What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are ultra-thin, custom-designed shells placed over the front surfaces of your teeth to enhance their appearance, strength, and function. They are one of cosmetic dentistry’s most transformative solutions by elevating smiles by correcting concerns like chips, stains, gaps, misalignments, and irregular shapes, all with minimal tooth alteration.

Veneers at Red Rose Dentistry are:

• Crafted from high-quality, stain-resistant dental porcelain or composite
• Matched meticulously to your natural tooth color and shape
• Designed to harmonize with your unique facial features

With veneers, even subtle improvements can lead to dramatic changes—restoring not just teeth, but self-confidence and everyday joy.

The Importance of Diagnostic Wax-Ups: Preview Your New Smile

Choosing to transform your smile is a personal journey that should feel exciting and not confusing. That’s why we offer diagnostic wax-ups as a foundational part of our veneer process. A diagnostic wax-up is a hand-sculpted, lifelike model of what your final results will look like it is made just for you, before any irreversible dental work is done.

As Dr. Emily Eckdahl explains:

“I think marketing that we can do a wax-up (mock-up of the final results) makes people excited to see what their smile could look like.”

How do diagnostic wax-ups work?

1. Impressions and Photographs: After your initial consultation, we take detailed digital impressions and photographs of your teeth.
2. Artisan Mock-Up: Using these as a blueprint, our dental laboratory hand-crafts a wax replica of your teeth with the planned veneer improvements.
3. Visualization & Feedback: You’ll get to “preview” your new smile, seeing not only the enhancements but also how they fit your face and personality. We encourage your feedback, ensuring adjustments can be made until you feel genuinely excited about your transformation.

This extra layer of care exemplifies our commitment to transparency, thoroughness, and individualized dentistry. So you always know what to expect.

Veneer & Wax-Up Process: What to Expect

Transparency builds trust. Here’s what your step-by-step experience will look like:

1. Complimentary Consultation

We begin with a complimentary consultation to discuss your goals, answer questions, and learn your dental history. You’ll never feel rushed. This is about you, your hopes, and your story.

2. Exam & Records

Digital images, x-rays, and impressions are taken, ensuring we understand both your smile’s beauty and its function.

3. Diagnostic Wax-Up

Our favorite part! Using your unique impressions, we create a physical model showing exactly how your smile will look with veneers. You can see, touch, and even “try out” the new contours with a temporary material, so there’s no substitute for this in-person preview.

4. Smile Design and Customization

Using your feedback, Dr. Eckdahl personalizes every detail, from minor adjustments in shape or length to choosing the ideal shade until you’re ready to move forward.

5. Minimal Tooth Preparation

Veneers often require only a gentle reshaping of the natural tooth enamel, preserving as much healthy structure as possible.

6. Precise Placement

Your permanent veneers are placed, adjustments are made, and you walk out the door with a smile that looks natural, feels comfortable, and radiates confidence.

7. Ongoing Care

We protect your investment with guidance for long-term care by combining modern techniques with “traditional healthcare values with compassion and attention to detail.” Your new smile is designed to last and to thrive.
