Discolored, misaligned, crooked, chipped, or widely spaced teeth are the most common dental problems that many people in the country are struggling with. Thanks to advances in dentistry technology, as such problems can now be corrected through porcelain veneers. This dental procedure is not complicated, and the end result is always admirable. Dental veneers come in different types and brands; your cosmetic dentist will help you in choosing the best dental veneers in Salem, OR.
Procedure involved
The dentist will first remove about 0.5 millimeters of the enamel, then measure the remaining part so that he can know the size of the veneer to be made. He will then send these measurements to the lab and give you another appointment, probably 2-3 weeks-the duration that veneers normally take to be fabricated. On the appointed day, the dentist will first test if the veneers are your size by placing on your teeth. If not, he shapes them to properly fit your teeth. He then cleans the teeth, applies special cement on the affected tooth and installs the veneers. The dentist will then use a beam of light to make the chemicals in the cement react and bond well to the tooth.
