It’s completely normal to feel nervous before getting veneers for the first time. At Beverly Dentistry, we really prioritize your comfort. Our warm and welcoming team, led by our caring specialists, ensures you feel at ease from the moment you walk through the door. You’ll find a supportive environment where we’re dedicated to guiding you through every step of the veneer process.

Preparing for Your First Appointment

Before your appointment, we encourage you to reach out and discuss any questions or concerns you might have. Our team will remind you to bring any necessary paperwork. We usually recommend avoiding certain foods that can stain your teeth beforehand to ensure the best results. If you're nervous, don’t hesitate to let us know; we're here to help you feel confident and relaxed.

Your Appointment Walkthrough

When you arrive at Beverly Dentistry, you’ll be greeted warmly by the front desk, who will ensure you are checked in with ease. First, we’ll take some time to chat about your dental history and what you’d like to achieve with your veneers. You’ll then meet with Dr. Gonzales, who is known for her calm demeanor and expert care. One of our long-time clients shared,

“Dr. Gonzales has such a wonderful calm disposition and gentle nature about her that I felt so comfortable.”

Next, you’ll receive a thorough examination. Dr. Gonzales takes time to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the process, explaining what’s happening at each step. We usually take impressions of your teeth, which allows us to create the perfect match for your new veneers.

Aftercare Tips for Your New Veneers

After getting your veneers, it’s normal to feel a little sensitivity for the first few days. We usually recommend following a gentle dental care routine. Remember, maintaining your oral hygiene is key. Brush gently and avoid overly hard or sticky foods for a few days. If you feel any discomfort beyond what we described, please reach out to our team. A follow-up appointment is usually scheduled for a few weeks later, allowing us to ensure everything is healing well.

Embrace the change! Dr. Gonzales and our team will work to ensure you feel welcomed and understood throughout the entire process. You’ll soon be walking out with not just a new smile but renewed confidence too.
