Full veneers will cover the entire tooth, while partial veneers only cover partial areas like discolored or damaged areas of the tooth. Other factors that we take into consideration before recommending full tooth veneers include the age of our patient, alignment of the teeth, the patient’s oral hygiene, and obscuring tissue health.   Whether the patient goes with full or partial dental veneers, the number of veneers per patient will determine the length of the appointment, as well as the cost. Before a dental veneer is placed, our specialist will need to remove a small portion of the enamel from the tooth on the front and sides. Then an impression of the teeth will be created to be sent off to a dental lab to ensure the veneers are custom created to the individuals’ teeth.   During the wait, temporary veneers will be provided. At the next appointment, the custom-created dental veneers will be bonded to the patient’s teeth. The placement of the dental veneers may need to be reshaped and prepared to ensure a proper fit onto the teeth. The dental veneer material will then be bonded to the tooth and sculpted using the matching ideal color, so it matches the natural teeth. After the tooth is hardened and bonded, the veneers will then be polished and smoothed away after.
