One of the quickest ways to enhance your smile without extensive dental treatment and aside from regular teeth whitening is with dental veneers. Veneers are made of ultra thin porcelain and are bonded to the front of the tooth. They are very durable and resilient so they will last for many years with proper care. Dental veneers are custom made to look and feel just like our natural teeth. They can be very effective for hiding gaps between teeth, repairing a chipped tooth, hiding missing teeth, and also for covering stained teeth and discoloration.
In most cases, the process only requires two appointments with your cosmetic dentist – one to prep the teeth for veneers and place the temporaries, and one to place the final fabricated veneers. It usually only takes between one and two weeks to make your veneers and bonding them to the teeth only requires one appointment.
