When you want a smile makeover and you want it to be transformed with no-prep veneers, you’ll have a conversation with your NYC cosmetic dentist about the right number of veneers for your teeth. There are different configurations that are right for every patient, and you’ll be given guidance and recommendations when it comes to what’s appropriate for your new smile.
The Most Common No-Prep Veneer Smile Makeover
You don’t need a porcelain veneer on every tooth to achieve a successful smile makeover. Six to 10 no-prep veneers are one of the most common transformation options. These carefully customized shields for your teeth are applied to the most visible teeth, starting with the front two and moving out, stretching out your smile as they go.
For patients who want to build up the size of their smile and achieve a wider and better-looking smile, the more veneers the better. Eight or 10 veneers reach into the corners of the lips and fill in any blank areas by building up the teeth underneath and eliminating a narrow smile.
These 10 or so veneers are also common for patients who want to fix their top teeth only. They may not want the veneer treatment for their bottom arch of teeth, but the recommendation is often to invest in professional teeth whitening to ensure that the whiteness of the enamel matches your entire smile.
NYC Veneers Customized by the Number
Some patients have such a broken-down smile that they want the full works – 20 veneers total on the top and bottom teeth for a complete transformation. This number may be split into 8 and 12 veneers or 10 on both arches – however it’s laid out, the smile makeover will be powerful.
Don’t think that you must go big to make any difference to your smile though. If you have one or two problematic teeth that interrupt an otherwise attractive smile, you might be a great candidate for just a few no-prep veneers that transform your entire appearance.
The Awesomeness of No-Prep Veneers
There are several different types of veneers. They all have a purpose and there is one that’s just right for every qualified patient. Every treatment is customized so the veneers are just right in size, shape, length, color, and translucency, but the most desirable option out there today is no-prep veneers.
Unlike traditional veneers which typically require the removal of tooth enamel to make room for the porcelain shield, no-prep veneers do not require any such invasiveness. Cleaning and maybe a light sanding are all that is necessary to make room for veneers. They are so thin yet so strong that they are fitted perfectly on top of natural teeth to create a new natural-looking smile.
No-prep veneers have become the ideal way for many people to get the smile makeover they’ve always dreamed of. They might have been nervous about conventional veneers before, but this new NYC cosmetic dentistry option opens doors to a stunning new smile.
