The Porcelain
Veneer Procedure
The first visit to the our office will consist of an throughly examination
to make sure that porcelain veneers are the right choice. During this visit,
our cosmetic dentist will discuss the advantages and limitations of porcelain
veneers.
The second office visit is used
to prepare the teeth for the porcelain veneers. This
is accomplished by removing _ millimeter of tooth enamel.
If the procedure is uncomfortable, local anesthetic can
be used. After the teeth have been prepared, the cosmetic
dentist will take an impression of the teeth, which will
be used to make the veneers.
The final office visit is scheduled
in order to apply the porcelain veneers to the teeth.
The teeth will be cleaned and the veneers will be bonded
to the teeth with bonding cement. The cement is then
hardened with a blue light ( a process known as curing
). |
