Our Composite Veneer Process:

1. Consultation: During your initial visit, our experienced dental professionals will assess your oral health and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine if composite veneers are the right option for you.

2.Tooth Preparation: A minimal amount of enamel may be gently removed to ensure a proper fit and natural appearance of the veneers.

3.Application: The composite resin is carefully applied and sculpted to the desired shape and size, then hardened using a special curing light.

4.Finishing Touches: After the resin has set, the veneers are polished to achieve a smooth, natural-looking finish that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
