Dental veneer

A dental veneer is an ultra-thin shell of tooth proclaim or composite that is cemented to the tooth to improve smile appearance or correct dental issues such as tooth enamel and uneven tooth spacing or alignment. There are different types of veneer: The first type is direct composite veneer which is attached to the tooth and the second type is indirect composite or proclaim. Veneers are professionally made in a lab and are used to cement to the tooth. In order to prevent widening of the tooth diameter, the tooth is carved and made thinner. This is a permanent irretrievable process.

Duration of Treatment

Since dental veneer is an easy light procedure, there is no need for particular healing period.
