How Veneers Work


A variety of factors contribute to the appearance of your smile. It's not solely about the natural coloration of your teeth, or the effects of coffee, tea, or wine, or even the natural wear and tear over time.

Repeated habits like grinding your teeth, inadequate dental hygiene, or even the effects of aging can contribute to the discoloration, misalignment, or deterioration of teeth. Veneers operate on the surface but bring about profound changes, effectively covering imperfections and enhancing your smile's overall appearance. They are custom-designed to fit your dental structure and color requirements, providing a long-term solution for a range of cosmetic dental concerns—helping you look your best.

Teeth with minor to major chips or broken teeth
Teeth with mild to severe misalignment or irregular shapes
Teeth with moderate to severe discoloration

BAVC TWO-STEP METHOD


Plastic to Porcelain

STEP 1: PLASTIC - Setting the Foundation

In this preparatory stage, temporary plastic veneers serve to protect your teeth. Here's what to expect:
•  We administer local anesthesia for a comfortable experience, with Nitrous Oxide available for extra ease.
•  A minimal amount of enamel is removed, focusing on long-term health and comfort.
•  Temporary veneers are placed immediately, replicating the state of your original teeth and are bonded together. Although functional, they are less aesthetically pleasing than your final veneers will be.

This is the day you've envisioned:
•  A 'try-in' session helps us ensure that your new veneers fulfill your expectations.
•  Your satisfaction is our priority; adjustments are made as necessary before final bonding.
•  Using advanced techniques, your permanent veneers are securely affixed, designed to last.



Optional: Wax - Your Future Smile, Today
