Patients may need work specifically on the front-facing exterior of a tooth. Their reason for doing so may be for the purpose of helping with some damage, or to address significant stains or issues they have with the appearance of the tooth. No matter the reason, you should be sure your oral health comes before any aesthetic concerns.
A dental veneer typically involves the exterior of the tooth to be reduced to accommodate the upcoming dental fixture. The reason for this may change depending on your individual circumstance. In the instance that your tooth has an uneven surface, it may need to be reduced to ensure that the veneer has a more stable surface to attach to. However, the surface may need to be roughened to give the adhesive a greater surface area to stick to.
While your dental veneer is being created by an external lab, a temporary veneer will be placed. This will not have the same structural integrity as the upcoming fixture, so you will likely want to take additional care when doing actions such as eating.
