The first step you can take toward veneers is looking at veneer photography. Most dentists have smile galleries, or testimonials from patients who received veneers. This kind of homework can help you pick the smile you want.
Next, look in the mirror. How close is your smile to the pictures? How many teeth do you show when you smile? Good smile design is not one size fits all, and the number of teeth visible in your smile zone is essential.
You can choose to get full veneers, or just veneers for your smile zone. In some cases, if just two or three teeth are flawed, you can get by with that many veneers. Helpfully, veneers are priced per tooth. They are also made to order, either in the office (if the dentist has a milling machine) or offsite in a laboratory.
Knowing exactly what you want will expedite your process, and ensure you’re prepared for your porcelain veneer consult
