What happens when veneers are bonded to your teeth?
Veneers are porcelain or composite shells bonded to the front of teeth; preparation may remove enamel.
What steps take place when veneers are fitted?
The dentist examines, shades, prepares if needed, scans or takes impressions, then bonds the final veneer.
Which symptoms after fitting need prompt dental care?
Seek prompt care for worsening pain, swelling, fever, pus, uncontrolled bleeding, or difficulty breathing or swallowing. Persistent symptoms also need examination.
What should you ask about anaesthetic and sensitivity?
Ask about enamel removal, material, anaesthetic, bite, and sensitivity.
