There are several steps which you will need to follow before you can have your porcelain
veneers successfully fitted:
Healthy Teeth & Gums
› The first step is a visit to the dentist to confirm that your teeth and gums are healthy.
You will need enough enamel on your teeth to allow the dentist to scrape a little away.
Initial Appointment
› Your dentist will verify the health of your teeth and gums in your first appointment. If there are any
issues they will be able to assist you treating these first.
Preparation
› The next appointment will see your dentist removing approximately half a millimeter of enamel from
each tooth. This is the depth of the veneer which you will have fitted.
Bonding
› The final stage, once the veneers are ready, is to bond them to your teeth. Your dentist will place
them in position to confirm the fit and then may shave them a little to ensure it is perfect. The
shade of cement used will also be chosen to ensure the veneer matches your other teeth.
