For instance, the color, fit and type of veneer used is the most important decision you'll make. Choosing a type of veneer, will come down to the difference in materials. Here's a look at some different dental veneer styles:

The Dental Porcelain Veneer Procedure

The first visit to the cosmetic dentist's office will consist of an exam to make sure that dental veneers are the right choice. During this visit, the cosmetic dentist will discuss the advantages and limitations of porcelain veneers. The second office visit is used to prepare the teeth for the dental veneers. This is accomplished by removing ? millimeter of tooth enamel .

If the procedure is uncomfortable, local anesthetic can be used. After the teeth have been prepared, the cosmetic dentist will take an impression of the teeth, which will be used to make the dental veneers. It will take approximately one to two weeks for porcelain veneers to be manufactured. The final office visit is scheduled in order to apply the dental veneers to the teeth. The teeth will be cleaned and the porcelain veneers will be bonded to the teeth with bonding cement . The cement is then hardened with a blue light (a process known as curing).

These types of veneers are very natural looking. With a variety of white colored shades available, a porcelain veneer will make your teeth brilliant and clean.

In general, applying porcelain veneers is a longer procedure, since they require more than one trip to the dentist. The preparation and application procedures are often preformed separately.
