Dental veneers are customised shells made of composite or porcelain resin that fit over the teeth and improve their overall appearance. If you have chipped, stained, uneven, misaligned or worn teeth, then cosmetic dental solution can correct these problems.
Resin-based dental veneers are usually accomplished in one appointment. At the first visit, the cosmetic dentist will take X-rays of your teeth and. After this, she/he will trim the enamel ready for the application of the veneers. She/he will create an impression of your teeth and then send it to the laboratory and the veneers will be prepared in one to two weeks.
Once the veneer is ready, our dentist will check its colour and fit and prepare your teeth accordingly. She/he will clean your teeth and then roughen the surface to improve the adhesion of the veneers. The veneers will then be attached to the tooth by means of special cement and ultra violet light that is used to make them hard.
