Numb: Expect the dentist to numb the tooth with an injection. Then a small amount of enamel will be removed from the tooth with a drill. An impression is then taken using either a goupy material that takes about 3 minutes to set, or with a digital scanner. The dentist will then likely make you a temporary veneer to wear while the final is made at a lab.

Communication!: Dr. Curalli answered about the procedure itself, but you should also expect good communication about the shape, shade and desired outcome. If you are unclear about anything, ask! your perspective may differ from what the dentist is able to provide. If it is a lab fabricated restoration, it will be about 10 days to 2 weeks for the permanent one. If chairside, it can be completed the same day.

See answer : Your dentist will get you numb, and discuss color, shape, length and quite possibly go over pictures with you to make a final decision. Then she will prepare the tooth by removing a tiny bit of enamel. An impression or digital scan will be taken of the prep, and a provisional veneer will be made out of a plastic like material. It will take 2-3 weeks for the porcelain one to be ready for you!

Call the dentist: Since you already have your dentist chosen the best source is their office. They know best what their patients may experience.

Depends: You didn't say whether this was for an impression visit or for the placement of the veneer. Two totally different procedures.
