You’ve seen it all over tik tok and instagram, shark teeth are not a sight to see. What if we told you that this isn’t always the case? Let’s start by debunking the shaving myth.
For our classic porcelain veneers, the process typically involves delicately removing a small amount of enamel - about as thick as two sheets of paper- to create space for the veneers to snugly fit on your natural teeth. This is referred to as no prep/ minimal prep veneers which allows us to preserve your natural, healthy teeth. This method eliminates the need for the so-called ‘shark teeth’ you always scroll past on social media, while still providing the opportunity to provide you with the stunning smile you crave. This technique is mastered by very few experts in cosmetic dentistry. If interested in learning more about this special technique with our very own experts, click here.
The amount of enamel being removed from your teeth varies depending on the individual and their previous dental work including, crowns, cavities, and past fillings. With the seamless blend of your minimally prepped natural teeth along with our sleek, thin porcelain veneers, you can achieve a natural looking smile that enhances your facial aesthetics.
This might make you wonder…am I a candidate for no prep/ min prep veneers? Well, you’ve come to the right place. The following includes a list of dental issues that would qualify you as the perfect fit:
Small teeth
Teeth gaps are a common cause of an insecure smile. Veneers are a wonderful solution to this insecurity allowing for the dazzling smile you desire.
Erosion of teeth due to wear and tear
Chipped teeth
Broken teeth
Cracks or visible craze lines in teeth
Discoloration of teeth
These appear as gray stains on your teeth that are formed from ingesting antibiotics.
These appear as faint white lines/streaks on the surface of your teeth due to overconsumption of fluoride.
Mild grinders
Minor misalignment of teeth/ crowding of teeth
This happens when some teeth are shifted.
If any of these dental issues align with you, then you’re in great luck, you qualify for no prep/minimal prep veneers! Now it’s time to take the next step and book your consultation.
