Porcelain Laminate Veneers

> General information 

Porcelain laminate veneers or dental veneers are tooth shells that cover the visible portion of the teeth. Veneers are used to correct intrinsic discoloration, tiny teeth, fluorosis, and teeth with other enamel issues, such as gaps between teeth, chipped teeth, and other aesthetic concerns. Veneers are made from a range of materials, the best and most aesthetically beautiful of which is porcelain.

> Procedure 

We will first take a thorough medical and dental history followed by clinical and radio graphical examinations. Following a discussion with the patient, a comprehensive treatment and care plan will be developed. The veneering procedure will commence if no further urgent procedures are required. Mock-ups, measurements, and photographs will be recorded first, followed by enamel trimming as planned. The clinicians will be able to install the veneer shells on the teeth after trimming the enamel layer. Measurements are recorded again, and the veneer is prepared in the laboratory. Veneers that were previously designed and made in the laboratory are now ready to be glued to the teeth and fixed in place.

The entire procedure will take 2 to 3 weeks to conclude. The number of appointments may vary, but a maximum of three to four appointments are required.
