   The doctor determines whether the teeth or the surrounding gums are in good condition or not before performing the installation. When there is any defect within the tooth or the surrounding tissues, this must be treated before using the porcelain veneers.
   The patient must be made aware that when pressing too hard on the teeth during or after installation, this may lead to the breaking of the crusts or the occurrence of a clear scratch to them, so it is necessary to pay attention when installing the lenses/veneers.
   During the installation process, the doctor injects locally into the tooth with anesthetic that prevents any pain during the operation, then the doctor removes the front tissue of the tooth with a size and distance exactly equal to the size of the adhesive crusts that the doctor will begin to install. The lab manufactures the lenses according to the desired material within seven days.

   After completing the crust installation session, the patient can return to the daily routine of eating the foods and drinks he wants to eat with some precautions such as not eating solid foods such as nuts because this may lead to the breakage or fall of the entire ceramic crusts, but with that, the doctor Dental alerts the patient to the need to pay attention to oral and dental hygiene with the use of a daily anti-bacterial mouthwash, or a toothbrush, at least once a day to prevent any damage or complications in the long run.
