First Discharge
The patient is discharged by inserting temporary veneers.
Second Visit
Within 4 to 5 days, the patient is called for permanent veneers. At this stage, the patient’s temporary veneers are removed, and the last measurements are made again. These measurements are sent to the laboratory to produce permanent veneers using CAD-CAM technology.
Wearing Permanent Veneers
