How is Dental Veneer Done and What are the Treatment Stages?
Anesthesia is applied to the patient in order not to feel pain during the zirconium veneer treatment. The teeth to be processed are reduced to an appropriate amount and measured. Instead of the teeth that are reduced by rasping -at the same time- temporary teeth are attached. Tooth color selection is made with the patient. Teeth that are measured in an average of 5 days are prepared and temporary teeth are removed and replaced. Periodic doctor checks are recommended and the patient's treatment is completed.
