Once approve by the patient and the dentist, he will begin to prepare your tooth to receive the veneer, your tooth will be cleaned, polished and scraped. Afterwards a special cement is applied to the veneer and the veneer. Once the veneer is properly position on the tooth, the dentist will apply a special light beam to the dental veneer, which activates chemicals in the cement, causing it to harden at a faster rate.
