Traditional porcelain dental veneers are thin porcelain shells that are adhered to the teeth to correct cosmetic problems such as crooked, discolored, or misaligned teeth. They require the outer layer of your natural tooth enamel to be removed, which is irreversible. This can increase tooth sensitivity in some patients, causing them to think that they aren’t good candidates for dental veneers.
However, our minimal prep veneers are a no-prep treatment that can correct the same cosmetic concerns as regular porcelain veneers. They are thinner and made of a laminate material, rather than porcelain, and because of their thinness, they do not require enamel to be removed to fit in your mouth. Dr. Sousa will still design your custom-shaped veneers, but he will not need to file down precious tooth enamel to give you the smile you’re looking for.
Dental veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry treatment because they can correct multiple minor problems with relative ease. Some of the benefits of dental veneers include:
No-prep veneers offer the same benefits as traditional porcelain veneers. If you have been considering veneers to improve your smile and have good oral health, you may be a good candidate for minimal prep veneers.
