A dental veneer is a layer that dentists apply on your tooth’s visible part to enhance your smile. It corrects certain defects such as discoloration, decay, and other conditions that cause a bad tooth. If you would like veneers in South Bay, the professionals apply partial or full veneers to your tooth to cover visible defects.
What to expect during a dental veneer procedure.
Professionals prefer creating a custom-made veneer in the lab using a porcelain material than applying them directly to the tooth. It reduces the appointment time at your dentist.
Dental veneer treatment is a less complicated process that requires at least three appointments with your dentist. The first visit involves consultation with the doctor and two more appointments.
On the appointment day, local anesthesia is applied on the veneer site. However, the application will depend on several factors like tooth sensitivity. A doctor may conduct an X-ray to create an impression of the tooth and mouth.
The doctor removes the tooth enamel, and this creates a space for veneer application.
Your specialist decides on the veneer shade and the shape of the tooth. Then Dr. Dana Samet sends an image to the lab for preparing the veneer. Meanwhile, a temporary one is applied and you will be allowed to go home.
On your next appointment, the doctor will remove the temporary veneer and clean the tooth. Other processes follow which include etching and applying an adhesion. The specialist applies the permanent veneer in a process that takes less than ten minutes. Finally, margins are aligned using dental tools. After the procedure, you can now go home.
