FAQs on Veneers 

What are Veneers? 

Dental veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures these days. According to the ADA, around 600,000 Americans get veneers every year. A veneer is a thin piece of porcelain shell.   

The shell is custom-made to your desired shape, shade, and size. This shell will be attached to the front part of your tooth. You can apply it over a tooth or as many teeth as you want. The overall outcome will blow you away. 

How Are My Teeth Prepared for Veneers? 

To stop your teeth from becoming too thick, your cosmetic dentist will shave some parts of your enamel before the veneers are attached. This preparation is necessary to allow the veneers to fit your teeth perfectly. Don’t worry because your cosmetic dentist will apply a local anesthetic so you’ll feel comfortable during the removal process.
