What Is The Procedure For Porcelain Veneers?
During the first visit, your teeth will be prepared for veneers by removing a thin layer of enamel from the surface of the teeth that will receive the veneers. The amount removed is as little as ½ millimeter and is comparable to the thickness of a fingernail. This is the approximate thickness of the veneers that will be placed on your teeth. At this same appointment, the dentist will make impressions of your teeth so that the laboratory can fabricate your custom veneers. We will also place temporary veneers until yours arrive.
Your next appointment will be approximately three weeks later. This is when the dentist will place the veneers and make any last adjustments to them in color or shape. A special chemical will be used to strengthen the bond of the porcelain veneers to your teeth.
