Do Veneers Require Surgery?

Veneers do not require surgery for placement. Instead, veneer attachment takes place outside of the gums from start to finish. Here is more about veneers placement and how the procedure works.

Invasiveness of Veneers Placement

Placement of veneers is mildly invasive because it necessitates removal of some tooth enamel. Fortunately, this process is very tolerable because local anesthesia is used. By removing some of the enamel, our dentist makes room for the thickness of the veneers that will be bonded there.

How Veneers Placement Works

Veneers placement begins with enamel removal and the taking of bite impressions from patients. With these impressions, the custom-crafted veneers can be made at a lab. Once finished, the veneers are sent to our office and patients return to have their veneers placed. Our dentist positions the veneers carefully before applying dental adhesive and curing it to attach the veneers permanently.

Each porcelain veneer is placed individually to ensure natural-looking and appealing results. After just two visits, veneers recipients gain long-term aesthetic enhancement of their smiles and virtual immunity from a variety of stains. Patients can schedule a consultation with our dentist to learn more about veneers and the simple, non-invasive procedure used to place them.
