Dear Patients, 

We are so excited to see your smiling faces! We have missed the conversations, the laughter, and everything about our relationship with you. In your absence, we have been busy! Like every other place you visit, our office will look a little different when you arrive for your next appointment. 

During the week of May 4, we will begin reaching out to those of you who had appointments in the last few weeks which were cancelled. We anticipate resuming patient visits beginning the week of May 11. 

In an effort to kept you and our staff safe, we have implemented some new screening protocols to include checking temperature. We have re-arranged the patient waiting area to allow for significant space between patients as well as staggered scheduling of appointments. We have added filtration systems to our operatories. Upon arrival, you will be given the opportunity to wash your hands and use a specific mouth rinse to reduce bacterial load. Our team will also be dressed a little differently. Behind our masks are the same smiling faces that you have always known. 

As we reach out to you to reschedule lost appointments, please feel free to ask questions or express concerns to our team members. As before we are and will continue to be here to provide the safest, most exceptional dental care. 

All the best, 


Doctors Tal and Leah Wilkins

Veneers

No one likes living with stained, chipped, or gapped teeth.

The cosmetic dentists at the Center for Dentistry in Aiken, SC, use porcelain veneers to help our patients achieve more attractive smiles.

Why is this such a popular cosmetic option?

The Benefits

Easy Procedure

After an initial consultation, applying fully customized veneers can typically be completed in just two office visits. 

Natural Appearance

These restorations are made from high-quality dental porcelain that looks virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.

Durable Materials

The materials used in dental veneers are durable enough to endure normal daily functions with a minimal risk of them breaking or becoming detached.

A Closer Look

These restorations consist of ultra-thin, customized porcelain. Dr. Leah Wilkins or Dr. Talmadge Wilkins will attach them in a simple, comfortable procedure that usually requires just two appointments. Dental veneers can be a great option for patients who want to obscure surface-level cosmetic imperfections quickly and effectively.

As a person who has struggled with dental phobia my whole adult life, I was immediately put to ease and reassured that I was in the best hands to see me through my journey.  I appreciate the time and concern that was provided to me and the excellent care I received. Great office, great staff and  great Doctors.

Treatment Timeline

If you think porcelain veneers might be the right solution for your cosmetic needs, schedule a consultation with our accomplished dentists at the Center for Dentistry in Aiken, SC. During your initial appointment, our doctors will assess your candidacy. If they determine that veneers are the right choice for you, they will schedule the first of two cosmetic dentistry appointments.

Tooth Preparation

The dentist begins the process of placing dental veneers by removing a small amount of enamel from each tooth that will receive a veneer. This keeps the restoration flush with surrounding teeth, avoiding a bulky look. Once the preparation is complete, we will take impressions.

Veneer Placement

You will return for a second appointment in about two weeks when the veneers are ready for placement. Our doctors will place your custom-made veneers onto your teeth and secure them with dental cement. 

Bonding

Our doctors will use a special light to make the dental cement harden quickly. Once the adhesive is fully cured, your porcelain veneer will have all of the functionality of a regular tooth.

Smile!

After your porcelain veneer appointment, you will leave our dental office in Aiken, SC, with a bright, consistent, healthy-looking smile. No one will be able to tell your restorations from your natural teeth!

Do I qualify for porcelain veneers?

Porcelain Veneer Candidacy

Porcelain veneers are a great option for most patients who have an imperfect tooth they would like to enhance. However, veneers may not be the best choice for everybody. There are a few factors that can affect your candidacy for dental veneers, including:

Healthy Teeth & Gums

To qualify for any form of cosmetic dentistry, you need to be free of gum disease and cavities. Our cosmetic dentists must resolve these oral health issues before applying porcelain veneers.

Ready for Permanent Change

Because this cosmetic procedure requires removing a layer of enamel, the tooth will always require some kind of restoration. Patients must be comfortable with making this permanent change.

Only Minor Misalignment

Veneers are a great choice for patients who have only slightly crooked, overlapping, or gapped teeth. If you have more severe misalignment, a treatment such as orthodontics may be a better solution.
