How Do Dental Veneers Work?

How Do Dental Veneers Work?

• Your dentist attaches an extremely thin piece of
  ceramic to the front of your tooth with a special
  cement to improve your overall aesthetics. Before
  doing that, he or she needs to take an impression
  of your tooth with dental putty as well as an
  X-ray.

3

• After allowing the impression to harden, your
  dentist sends it to a nearby dental laboratory.
  The technicians use this information to create
  your fully customized dental veneers.

4

• When the laboratory returns your veneers,
  someone from our office contacts you to come in
  for a final fitting. Your dentist may need to
  remove a fraction of a millimeter of tooth enamel
  to ensure a proper fit with your new veneer.

• After applying the dental cement and the veneer,
  he or she shines a curing light on the tooth so
  the veneer hardens in place. Dental veneers last
  for several years as long as you follow a good
  oral hygiene routine and dont subject them to
  unnecessary stress.
