Dental Veneers Process at Suave Dental Clinic
At Sauve Dental Clinic, we affirm and reaffirm during the multiple steps of the dental veneers procedure that veneers have to be aesthetically pleasing, and we are capable of doing so during the provisional try-on, and after the final adherent.
Here are the clinical steps of dental veneers:
1. Professional Dental Consultation:
At Suave Dental Clinic, Assessed by our professional dentists, assess the patient’s liability to be indicated to veneers or not, and the patient’s needs and final expectations.
2. Treatment Planning:
Customize the treatment plan and if the patient needs periodontal procedures. We intend to discuss the cost, the steps, and the duration of the procedure from the start of the dentist’s intervention to the moment the veneers adhere to the teeth.
The duration of Dental veneer procedures in Turkey is considered so much shorter and reliable than in the UK, USA, and many other countries as it is just done in a maximum of five days.
3. Tooth Preparation:
It’s the minimally invasive tooth preparation approach that starts by shaving a minimum of 0.3mm (Laminate veneers or lumineers) and a maximum of 1mm of undecayed enamel and dentine, and it depends on how badly the tooth is decayed or malformed and how the dental veneer is going to fix the problem.
4. Impression Taking :
Taking an impression for veneers is the most critical step after tooth preparation, professional dentists at Sauve Clinic ensure that this step is done with high accuracy and by the suitable kind of rubber base material for the tooth preparation for veneers, so the fabricated dental veneers rely on this high accuracy, highly detailed impression.
5. Fitting and Bonding:
Before the dentist cements the veneers he asks the patient for the approval of the feel and look, then comes the step of fitting and bonding to the tooth structure.
Veneer cementation is fundamental; it should be done with extreme care. At Sauve Dental Clinic we use a purely light-cured luting agent to prevent any colour change during the curing process. We also confirm that absolute isolation during the cementation procedure is essential for bond maintenance and longevity.
