What Is Involved With Getting Dental Veneers?

 

This is a common question that is often asked in relation to this unique type of dental procedure. The good news is that dental veneers, which are simply bonded to existing teeth, only require three trips to your dental care provider to complete. In most cases this involves one visit that is a consultation and two other visits that actually involve the application of the veneers. Whether it is one tooth or multiple teeth that require attention, patients can typically undergo simultaneous treatment for any number of teeth.

 

Make Sure That Dental Veneers are Best For You

 

The actual diagnosis and treatment phase of getting dental veneers is where you can actually tell your dentist what you are trying to achieve with regard to having this kind of treatment. During the actual appointment, your dental care provider will examine your teeth to make sure that dental veneers are best for you. He or she will also talk about what the procedure will involve. X-rays may be taken and impressions of your mouth may be required. The next phase of getting dental veneers involves the actual preparation for the procedure.

 

The Actual Bonding Process

 

The Actual Bonding Process

 

This is comprised of the dentist preparing your tooth for the actual veneer. He or she will remove approximately 1/2 mm of enamel from the tooth surface. Local anesthesia may be provided as necessary. Your dentist may also make an impression of your tooth so it can be sent to the dental laboratory. At this point, the veneer can be constructed. This can take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks. Finally, the last phase involves the actual bonding process. This is where your dentist will permanently cement the veneer to your tooth. Color, size and fit will be matched carefully and perfectly to ensure the best possible outcome.
