A Comprehensive Guide of Getting Dental Veneers

If you are tired of feeling self-conscious about your smile, then dental veneers may be the solution you are looking for. Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that a dentist places over the front surface of your teeth. The complete guide to getting dental veneers covers: Consultation and planning — the dentist evaluates your oral health and discusses your goals. Tooth preparation — a thin layer of enamel is removed to create space for the veneers and impressions are taken for the dental lab. Temporary veneers may be placed. Fabrication — the dental lab creates your custom veneers, which typically takes 1-2 weeks. Placement — the permanent veneers are fitted, adjusted, and bonded to your teeth. With proper care, veneers can last 10-20 years.
