Dental veneers basically transform your slightly crooked, chipped, or stained teeth to aligned, pearl-white, flawless teeth of celebrities. Veneers are applied to the front surface of the teeth concealing any imperfection. If performed by a qualified dentist, teeth veneers can last permanently and look as if they are your own.
Veneers can be made of either porcelain or resin composite. Porcelain veneers are more stain-resistant and natural-looking. They will, however, cost far more than resin composite veneers.
Your initial visit to the dentist involves discussing your expectations with the doctor. He or she is likely to evaluate the overall state of your teeth and jaw. Then, the dentist makes impressions/models of your teeth to be used during the production of the veneers. Creating the actual veneers could take something between a few days to a week. After that, you visit the dentist for the main procedure.
The main procedure involves 4 steps:
- The dentist trims a portion of the tooth structure. Normally, this grinding wouldn't be more than 1 to 2 millimeters and will be replaced by the veneer. In the cases that veneers are used for correcting misalignment, more trimming might be required.
- The surface of your tooth will be cleaned and polished to be ready for veneers placement.
- The dentist tries the veneer on your tooth and makes some alterations as needed. Then, he or she will apply a special cement to the veneer and place it on the front surface of the tooth.
- In the final step, the doctor uses a particular beam of light on the dental veneers. The light activates the cement chemicals and help harden or curve the veneer.
During the procedure, you will probably be put under sedation. Post-op pain and discomfort after dental veneers can be soothed using OTC medications. The procedure is an outpatient one meaning you won't need to stay at the hospital afterward.

Veneers or Crowns?
