Having treatment of porcelain veneer for teeth is the best option if you have stained, cracked or discolored teeth. Dental veneers are small shells of porcelain or composite paste, which are tailor made to fix over the teeth and provides a natural and stunning smile and enhances the overall look. Veneers are used to restore if you have misaligned, worn down, uneven placed, chipped or stained teeth. But, this is a permanent treatment. So, it is a big decision to get the treatment.

What is porcelain veneer?
This is the mainly used material for veneers. Especially used for correcting problems of shape and color. This material lasts up to 10 to 20 years. Generally, it costs from $800 to $2000per tooth based on your locality where you live. So, it is important to get the right treatment from the right clinic.
Process of treatment
The regular process takes one to two appointments.
- Local anesthesia is not generally required when placing veneers. Still, this depends on the patient’s sensitivity, it can be used if required. The dentist will clean the tooth and regulate the correct shade for the veneer. The dentist will eliminate a very small amount of enamel of the tooth to provide room to fix the veneer on the tooth.
- The imprint of the tooth will be made in the laboratory and a temporary veneer will be fixed to the tooth
- When the laboratory provides the porcelain veneer, the temporary veneer is detached and the tooth is cleaned with pumice and water. The veneer is then attached, rinsed completely with water and air dried. The resin is fixed on the preparation and then the cement and the veneer are placed for the perfect fit and shape.
- The veneer is then slightly curved for a minute on all surfaces of it to attach it to the tooth structure.
- Lastly, the dentist will remove all the additional material and polish the margins of the veneer.
Many dentists arrange follow-up visits to check if there would be any issue. A comfortable veneer will provide a long-lasting benefit.
