How is an indirect veneer prepared?

It is applied directly to the tooth
It is created in a lab and glued to the tooth later
It is made from a soft material and placed temporarily
It is carved directly from the tooth itself

The correct answer is: It is created in a lab and glued to the tooth later

An indirect veneer is prepared by first creating a custom restoration in a dental laboratory, which is then glued or bonded to the tooth at a later appointment. This process typically involves taking an impression of the prepared tooth and sometimes surrounding teeth, which allows for a precise fit. The laboratory fabricates the veneer using materials such as porcelain or composite resin, designed to match the patient's natural tooth color and texture. This method contrasts with direct veneers, which are applied immediately to the tooth and sculpted on-site using a softer material. Indirect veneers offer enhanced durability and aesthetics since they can be made with high-quality materials under controlled conditions in the lab, ensuring a precise and long-lasting fit when they are subsequently bonded to the tooth.
