Root Canal Treatment
Consultation and Assessment: The dentist conducts a thorough examination of the patient’s teeth and discusses their goals and expectations. This initial consultation allows the dentist to determine whether laser-filling veneers are the appropriate treatment option.
Digital Impression: Instead of the traditional putty-like material used for impressions, a digital scanner is employed to create a precise 3D image of the patient’s teeth. This digital impression is more comfortable for the patient and provides highly accurate measurements for designing the veneers.
Design and Fabrication: Using specialized software, the dentist designs the veneers to precisely fit the patient’s teeth and achieve the desired aesthetic outcome. The digital design is then sent to a milling machine or a 3D printer, which fabricates the veneers from high-quality materials such as porcelain or composite resin.
Preparation: Before bonding the veneers, the dentist prepares the patient’s teeth by lightly etching the surface to create a better bonding surface. This step is minimal compared to traditional veneer preparation, as laser filling veneers require less alteration of the tooth structure.
Bonding with Laser Technology: The most distinctive aspect of laser filling veneers is the bonding process. Instead of relying solely on dental cement, a specialized dental laser is used to precisely bond the veneers to the teeth. This laser energy activates the bonding agents within the veneers, ensuring a strong and durable attachment.
Final Adjustments: Once the veneers are securely bonded in place, the dentist makes any necessary adjustments to ensure proper fit and bite alignment. This step may involve polishing the veneers to achieve a natural appearance and smooth texture.
