Do Veneers Mess Up Your Teeth?

If veneers have caused damage to the shape and size of your teeth, then they are in fact crowns and not veneers. Veneers only remove a small portion of enamel.

Can Veneers Damage Teeth & Gums?

Once upon a time, porcelain had to be of a certain thickness otherwise, there would be an increased risk of breakage, which meant teeth had to be cut to make space.

However, nowadays, thanks to innovative new brands, the placement of porcelain veneers need not involve any drilling, cutting or shaving of the natural tooth as veneers are as thin as a contact lens. With the only preparation required is to remove a small amount of enamel (up to 0.5mm).

That said, some brands of porcelain veneers like Lumineers, require no tooth preparation at all. Patients can also look to composite veneers to keep their natural teeth intact. 

Treatment is conservative

The veneer procedure is completed using the most conservative and preservative methods, clinically proven techniques, and superior material.

The bonding materials used to glue veneers onto your teeth are innovative, cutting-edge, and extremely strong. This ensures long-lasting, comfortable treatment that is also cost-effective for you.

The Type of Veneer Matters

There are now various types of veneers, materials and brands on the market, so it is essential to select the most compatible treatment for your smile and the level of preparation you are prepared to carry out.

Remember that removing enamel, even a small amount, is permanent. Once you commit to porcelain veneers, you need to commit forever. It’s not the same with composite veneers, which are reversible and require no enamel removal. 

“I used to be a very nervous patient and have always been unhappy with my smile. However, I have seen Dr. Doshi’s work and I have so much confidence in him. Now, after having a new smile not only am I more confident but I am able to share my experience and story with everybody else.”
