I’ve used a few different materials and techniques when cementing porcelain veneers. To be frank, I’ve often found it to be frustrating. Why? Because I don’t use the special veneer cements all that often and there’s a ton of steps. Mix this with that, then mix some more stuff together and say a prayer...No thanks.
Fortunately I’ve found a product that makes cementing veneers easy. Variolink Veneer from Ivoclar Vivadent is a total-etch resin cement. We need all the bond we can get when inserting porcelain veneers, so total-etch is the way to go.
