1. A system for installing a dental veneer over a tooth, comprising:
a tip including a first side of a predetermined shape and bounded by a perimeter, the first side including a first portion of a first abrasive material within an inner area of the first side and a second portion of a second abrasive material, along at least a portion of the perimeter, the first abrasive material being an abrasive material different than the second abrasive material, the first portion of the first abrasive material and the second portion of the second abrasive material forming a working surface of the first side of a predetermined topography, the working surface of the first side configured: 1) to cover a surface of the tooth, and 2) to operate on the surface of the tooth, when the working surface of the first side covers the surface of the tooth and the working surface of the first side is in oscillating contact with the tooth at ultrasonic speeds, without substantially moving the tip, to prepare the surface of the tooth with a topography corresponding to the predetermined topography of the working surface of the first side of the tip, in order for a veneer comprising an inner surface of a topography: 1) matching the predetermined topography of the working surface of the first side of the tip, and 2) corresponding to the topography of the prepared surface of the tooth, to fit over the prepared surface of the tooth in an engagement of the inner surface of the veneer with the prepared surface of the tooth; and,
a portion in communication with the tip for communicating with an oscillator.
