Veneer is actually a thin piece of porcelain, used to recreate the natural appearance of teeth. It provides more strength and resilience as compared to natural teeth enamel. They can be customised according the contour of your teeth and are usually used to close small gaps or correct misalignment. The process of applying veneers takes one to three appointments, depending upon if the veneers are prefabricated or need to prepare in lab according to the case.
First, the dentist estimates the correct shade of veneers according to your teeth and a small amount of enamel is removed to fill it with temporary veneer and sample is sent to the lab to prepare the original veneer. Before etching the veneer, the tooth is completely cleaned with pumice and water. Then the light-cured veneer is etched, rinsed thoroughly with water and dried and that’s it.
