If you are thinking about enhancing your smile with porcelain veneers, your journey begins with a consultation designed to understand your needs and craft a treatment plan just for you. At Royal Oak Smiles, every porcelain veneer case starts with a smile design consultation, where our focus is on personalizing your outcome and making sure you are comfortable with every step of the process before any treatment begins.
What Happens During Your Porcelain Veneers Consultation?
During your consultation at Royal Oak Smiles, we sit down with you to discuss your goals and what you hope to achieve with veneers. This is our chance to learn about your specific concerns, such as chips, gaps, discolouration, unevenness, or other cosmetic changes you wish to see in your smile. We take impressions of your teeth and carefully evaluate your bite, shape, and shade to plan veneers that complement your natural appearance. Our team always takes the time to ensure your veneers look refined and natural rather than artificial.
Consultations are flexible to fit your schedule, with evening and weekend appointments available. New patients are welcome, and our NW Calgary clinic is open seven days a week.
Understanding Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom made shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They are designed to address multiple aesthetic concerns, including gaps, chips, permanent staining, minor misalignment, and uneven tooth shapes or sizes. Our team carefully plans every case in detail so your new smile is tailored to your features.
If you are considering other treatment options, we are happy to discuss alternatives such as composite bonding or teeth whitening for less significant changes.
What to Bring and How to Prepare
Arriving prepared helps you get the most out of your consultation. Bringing information about your goals, the benefits and risks of treatment, and any questions about outcomes can help guide your visit. Consider learning about porcelain veneers ahead of time, as well as the options we offer, so you feel at ease and informed.
Questions to Ask During Your Consultation
We encourage you to write down any questions and bring them with you. Good topics to ask about include
- The procedure itself and how it is performed
- How to care for your veneers long-term
- What recovery looks like and any potential risks
- Materials used in your veneers
- Cost estimates and available payment options
- The possibility of combining veneers with other treatments, like gum contouring
Our team is here to answer your questions fully and honestly, our goal is to help you feel confident in your decision.
What Happens After the Consultation?
Following the consultation, we provide a clear cost estimate that reflects your unique needs and goals. The exact price will depend on the number of teeth being treated and the complexity of your case. Porcelain veneers are typically considered a cosmetic treatment, and most dental insurance providers do not cover them, but coverage can vary and we can help confirm your specific plan. We direct bill most major Alberta insurance providers and offer flexible financing options for your convenience.
What Sets Our Consultation Process Apart?
We believe in a personalized and honest approach to recommending cosmetic dental treatments. Our team collaborates with you to select the treatment or combination of treatments that fits your unique dental concerns and personal goals, rather than a one size fits all solution.
We know your time is valuable, so we offer extended hours, including evenings and weekends, to make your consultation as easy to schedule as possible. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff is here to put you at ease throughout your veneers experience.
