Two Paths to a Perfect Smile

Veneers are thin, strong pieces of porcelain that Dr. Barksdale applies to teeth in your “smile zone”—the teeth most visible when you smile—to make flaws disappear. They are made from porcelain, which has the durability and shine of real tooth enamel. Veneers can be standalone treatments or part of a full smile makeover. Dr. Barksdale ensures they will complement the shade and shape of your other teeth. The goal is not only to hide defects, but to create a seamless, natural appearance.

Dr. Barksdale can explain your options in more detail during a consultation. He may even be able to start your treatment during the same appointment—a painless process that can be completed in just two visits.

Two Appointments to a Gorgeous Smile

Appointment #1: Your Consultation and Tooth Preparation
During your initial visit, Dr. Barksdale will perform a comprehensive dental exam and learn what you want to change about your smile. Based on all the information he gathers he can begin to prepare your treatment outline. Veneers include removing a thin layer of enamel. With either option, a putty-free digital impression of your teeth is taken and sent to a trusted lab for custom-fabrication. Dr. Barksdale will provide temporary veneers to strengthen any trimmed teeth while you wait for your final porcelain restorations.

Appointment #2: Your Confidence Restored
You’ll return to the office a few weeks later to receive your final porcelain, customized veneers. During that visit, Dr. Barksdale will confirm that they match the rest of your smile and fit you comfortably. Once you’re both satisfied, the veneers are firmly bonded to your teeth. Once in place, you can enjoy a renewed level of confidence from knowing that your smile looks spectacular!
