Thin layers of porcelain are bonded to the outside of unsightly teeth. Often little or NO tooth reduction or preparation is required for beautiful results.
Lumineers are one well-known example of these types of no preparation veneers.
However, since Lumineers were first introduced onto the market over 30 years ago we now have other brands of ultra-strong, ultra-thin porcelain materials with improved aesthetics.
Often no anesthetic or temporaries are needed for our dental veneers simply because we conserve most of the tooth structure, making only small adjustments so that the veneers blend naturally.
