The Veneer Treatment Process
Consultation and Treatment Planning
Preparation
Once you've decided to proceed with veneers, the next step involves preparing your teeth. This usually involves removing a small amount of enamel from the front surface of your teeth to make room for the veneers. Impressions of your teeth are then taken and sent to a dental laboratory where your veneers will be custom-made. In the meantime, you may be fitted with temporary veneers to protect your teeth.
Bonding
The final step in the veneer treatment process involves bonding the veneers to your teeth. Once your veneers are ready, Dr. Cook will carefully position and adhere them to your teeth using a special bonding material. She will then fine-tune the fit and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a natural look and comfortable fit.
The Benefits Of Veneers
Improved Aesthetics
Veneers can drastically improve the appearance of your teeth and smile. They can correct a wide range of cosmetic dental issues like discoloration, chips, gaps, and minor misalignments. They are designed to mimic the look of natural teeth, providing a realistic and aesthetically pleasing result. Veneers can be customized to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking smile.
Durability and Longevity
Veneers are made from durable materials like porcelain or composite resin, making them resistant to staining and damage. With proper care, veneers can last for many years, making them a long-term solution for enhancing your smile.
Boosted Confidence
A beautiful smile can do wonders for your self-confidence. With veneers, you can feel proud of your smile and show it off with confidence. They can help you feel more comfortable and confident in social or professional situations.

What Are Veneers and How Can They Improve My Smile?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front side of your teeth. At Sauk Trail Dental, Dr. Rachel Cook uses veneers as a solution to various dental issues, including discolored, worn down, chipped, broken, misaligned, uneven, irregularly shaped, or gapped teeth. Veneers can drastically improve your smile by providing a natural tooth appearance. They are stain-resistant and can make darker teeth appear whiter, offering an approach to long-lasting smile perfection.
What Is the Process of Getting Veneers at Sauk Trail Dental?
The process of getting veneers typically involves three visits to our Saukville-based practice. The first visit is for consultation and diagnosis. Dr. Cook will discuss your needs and expectations, explain the procedure, and determine the type and style of veneers that best fit your requirements.
The second visit is for preparation. A small amount of enamel is removed from your tooth to make room for the veneer. Then, an impression or model of your tooth is made and sent to a dental lab where your veneers will be custom-made. This process usually takes 2-4 weeks.
The third visit is for bonding. Dr. Cook will first place the veneer on your teeth to check the fit and color, making adjustments as necessary. Once everything is perfect, the veneer is cemented into place, and a special light beam is used to harden and set the bond.
How Long Do Veneers Last?
Veneers generally last between 7 and 15 years. After this period, they need to be replaced. However, the longevity of your veneers largely depends on how you care for them. Good oral hygiene practices, regular dental visits, and avoiding using your veneers to bite or chew hard objects will extend their lifespan.
Are Veneers Right for Everyone?
Veneers are a versatile dental solution, but they may not be suitable for everyone. They are not recommended for patients with poor oral health, weakened teeth, or those who have inadequate amount of existing enamel on the tooth surface. Additionally, people who clench or grind their teeth are typically not good candidates for veneers, as these habits can damage the veneers. Dr. Cook at Sauk Trail Dental will conduct a thorough dental examination to determine if veneers are the right option for you.
What Is the Cost of Veneers?
The cost of veneers varies depending on several factors, including the type of veneers chosen, the number of teeth being treated, and your specific dental needs. At Sauk Trail Dental, we understand that veneers are an investment in your smile and confidence. We offer payment options and can help you understand your insurance coverage. During your consultation, Dr. Cook will provide a detailed cost breakdown and discuss financing options to help make your dream smile more affordable.
How Should I Care for My Veneers?
Proper care is essential for maintaining the longevity and appearance of your veneers. While veneers are stain-resistant, they still require regular maintenance. Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste and soft-bristled toothbrush, and floss daily to maintain good oral hygiene. Avoid biting on hard objects like ice or using your teeth to open packages. Regular check-ups with Dr. Cook at Sauk Trail Dental will help ensure your veneers remain in optimal condition. If you participate in sports, consider wearing a mouthguard to protect your veneers from potential damage.
