The Advanced Porcelain Veneer Procedure at Our Chicago Dental Office
1. Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a consultation with our cosmetic dentist in Chicago. During this appointment, Dr. Clark will:
- Evaluate your dental health and determine if porcelain veneers are the right treatment option.
- Discuss your smile goals, including shape, size, and shade preferences for a perfect fit.
- Take X-rays, impressions, or digital scans of your natural teeth.
- Use digital smile design technology to preview your potential results.
If porcelain veneers aren’t the best solution, our team may recommend alternative cosmetic procedures like professional teeth whitening, Invisalign®, or dental bonding.
2. Digital Smile Design Consultation
Once we determine you’re a candidate for porcelain veneers, Dr. Clark will start the digital smile design process. Using EXOCAD technology, we create a detailed digital map of your new smile. This collaborative process includes:
- Comprehensive photography and digital analysis
- Personalized treatment planning tailored to your goals and facial features
3. Preview Your Results
Our digital design allows you to see your new smile before treatment begins. You’ll receive digital images and have the opportunity to approve your smile design before any work starts.
4. Prototype Creation and Evaluation
During your preparation visit, we create physical prototypes of your veneers for shade evaluation and fit. You can see and feel your new smile before final fabrication.
Return within 48 hours for a prototype evaluation, ensuring your veneers meet aesthetic and functional expectations. Any necessary adjustments are made at this stage.
5. Precision Tooth Preparation
Dr. Clark uses minimally invasive techniques to remove only the minimal amount of enamel needed, preserving your natural tooth structure while preparing for thin porcelain shells.
6. Custom Veneer Fabrication
Your final veneers are crafted using 3D printing technology and premium materials in our dental lab. This ensures:
- Exact fit to your approved design
- Exceptional function, durability, and aesthetics
- Long-lasting results for many years
7. Final Placement & Evaluation
At your delivery appointment, your veneers are bonded, polished, and evaluated for fit, color, and comfort. You leave with a permanent, natural-looking smile that is custom to you.
