|
| The whole procedure usually requires 2-3 visits. |

|
|
| How is the procedure performed? |
|
One tooth or many teeth can simultaneously undergo the veneering
process described below:
-
Diagnosis and treatment planning.
This first step involves active participation between the candidate and the
dentist. Explain to the dentist the results that you are trying to achieve.
During this appointment the dentist will examine the teeth to make sure dental
veneers are appropriate for you and discuss what the procedure will involve and
some of its limitations.
The dentist also may require X-rays and possibly make impressions of your mouth
and teeth.
-
Preparation.
To prepare a tooth for a veneer, the dentist will remove about millimeter of
enamel from the tooth surface, which is an amount nearly equal to the thickness
of the veneer to be added to the tooth surface.
Before trimming off the enamel, the dentist might require the need for a local
anesthetic to numb the area. Next, the dentist will make a model or impression
of the tooth. This model is sent out to a dental laboratory, which in turn
constructs the veneering.
In some professional dental centers the whole procedure takes only2-3 hours.
But in other centers it usually takes 1 to 2 weeks for your dentist to receive
the veneers back from the laboratory. For very unsightly teeth, temporary
dental veneers can be placed for an additional cost.
-
Bonding .
Before the dental veneer is permanently cemented to the tooth, the dentist will
temporarily place it on the tooth to examine its fit and color. The dentist
repeatedly remove and trim the veneer as needed to achieve the proper fit; the
veneer color can be adjusted with the shade of cement to be used.
-
Next, to prepare the tooth to receive the veneer, the tooth will be cleaned,
polished and etched � which roughens the tooth to allow for a strong bonding
process. A special cement is applied to the veneer and the veneer is then
placed on the tooth.
Once properly position on the tooth, the dentist will apply a special light
beam to the dental veneer, which activates chemicals in the cement causing it
to harden or cure rapidly.
-
The final steps involve removing any excess cement, evaluating the bite and
making any final adjustments in the veneer as necessary. The dentist may
require a follow-up visit in a couple of weeks to check that the gums are
responding to the presence of the veneer and to once again examine the veneer's
placement.

| What are the advantages of dental veneers? |
|
Dental Veneers offers the following advantages:
-
They provide a natural tooth appearance. Gum tissue tolerates porcelain well.
-
Porcelain veneers are stain resistant. The color of a porcelain veneer can be
selected such that it makes dark teeth appear whiter.
-
Veneers offer a conservative approach to changing a tooth's color and
shape.Veneers generally don't require the extensive shaping prior to the
procedure that crowns do, yet offer a stronger, more aesthetic alternative to
bonding.
