The Procedure of Veneers.

There are two major types of Veneers are Porcelain Veneers and Resin-based composite veneers. The procedure of the treatment varies for both types.

Porcelain Veneers: The dentist performs a complete dental checkup for the patient before the treatment is initiated as we take our time getting to know you. This includes X-rays and other digital imaging tests to understand the requirement of the patient better. A small portion of the enamel of the teeth is scraped off, which is necessary for fixing the veneer to the teeth. 

The tooth mold is created using the impressions of the teeth. The mold is sent to the laboratory for fabrication, during which the patient is provided a temporary veneer for use. The customized veneer is fixed on the teeth, providing a better appearance to the patient. It is a cost-effective treatment that provides good durability.

Resin-based Composite Veneers: The patient is made to go through a dental checkup, which helps the dentist know the necessity of veneer for the patient. The teeth are cleaned before the procedure. 

The composite resin is applied to the teeth and reshaped to fit the shape of the natural teeth. It is dried and fixed onto the teeth using a light appliance. The dentist polish the resin to provide it the color and the radiance of the existing tooth. It is a cost-effective procedure that can be done in a single day.
