The procedure of composite veneers:
Your dentist will begin the procedure by properly cleaning and prepping your teeth for the application. To make the substance adhere to your teeth, he may remove a very small amount of enamel, then, he will etch the enamel of your teeth before placing composite veneers to aid in adherence. The composite resin material will then be attached to your teeth using adhesive glue, which will be applied next. Finally, the surface of your teeth is covered with thin layers of composite material which will be quickly hardened by using a specific type of light.
Frequently asked questions:
1. Is there special care for them?
You can extend the life of your composite veneers by taking good care of them. Embrace a routine of regular brushing, and avoid using your front teeth to chew on ice or other hard items. Some dentists advise you to avoid consuming beverages like coffee or tea that could stain your brand-new composite veneers.
2. Can composite veneers be removed?
Veneers made of composite material can be readily removed, mended, or replaced by using fresh composite material.
