Dental veneers typically involve three steps. Step 1: Consult with your dentist. The consultation may involve x-rays or impressions to determine the appropriate sizes and colors. Step 2: Your dentist prepares your teeth for the veneers by removing a small amount of enamel from the teeth to accommodate the veneers. They will take impressions of your altered teeth to send to the dental lab to make your custom dental veneers. Step 3: Bonding the veneers to your teeth involves a light-sensitive resin and special light to create a chemical reaction. It’s an immediate smile upgrade!
