How are porcelain veneers applied?
At Exceptional Dentistry, the application of porcelain veneers requires just two dental visits. During your first visit, Dr. Murray or Dr. Berning will choose your veneer size, shape and color. The surface of each tooth is roughened and very slightly reduced to create space for the veneer and to ensure your veneers will bond securely. Precision impressions of your teeth are taken. The impressions are sent to our dental laboratory, where your veneers will be custom-made. During your second appointment the surfaces of your teeth are thoroughly cleaned, and a composite resin cement is used to bond the veneers. At first they are attached lightly so that you and your cosmetic dentist can examine the fit and test your bite. When you are both pleased with them, they are attached permanently.
