Consultation
We offer virtual consultations so that you can have your first consult in the comfort of your own home! During this appointment, you’ll discuss your goals, how to prepare for your veneers, and make a final decision about whether or not veneers are the right choice for you.
Your custom smile design
Your smile is unlike anyone else’s, and Dr. Sluyk believes it should stay that way. Here, Dr. Sluyk starts from scratch with every smile design because you deserve a smile that looks both natural and authentically you. What looks great on one person may look terrible on another. There are so many factors to take into consideration that you are guaranteed a truly original, customized smile designed just for you.
Temporary veneers
Temporary veneers are essentially the midpoint step. Dr. Sluyk needs to prepare your teeth for your final veneers, meaning that he needs to shave down just a bit of enamel to make room for them. Once the enamel is worn down slightly, he will take impressions of your teeth so that your final veneers will sit flush with your gumline.
Because you can’t walk around without a protective layer on your teeth after this preparation process, he will give you temporary veneers, the veneers that you’ll wear while your final veneers are being custom-made in the lab. These veneers won’t look as natural and won’t be quite as comfortable as the final things, but they protect your teeth and give you a feel for what you can expect at the end.
Final veneer placement
This is the day you’ve been waiting for! Once your final veneers are in, Dr. Sluyk will talk with you about what you loved or disliked about your temporary veneers and make any last-minute adjustments to your permanents. Then, he will bond your veneers to your teeth! You will get the incredible reveal you’ve been waiting for, and you’ll be ready to share your light and beauty with the world!
