Moncks corner cosmetic dentist, and more
The problem area of your tooth is first scaped away down to anticipated veneer depth (with the help of local anesthesia if you prefer), then an impression is taken and sent to a dental lab for preparation of your dental veneer. Preparation may take a few weeks if color adjustments are needed. At your next visit, your dentist will compare the veneer against your other teeth for correct placement, then prepare your tooth surface for actual application of the veneer. The application process utilizes acid etching to roughen the tooth surface for veneer placement. The veneer is then applied to the tooth with the help of a composite material that is bonded and hardened with a special light.
