Dental Restoration Guide

By Aileen Banting

This time around, only the visible part of a tooth is repaired, by using the veener procedure. Veener is a thin facing of a porcelain or plastic material which serves to reinstate the perceptible part of the tooth. It is used to repair a damaged tooth and at the same time whiten the teeth lastingly and make the mouth more pleasing to the eye. Subsequent to preparing the tooth, an impression will be created then it will be sent to a dental technician who then will make the veener. The porcelain veener will be cemented into place. Special cement that will bond it to the affected tooth will be used. This is a well known and conventional way for improving the façade of the teeth.
