Many people have issues with their smile, including chipped or discolored teeth. These problems can lower a person’s self-esteem, and it can also impact their career or social life. Dental veneers can resolve these issues and restore a patient’s confidence and happiness.

The first step in this process is for the dentist to clean and examine the teeth. They will then take impressions of the teeth, and the shade information will be sent to a lab to create custom veneers for the patient. Depending on the case, the dentist may place temporary veneers for the patient to wear until the permanent ones are ready.

Once the permanent veneers are ready, the dentist will remove the temporary ones and then apply them to the patient’s teeth. The dentist will use dental cement to ensure the veneers are firmly attached and then they will be cured with ultraviolet light to harden the bonding.

Typically, the entire dental veneers surgery takes around three weeks and requires three separate visits to the dentist’s office. Some insurance companies cover the procedure, and patients can use health savings or flexible spending accounts to pay for it.
