1️⃣ Examination & Planning
- The dentist evaluates the patient’s oral and dental structure.
- Panoramic X-rays and 3D digital scanning may be performed.
- Suitable teeth for veneers are selected.
- The shade and shape of the veneers are chosen.
2️⃣ Tooth Preparation
- 0.3 mm – 0.7 mm of the enamel surface is minimally shaved.
- If E-max veneers are used, less enamel is removed.
- Gingivoplasty (gum reshaping) is performed if necessary.
3️⃣ Digital Impressions
- CAD/CAM technology is used to take a digital impression.
- A 3D model is created for custom design.
- The impression is sent to the dental laboratory.
4️⃣ Temporary Veneers
- While waiting for the final veneers, temporary veneers are placed.
- Patients can test the design before the final fitting.
5️⃣ Permanent Veneers Placement
- Zirconium or E-max veneers are bonded using a special dental adhesive.
- UV light curing is used for long-lasting fixation.
- Final adjustments are made for perfect fit, bite alignment, and aesthetics.
6️⃣ Final Check-up & Maintenance
