How Are Porcelain Veneers Applied?

Porcelain veneers are the perfect way for patients to transform and perfect their smile. They can be used in a few different ways. You may choose to apply only a few to cover specific teeth, all of the visible teeth, or as part of a smile makeover. Here is a look at how they are applied.

Each veneer is custom made for the specific patient. Our dentist will work with you to create the smile you both want and need. One important factor to consider is that a thin layer of enamel must be removed in order to place veneers. This is so they fit correctly, and do not make the teeth look too big. Once enough enamel has been removed, the veneers are placed using a dental bonding material.

Our dentist recommends porcelain for dental veneers, as well as most other restorations. This is because it offers several benefits. Porcelain is strong and durable, allowing the teeth to sustain bite and chewing strength. Furthermore, this material is stain resistant, meaning that patients can worry less about their favorite foods and drinks leaving their mark. It also looks very similar to our natural dental enamel. Overall, the process of getting dental veneers is simple and effective.
