Getting porcelain veneers is pain-free and doesn’t even require many visits. Let’s find out more about the procedure:
1. Tooth Preparation
The first step involves preparing the tooth that will receive the porcelain veneer. A good dentist will always prep the area of the tooth that shows signs of decay (if any) first before other areas.
The reason your dentist preps the tooth is to adjust the layer of the enamel so that it can be placed correctly.Tooth preparation also involves removing any old fillings. Several expert dentists have stated that in order to make a bond between the porcelain and the filling, the filling shouldn’t be more than two weeks old. This means its better to get a new filling before the procedure.
While the amount of prep varies from case to case, normal prep is about .5 to .7 millimeters.
2. Is Sedative Required?
Not in every case. A sedative may be required if the porcelain veneers will need to extend below the gum line. This is because the gum line is a sensitive area and you might experience some discomfort or pain during the procedure.
If you have a dental phobia or do not like being in the dentist’s chair, you can request to be sedated during your procedure.
3. Selecting Shade
Your dentist will choose the color of the porcelain shade based on the color of the rest of your teeth, mainly the surrounding teeth.
Your dentist will also determine which part of the tooth surface needs to be more translucent so that the new tooth looks just like your real tooth.
4. Impression
When the dentist has prepped your teeth and cleaned the surrounding area, an impression of your tooth (or teeth) along with the gums and neighboring teeth will be taken.

prepping the tooth for final placement
Once the final check is done. The surface of both the veneer and your original tooth will be polished and prepped before bonding.
An acid gel is then etched onto the surface of the tooth for 20 seconds or less. This process is called etching and it creates a surface that allows the veneer to bond to the original tooth. The gel is then washed off and a bonding agent is placed on the veneer to tighten the bond.
Then cement is used to bond the veneer to the tooth and a blue light is then passed on to the porcelain veneer for about a minute to finalize the bonding.
This is how a porcelain veneer is placed on a tooth. Once done, the dentist will then clean and floss the teeth to give it some final touches.
