Do My Teeth Need to be Shaved Down for Veneers?

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.
 


Minimal Prep/ No prep Veneers:


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.
