What is the Procedure Needed to Obtain Dental Veneers?
Patients interested in porcelain veneers often ask about the process needed to obtain them. Below is a breakdown of the procedure from the first consultation appointment to the final bonding of restoring the smile!
- Consultation appointment. First, patients need to consult with Dr. Edward Camacho to determine if they are good candidates for dental veneers in San Antonio, Texas. Once it is determined that this treatment may be suitable for the smile, digital images and X-rays will be taken of the teeth. These help Dr. Edward Camacho to evaluate the dental structure further and develop a personalized treatment plan. You can even get a no charge (limited time only) virtual consultation!

Smile Virtual Consult
- Impressions of the teeth. Next, impressions of the teeth are made using our digital technology. These are sent off to a professional dental lab, where the veneers will be designed and crafted from high-quality porcelain material.
- Temporary veneers in place. While patients wait for their permanent veneers to be ready, they will be fitted with temporary versions. These are placed over the teeth using a special adhesive to protect their teeth while the veneers are being made.
- Permanent veneers placed. When the permanent veneers are ready, patients will return to our office for placement. Dr. Edward Camacho will ensure they fit correctly before making any adjustments. Any adjustments in color, shape and size are done at this appointment. You will sign a treatment satisfaction form. We do not permanently place any restorations until the patient is 100% happy!
Once he is happy with the fit, he will clean the teeth and prepare them for bonding. A strong, professional dental adhesive is used to place the veneers onto the teeth, which are then cured using a special light. Patients leave our office with a brand-new smile!
