Dental veneers

• Dental veneers are a cosmetic dentistry procedure
  where a thin layer of tooth-coloured
  biocompatible restoration material such as
  porcelain or composite resin is bonded to the
  tooth surface to improve its aesthetic
  appearance.
• Veneers can be used in cases of discoloured
  teeth, chipped teeth, gaps between the teeth
  (diastema), minor malformations or misalignment
  of teeth.
• Veneers are case selective and your dentist will
  decide if you are a good candidate to undergo
  this short procedure.

Procedure

• Your dentist will first explain the procedure and
  understand your expectations
• Some dentists will have a 3D representation of
  the possible final result. Therefore, you will
  have an idea before starting the treatment.
• Scaling (cleaning) will be done and any decayed
  teeth will be filled.
• The teeth that will have a veneer will be
  identified and minimal, conservative tooth
  preparation will be carried out. By doing this,
  the dentist will remove a wafer-thin layer of the
  enamel surface of the tooth. This is to create a
  space for the veneer, to give it a natural finish
  and ensure that the veneer is bonded well to the
  tooth surface.

Procedure

• Measurements and impressions of the teeth might
  be taken up to two or three times during the
  procedure.
• The shade of the veneers will be chosen after
  careful color matching with your natural teeth.
• Temporary veneers might be given in some cases.
• It usually takes any time between a couple of
  days to a week or two for the dental lab to
  fabricate your veneers.
• The final sitting will involve the dentist
  bonding these veneers received from the lab on to
  your tooth surface using dental cement.
