer procedure. This will allow the patient to ascertain whether this result is what they are looking for. If it is, then the dentist and the patient will discuss the goals that are desired with the porcelain veneers, such as sizing and shade of white.

The patient will undergo two visits to achieve their new look. The first one will involve a simple removal of a very thin amount of enamel from the teeth that will receive the veneers. This serves to make the result look and feel natural, give the veneers a good surface to bond to, and thus improve the appearance of the teeth. This will be done in the office, and it often requires no anesthesia because it is such a small amount of adjustment. Rest assured that Dr. Bruyere does whatever is required to provide a comfortable experience. Impressions will be made of the patient’s mouth, which is used by a lab to design the patient’s veneers. Patients leave this visit with temporary veneers in place to allow them to function normally until their permanent ones can be applied.

On the return visit in a few weeks, the temporaries are removed, and each porcelain veneer is adjusted as necessary for an ideal fit and appearance. The permanent veneers are bonded in place with adhesive, activated with a specially designed light. Patients are treated to a beautiful, gleaming smile.
