How to Prepare for Your Veneer Application

Are you considering veneers? With a few visits to your dentist in Cohasset, MA, you can have brighter, whiter teeth free from the appearance of chips, cracks, and poor shaping. Yet as with all procedures, we want you to be well prepared for your veneer application. Here’s what our team at Cohasset Dental recommends you do as you prepare for veneers.

1. Do Your Research

First, research your options. We’re here to help with this. From choosing the right type of veneer to understanding how to care for your veneers once they’re on, we can walk you through your options to ensure that you choose the right veneers for your goals and needs. Your initial consultation with Cohasset Dental will cover these factors.

2. Prepare Your Teeth

While this isn’t something you can do on your own, there is a preparation step before we can apply your veneers. First, at home you will want to brush and floss thoroughly. Then, come to our office. We will remove a small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth. This process gives the veneers something to attach to when we place them. After this step, you’ll want to make sure you keep your teeth clean and avoid extremely cold foods or drinks that can cause slight sensitivity. We will take impressions of your teeth to send to our lab to make the veneers.

3. Post-Bonding Care

After we place the veneers on your teeth, a process your dentist in Cohasset, MA, calls “bonding,” you’re free to go home. For the first few days after application, stick to softer foods to avoid any damage to the veneers. Brush and floss like you normally would, and make your follow-up appointments to ensure no adjustments are necessary.

Veneers can bring new life to your smile, and preparation isn’t hard. Schedule a consultation with Cohasset Dental to start on your veneers today.
