During the veneering process, local anesthesia is used to ensure that the patient is comfortable and pain-free. The duration of the treatment can vary depending on the number and condition of the teeth that need to be veneered. Typically, the veneering process can be completed in three sessions, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

The first step in the laminated tooth treatment process involves discussing the patient’s expectations and creating a model. The patient is informed about the potential outcomes of the treatment and any necessary examinations and follow-up appointments are scheduled. During the second session, the patient receives local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. Then, while the mouth is numb, the teeth that require coating are carefully filed.

Once the teeth have been filed, measurements are taken for the veneers and an impression is made. The teeth are then left to settle for up to one week, during which time they may be sensitive. Once the teeth and molds are ready, a rehearsal is performed to check the color and compatibility of the veneers. The patient and the doctor then approve the appearance before the bonding process begins, which takes approximately two hours. Once the bonding is complete, the treatment is finished.

Bruxism treatment can vary depending on the underlying cause of the problem. Psychological, pharmacological, and orthodontic treatments can be used to treat teeth grinding. Psychological treatment may involve therapy or hypnosis to help patients relax if the cause of the problem is psychological. Pharmacologic treatment may involve the use of muscle relaxants and analgesics to alleviate pain and prevent the central nervous system from sending commands to the muscles that cause teeth grinding. Orthodontic treatment may involve manual and visual examinations, radiological imaging techniques, and surgical interventions to alleviate teeth grinding caused by structural disorders, jaw problems, or deformities.
