Good News about Same Day Veneers
Increasingly, many dental clinics (particularly those specialising in cosmetic dentistry) have CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture) technology. This means that instead of your dentist having to make impressions, send them to a lab and wait for the technician to make your veneer, the entire process can be carried out onsite, while you wait. The 3D scans are uploaded onto a computer and your dentist can design your veneers while you are in the chair, with adjustments made onscreen so you can get an immediate and accurate picture of what they will look like. Once you are satisfied, the touch of a button sends the images to an onsite laboratory, where a milling machine will fabricate the veneers and the dentist can fit them same day. Voila!
