Visit number one:
Step #1: Your dentist will prepare your teeth. Preparation consists of making shallow cuts on the front of each tooth to ensure a strong and permanent bond, and to accommodate the thickness of the veneer.
Step #2: Once the teeth are prepared, impressions are made using a special dental impression material such as polysiloxane or polyether.
Step #3: Before shade selection, any stains on the patient’s teeth are removed using pumice and water.
Step #4: Temporary veneers may or may not be placed, depending on the situation.
Step #5: The impressions are sent to a dental lab for fabrication.
Visit number two:
