What is a dental veneer?
A dental veneer fits over the front of the tooth to provide a new appearance. The veneer is made from porcelain, which closely mimics the natural teeth’s light-reflecting qualities, color, and general look. Your dentist will help match your new veneer to your existing natural teeth to ensure that they blend in with your smile subtly and naturally. Your dentist will prepare the tooth before placing veneers. This process includes removing a very thin layer of enamel from the front of the tooth.
How is a dental veneer made?
A dental laboratory designs, creates, and finishes a dental veneer especially for your tooth. The laboratory creates each veneer separately, requiring enough time to do so. The process usually takes about two weeks, though can be longer or shorter depending on certain circumstances. Your dentist will prepare the teeth and take an impression of your mouth at one appointment, allow time for the laboratory to create the veneers, then schedule a second appointment to place the final restorations. In between the two appointments, your dentist may place temporary veneers to protect your prepared teeth from damage.
