Thinking about transforming your smile with dental veneers, but want to better understand the process? This post is for you! Considering the drastic and lasting impact they have on your smile, the veneers procedure is not as intense as you might think. Keep reading to learn more.

Do Veneers Require Oral Surgery?

While veneers are a permanent solution, they don’t actually require surgery. The process begins with a consultation. During this visit, we’ll talk about what you want to get out of veneers and work with you to design the smile of your choosing using our advanced software.

The most invasive part of the treatment is preparing your natural teeth for the veneers. For this, we will remove some enamel from the surface of the tooth. This creates space for the veneer to be securely adhered. This makes the treatment considered permanent since enamel cannot grow back.

Then, impressions are taken that will inform the custom shape of your veneers. The impressions then head to a lab where your veneers are produced. You’ll wear temporary veneers in the meantime to protect your teeth.

When your real porcelain veneers are ready for you, you’ll return to our office once again to have the veneers permanently bonded to your teeth. This time, you’ll leave with a flawless new smile!

Why Get Dental Veneers?

Veneers are a versatile cosmetic solution. In fact, you can get just one veneer or we can use them to transform your entire smile. Veneers work wonders to cover chips and cracks, close gaps, fix discoloration, and alter and improve the size and shape of the teeth.

Whether you want to cover up a cracked or discolored tooth, or if you want to completely transform your smile, we can help you do either with porcelain veneers. We accept a variety of payment options to make treatment affordable. Contact us today to schedule a cosmetic consultation at Farmington Dental & Orthodontics!

From the time I walked through the door I was treated with understanding & kindness. Everyone that I dealt with are very knowledgeable, patient & kind. I had avoided dentists longer than I care to admit but once I found Nick Dollar I will never look for another dentist. I recommend his office to ANYONE who is looking for a dentist. No one asked me to give a review...I did it because I truly believe in his work, people skills & staff is top notch. I usually dont take this kind of time for reviews but they are worth it.

So I’ve neglected going to the dentist for half my life and I decided to go here because this was the last place I went when I was 16. They still had me on file, Toni at the front desk was more than helpful. Full of laughter. The coffee machine was on point. And Ashley in the back made the scary experience enjoyable and full of positives that I will surely carry with me. See y’all at my deep clean.

I've been going to Farmington Dental for years and have never had a negative experience. I only write this review now because I had a particularly helpful visit. While there for a routine cleaning, I got to talking with Kristin about the microbiology classes I teach. She made some observations that inspired me to approach the latter half of the semester differently, and it was a super helpful change! I guess all that is to say that the workers are competent...but also pleasant and helpful. :P

I’ve had traumatic dental experiences in the past and am unfortunately one of those people who require a little more juice to get fully numbed. Farmington Dental not only managed to numb me completely but also prescribed an anxiety medication for the visit which helped ease the tension of getting in the chair. This is one of two dental experiences I can remember without experiencing pain and the other experience I was asleep. I’ll definitely be going back.
