The dentist builds up the composite material in thin layers directly on the tooth surface, hardening each layer with UV light. Afterwards the veneer is shaped and polished for a natural finish.

Care for them just like natural teeth: brush twice a day with a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and schedule regular professional check-ups and cleanings. Avoid biting very hard objects and limit staining foods or drinks (coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco) to keep the veneers looking their best.
