How Do Direct and Indirect Dental Veneers Differ?
There are two types of veneers: direct and indirect. Direct veneers are done in a single visit and with a composite or plastic material. Indirect veneers are usually done in two visits and require a dental laboratory to fabricate the final restoration. The indirect veneer can be either a composite material or more commonly, a porcelain material. Due to the advancements in the porcelain substrates and the bonding materials used to place them, they are often used in place of crowns for a more conservative and natural looking smile.
