The smile is completed at a fitting appointment which takes approximately 2 hours.
What is your 'final smile'?
This ‘final smile’ stage is often 2-3 weeks after the preparation appointment. We will only fit the final smile makeover if you have approved of the new look on the model, and have had a preview via a digital image. If there are areas you would like to change, this can always be done where we would make new temporary veneers whilst the alterations are made and call you for a new visit to fit the final veneers.
Removing the trial smile

The trial smile is carefully removed, and the new restorations are tested for fit and colour accuracy. If the dentist is totally happy, they will be bonded in place with strong cement.
The cement is carefully chosen, as this can also affect the colour of the fitted veneers. The shade can be either translucent, white, pink, or natural. The cement is often set with a dental light. This visit is often 90 minutes to 150 minutes long.
- Keeping good gum health and no bleeding gums (i.e. if you follow the aftercare guidelines as advised).
- Excellent cooperation during the cementation of the restorations.
The final smile stage allows us to ensure that the appearance is up to your standards but also lets us deal with any issues with the health, structure and bite of the teeth that has been corrected in the treatment journey.
This is normally 1-7 days after the fitting appointment. We carefully check your bite and appearance and ensure you are comfortable and happy with your new smile. Final photographs of your new smile are taken at this visit; so please dress your best for this visit!
We sometimes advise the patient to have a bite guard made to protect the teeth for the long term. This should be worn at night time. The bite guard can be made from soft or hard plastic material, and you will be guided on what is most appropriate for you.
Continuing care of your final teeth is very important for a long-lasting smile.
