What is the process for getting veneers?

The process for getting veneers typically involves two to three dental visits. During the first visit, your dentist will evaluate your teeth, discuss your cosmetic goals, and determine if veneers are the right option for you. If you proceed with veneers, your dentist will prepare the teeth by removing a small amount of enamel from the front surface to ensure a proper fit. Impressions of your teeth will be taken and sent to a dental lab where your custom veneers will be created. At the next visit, the veneers will be bonded to your teeth using a special adhesive, and any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure a perfect fit. The process of getting veneers is generally not painful. Most patients do not require anesthesia, but it can be used if you have sensitive teeth or if a significant amount of enamel needs to be removed. You may experience some mild sensitivity after the enamel is removed and the veneers are placed, but this usually subsides within a few days. Once the veneers are in place, they should feel comfortable and natural. If you experience any discomfort or issues with your veneers, it is important to contact your dentist to address any concerns and ensure that the veneers are properly adjusted.
