If you've been thinking about improving your smile with porcelain veneers, you might be wondering what the process is really like.  The good news?  It's straightforward, comfortable, and can usually be completed in just a few visits.  Here is a step-by-step look at how veneers can transform your smile.

Step 1:  Consultation

It all starts with a conversation.  During your consultation, we'll talk about your goals, examine your teeth, and decide if veneers are the right solution for you.  

Step 2:  Smile Design

This is where the fun begins!  We will take x-rays and impressions of your teeth as they are today.  Together, we'll design the look of your new smile-deciding shape, shade, and style of your veneers.  The goal is to create a natural look that compliments your face and personality.

Step 3: Minimal Preparation

To make room for your veneers, a very thin layer of enamel (about the thickness of a fingernail) is removed from the front of your teeth.  This ensures your veneers fit seamlessly and look natural.  Don't worry-this step is quick and comfortable.

Step 4:  Temporary Veneers

While your custom veneers are being crafted with my ceramist, we'll place temporary veneers.  These give you a preview of your new smile and protect your teeth until the permanent ones are ready.

Step 5:  Placement of Your Veneers

At your final visit, your veneers are carefully bonded to your teeth.  We'll make any final adjustments so they feel comfortable and look flawless.  Once in place, your veneers instantly transform your smile.

Step 6:  Enjoy Your New Smile

That's it - you're ready to show off your new, confident smile!  With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, your veneers can last 20+ years.

Final Thoughts:

The veneer process is simple, comfortable, and life changing. In just a few appointments, your can go from feeling self-conscious about your teeth, to loving the way your smile looks.  We are here for you when you are ready to begin your journey.  Reach out to our office to schedule your veneer consultation.


I’ve been going to Dr Gombert for years and have never had a complaint! Most visits are standard cleanings and the hygienists are experienced and professional, always do a good job. When I chipped a front tooth a couple years ago Dr Gombert went over multiple options to fix it and I decided to go all out & get veneers - now my teeth look great and feel great too!
