To prepare the teeth for cosmetic veneers, Dr. Kaviani will gently remove a very thin layer of enamel from the tooth surface, which is an amount nearly equal to the thickness of the veneer to be added to the tooth surface. In some individual cases tooth reduction may not be required at all or will be bare minimum. Next, she will make a model or impression of your tooth. It usually takes a week or two to fabricate the tooth veneers. During this period, temporary veneers will be placed.

Before the final cosmetic ceramic veneers are permanently bonded to your tooth, Dr. Kaviani will temporarily place them on your teeth to examine their fit and color, at this point the color of the cosmetic veneers can be adjusted with the shade of cement to be used.

Choosing ceramic Veneers: Considerations
Teeth must be healthy and free of decay and active periodontal disease. cosmetic ceramic veneers typically require less removal of tooth enamel than do crowns. However, the process is not reversible once the enamel is removed.
Patients who clench or grind their teeth are not good candidates for veneers because the thin ceramic veneers may chip or break. Avoid biting your fingernails and chewing on hard objects such as pencils or ice. Like any dental restoration, cosmetic ceramic veneers can be dislodged over time and with wear. In that case, new ones might be needed. As with all your dental care, we will discuss your expectations and treatment options thoroughly.
No special maintenance is needed other than good oral hygiene. Brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste and clean between your teeth once a day with floss or another interdental cleaner. Regular dental visits are a must for maintaining healthy teeth
