Considering dental veneers? Read on to learn about how to prepare for getting dental veneers. The procedure for dental veneers is minimally invasive and does not require much preparation. However, there are some ways to help ensure the process goes well and to minimize the anxiety that patients often experience before their visit to have veneers placed.

5 Tips to prepare for dental veneers

You can prepare for a dental veneer procedure by learning more about the process, asking questions and raising concerns you have with the dentist, clearing your schedule on the day of the visit, and talking to the dentist about what you can expect as far as results.

1. Understand how the dental veneer procedure works

It is first helpful to gain an understanding of how the dental veneer procedure works by discussing the specifics with your dentist. In general, the process involves preparing the teeth, taking impressions of the teeth, and having the veneers customized in a laboratory before they are sent back to the dentist. The placement procedure is simple and involves ensuring the proper fit, applying an adhesive material, and positioning the veneers for a permanent fit.

2. Ask questions about the procedure

A great way to calm anxieties before the procedure is to ask questions. The more you are informed about dental veneers, the more confident you can feel on the day of the visit. Consider asking questions about what you can do to properly prepare ahead of time and what sensations you are likely to experience during the procedure.

3. Arrange for the day off from work or school

The procedure for veneers does not take long, but the entire visit can take several hours. It is helpful to schedule the appointment on a day that is not hectic. Be sure to arrange for time off from any obligations you have, such as attending work or school, picking your children up from school or practice, or any other daily responsibilities.

4. Talk to the dentist about what kind of results you can expect

Most patients are very impressed with the final results of their dental veneers. However, to ensure you love your results, be sure to understand what they are likely to look like before placement. It is helpful to also discuss what you may feel for the first few days after the procedure ahead of time.

5. Have a plan in place to care for your dental veneers

Keeping your dental veneers looking great in the long term requires good oral hygiene, avoiding foods and drinks that can cause stains, and visiting the dentist for regular cleaning and check-up visits.
