Go to a dentist: Most dentists do porcelain veneers. They will evaluate your teeth to see if veneers are recommend. They will then decided which teeth need them and what they need to do. Most of the time this requires shaving of the teeth but not always. Then they will take a mold and send it to a lab to have the veneers made. When they come back, they will bond them to your teeth.

Dentist : You need to go to a dentist for exam and advise the dentist your interest in having porcelain veneers. You want to specifically advise the dentist what your cosmetic objectives are as there are different techniques, other the porcelain veneers, to enhance your smile.

Cosmetic Dentist: Porcelain veneers are precision made pieces of thin porcelain that are bonded to the fronts of one or more teeth. A small amount of contouring on the front of the teeth is usually necessary to allow the veneers to be placed. An impression is taken of the prepared teeth and sent to a dental lab where the veneers are made. After wearing temporary veneers for a time, the new ones are bonded in place.

See dentist: You need to discuss with your dentist that you would like veneers and have him help determine if your teeth can support veneers. This is an important discussion to have with your dentist.

Dentist: One goes to their Dentist to determine if the best treatment for you would be veneers, bleaching, straightening, crowns, bonding, or a combination of the above. A Dentist has to see you to determine if your problem is best treated Orthodontically (non-surgically) or restoratively (surgically).

Porcelain Veneers: You get porcelain veneers by contacting your dentist and scheduling an assessment. The veneers are thin shells of tooth colored porcelain. For patients who have tooth discoloration, small gaps, broken, chipped, or otherwise misshapen teeth, this procedure is for you! When getting the veneers, about ½ mm of the enamel from the front of your teeth may be removed, then the veneers will be affixed.
