A smile makeover offers many benefits beyond an aesthetic upgrade. It can also transform your self-image, boost your confidence, and set you up for greater social and professional success. At Angels Smiles Dental Care Center, cosmetic dentist Dr. Claire Simmons provides smile makeovers with quality porcelain veneers as well as a beautiful smile guarantee.

Quality, Conservative Smile Makeovers

Porcelain veneers provide a conservative way to transform your smile. A veneer is a thin wafer that is bonded to the front surface of the tooth to give it an entirely new look — such as a different coloration, size, and/or shape. With multiple veneers, the design and spacing of your smile as a whole can be completely reimagined.

This treatment requires minimal alteration of your existing tooth structure. Preparing your teeth for veneers involves removing no more than 0.3 millimeters (about the width of a fingernail) of enamel from the surface of each tooth. In certain cases, we can use no-prep veneers that are bonded to the teeth without the need for any enamel removal.

At Angels Smiles, our veneers are custom-crafted from aesthetic porcelain by a master ceramist. All of our smile makeovers include a digital preview, a trial with provisional veneers, and a beautiful smile guarantee.

Porcelain Veneers: Our Process

Step 1: Exam & Records

At your first visit, Dr. Simmons will perform a comprehensive exam to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy. We’ll also take impressions and photos of your smile for use in creating a smile design. You’ll be invited to share your smile goals (along with any inspiring photos) with Dr. Simmons, who will also provide her own recommendations based on your facial aesthetic.

Step 2: Digital Preview

Together, you’ll arrive at the smile design that best fits your individual needs and aspirations. To give you an idea of how it will look on you, Dr. Simmons will digitally integrate the design into a photo of your face. When everything looks great, Dr. Simmons will create a set of provisional veneers to be placed at your next appointment.

Step 3: Preparation & Try-In

At this visit, Dr. Simmons will prepare your teeth for veneers. To do this, she’ll gently shave a thin margin from the surface of each tooth and roughen and etch the enamel to aid bonding. (If your veneers are no-prep, shaving will not be necessary.) Then, we’ll take impressions of your prepared teeth. Dr. Simmons will apply a temporary bonding agent to your teeth and place your provisionals. She’ll make any adjustments needed to ensure that the provisionals reflect your ideal smile. When you absolutely love your new look, she’ll send all the specifications to our master ceramist, who will recreate the veneers in beautiful porcelain. In the meantime, you’ll wear your temporary ones home and experience life with your new smile!

Step 4: Bonding

Once your veneers are ready, we’ll schedule a time to have them bonded! We’re confident you’ll be overjoyed with your new smile, and Dr. Simmons will make sure you are before making it permanent. When you’re ready, she’ll apply a permanent bonding agent to your teeth and place your porcelain veneers. Your smile journey will be complete!
