Q After my first appointment, how long do I have to wait before I come back for my final appointment to have my GlamSmile veneers put on?
Q Should I get my teeth cleaned before my second appointment?
A If your teeth have not been cleaned within six months you should have a professional cleaning. If you plan ahead, you may be able to schedule both your impressions and a cleaning in one visit.
Q With GlamSmile veneers can I use my favorite toothpaste? Will I still be able to floss my teeth?

A GlamSmile veneers will whiten severely stained (even tetracycline) and discolored teeth once and for all. GlamSmile veneers offer a truly affordable whitening solution!
Q My teeth are misaligned, some even overlap. Am I a GlamSmile candidate?
A GlamSmile veneers can definitely change the shape, size and alignment of your teeth making them look straighter and more symmetrical. Since every veneer case is unique, your GlamSmile dentist will assess your smile and provide you with treatment options specific to your individual needs.
Q I think I need braces but I don't want to go through the long, inconvenient and unattractive process. Can I get GlamSmile veneers instead?
A In most cases, yes! Your GlamSmile certified dentist will be able to evaluate your teeth and make the final analysis as to whether orthodontics is necessary. In cases where the misalignment moderate, GlamSmile veneers will change the alignment and the shape of the teeth making them appear straighter and more uniform.
Q I play a lot of sports, what happens if I chip a veneer?
A The GlamSmile lab retains digital files of each GlamSmile case, so if replacement veneers are needed at a later date, they can be quickly produced without a new dental impression. GlamSmile is the only veneer system in the world that offers this unique benefit.
Q What are GlamSmile veneers made of? And how long are they expected to last?
A GlamSmile veneers are made of time-tested, high-quality pure porcelain, the same materials that have been successfully used to make traditional veneers. Many people who got veneers 20 years ago are still enjoying them today with no problems.
Q If for some reason, I wanted to remove the GlamSmile veneers, is that possible?
A Yes, GlamSmile veneers are reversible. This is because GlamSmile veneers do not require the reduction of healthy, sensitive tooth structure. Underneath your GlamSmile veneers, your natural teeth are still healthy, strong and intact.
