How Is a Laminate Veneer (Porcelain Veneer) Applied?
Laminate veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front surface of the teeth to create a more natural and aesthetically pleasing smile while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.
Treatment Process
1. Examination & Planning: Your dentist evaluates your teeth and performs a smile analysis.
2. Tooth Preparation: A very thin layer of enamel is usually removed. In suitable cases, no preparation may be needed.
3. Digital Scan or Impression: A precise impression or digital scan is taken for fabrication.
4. Try-In: The veneers are checked for fit, shape, and color.
5. Final Bonding: The veneers are permanently bonded using special dental adhesive.
