Veneers

Here's a step-by-step look at how we deliver veneers at Arcadia Medi-Dental:

​​

1. Consultation and Smile Design 

Your journey starts with a comprehensive cosmetic consultation with one of our skilled dentists. We’ll discuss your smile goals—whether you want to correct discoloration, close gaps, or achieve a more symmetrical appearance.

 

Using intraoral cameras and 3D digital scans we design a smile that harmonizes with your facial features, skin tone, and natural bite. This stage is about listening to you, analyzing your needs, and building a treatment plan that reflects your ideal look.

​

2. Digital Impressions

Unlike traditional methods that use uncomfortable putty trays, we capture high-precision digital impressions of your teeth using state-of-the-art 3D scanning technology. This allows for:

​

• Enhanced accuracy for a perfect fit

​

• Shorter chair time

​

• Faster turnaround from the dental lab

​

• A more comfortable, gag-free experience

​

Our digital workflow ensures that every custom veneer is designed to bond seamlessly and look indistinguishable from your natural teeth.

​

3. Tooth Preparation

Once your smile design is finalized, we prepare your teeth by removing a very thin layer of enamel—usually less than 0.5 mm. This creates space for your new veneers and ensures a flush, natural appearance.

 

Worried about discomfort? Don’t be. This step is minimally invasive and virtually pain-free. We also offer local anesthetic and optional sedation dentistry for anxious patients.

​

• Conservative prep techniques

​

• Preserves as much healthy enamel as possible

​

• No downtime or lengthy recovery

 

4. Temporary Veneers

After tooth prep, we place custom temporary veneers so you can leave the office with a beautiful smile while your permanent porcelain veneers are being crafted.

 

These temporary restorations:

​

• Let you “test-drive” your new smile

​

• Maintain appearance and function

​

• Protect your prepped teeth

​

• Provide an opportunity for minor aesthetic tweaks

 

If you notice any issues during this phase—like length, shape, or color—we’ll make adjustments before the final set is placed.

 

5. Final Placement and Polish

Once your custom veneers return from our high-quality dental lab, we schedule your final appointment. Each veneer is:

​

• Checked for fit, color, and aesthetic harmony

​

• Bonded using advanced dental adhesives and curing technology

​

• Polished and adjusted to ensure a natural bite and appearance

 

We also provide full aftercare instructions and tips on how to maintain your veneers for years to come.

 

• Instant smile transformation

​

• Natural translucency and shade matching

​

• Long-lasting results with proper care
