These are placed on your teeth that received a slight wear on their surface to make room for them.
If you are concerned about changing the appearance of your teeth, we will start with a scan or digitization of your teeth, so that through the computer we can make a smile design and show you how your teeth will look.
Veneers or Veneers can be made of porcelain or zirconia, both quality materials that will give the appearance of natural teeth.
Once you make the decision, a minimum wear of your teeth will be done, and they will be scanned or digitized again to send it to the laboratory through the Internet and be manufactured through a digital milling machine. In a second appointment, these will be cemented. In between the treatment, temporary ones will be placed to protect your teeth, these being highly aesthetic.
It is important to mention that we can also have them for the same day, ask us about it.
