Porcelain veneers take two dental visits. At your first visit, Dr. Parsa will sit down with you and go through the process. She will then give you some ‘freezing’ (local anesthetic) and ensure you’re comfortable. Next, she will remove a thin layer of the enamel from your teeth to make room for the veneer and take an impression (mold) of your teeth. This mold is sent to a professional dental lab where they create a custom-made veneer. Dr. Parsa will make you a temporary veneer until your next visit. At the second visit one week later, Dr. Parsa will remove the temporary veneer and the porcelain veneer is glued to your tooth using composite resin cement.
