How are veneers made?
Veneers are created from an impression taken in your cosmetic dentist’s office. The custom veneer is then glued directly onto your tooth. However, if this is your first time getting a veneer, you may want to ask your dentist that you initially want to “try in” your veneers with temporary cement instead of a permanent attachment. This way, you can check to see how your veneers will look in natural light in addition to office light. If you are satisfied, then you may try the permanent veneers that your dentist made with the proper adjustments and changes made while you were trying the temporary veneers. What are its advantages? Veneers are less costly than crowns. In addition, since tooth removal is not always required, it is often less invasive. Tooth veneers will not stain either, making the veneers a very popular dental cosmetic procedure for those seeking a great smile without worry of them changing color any time soon (tooth veneers can last up to fifteen years).

A small amount of enamel is removed from the tooth, usually the same thickness as the veneer will be.

Sometimes a natural colour ‘composite’ material is used instead of porcelain. Composite veneers can be completed in one visit and involve bonding tooth-coloured filling material to the front of the tooth. Although these veneers are slightly more prone to staining and have a shorter life, they are easily replaced.

Q: What are veneers used for? A: Veneers can be used to correct the size, shape, color and alignment of teeth.
