Dental Veneers

How Are Porcelain Dental Veneers Made and Adjusted?

Porcelain dental veneers are custom-made according to your teeth's shape and size. Your dental expert will perform a quick dental screening and get dental impressions of your teeth. These dental images and measurements are used to create custom porcelain veneers. The process takes a few weeks or days after which you'll be called in for a second visit.

On your second visit, the dentist will match your veneer's color, shape, and fit. Before installing them, your dentist will roughen your teeth's surface to enhance friction. Doing so also helps in making sure that your dental veneer doesn't move or slide when you chew food or brush your teeth. Generally, patients can eat or drink right after a dental veneer placement as long as their anesthesia has worn off.
