How Porcelain Veneers Are Placed
Porcelain veneers are placed in two to three visits. If you are getting LUMINEERS, the process typically takes two visits and minimal preparation of the tooth is required. On your first visit the dentist will take impressions of the tooth and then remove some of the tooth structure to prepare the teeth for veneers. You will receive a set of temporary veneers while the permanent veneers are prepared in a lab. About two weeks later you will return for your second visit to bond the permanent veneers. The dentist will finish by checking and adjusting your bite so that the veneers are comfortable and effective. When complete veneers are like having a new, remarkably perfect smile.
