We want you involved throughout the entire smile design process. During your first visit, we will review a model of your proposed teeth. You are free to make changes to your new tooth shape at this time. When you have approved the 3D wax model of your smile, we will begin the restoration process. This process should last no longer than a few hours, and when complete, will leave you in provisional teeth that will look nearly identical to your final restorations. Your final visit will occur approximately one month later. For this visit, we will remove the provisional restorations and evaluate your final restorations before bonding them in place. Shortly thereafter, we will have bonded the final porcelain restorations in place. These final restorations will look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth. We will have taken care of any concerns, leaving you with a beautiful, natural looking and feeling smile. |
