There are a few steps through which our experienced dentist can provide you with the best dental veneer treatment.

Step 1: The dental team will firstly remove a small amount of the tooth surface from the visible part of the tooth for placement of the veneer.

Stage 2: After the complete preparation of the tooth an impression is taken for the fabrication of the dental veneer. The dental impression is sent out to a dental laboratory, which takes a few days to construct your veneer

Stage 3: At the final dental appointment, the veneer fabricated in the lab is bonded to the prepared tooth surface with adhesive after carefully adjusting them for the perfect fit.

Once your veneers are bonded, no one will be able to tell you them. They’ll blend in perfectly with your other teeth and give you a great smile. Veneers last for a very long time, and you won’t have to do any special maintenance beyond your regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings.
