Veneers conceal everything a person dislikes about their smile, from chips and cracks to stains and discoloration, gaps and misalignment to short teeth and excess gums. Yes, one cosmetic dentistry treatment can do all that and more. Many people drag their feet about getting veneers though because they’re worried about the invasiveness of the procedure. Worry no longer – it’s time to talk Microthin veneers.
Microthin Veneers Eliminates the Need to Shave Away Tooth Enamel
Porcelain veneer patients are often concerned about the lasting damage that veneers can do to their teeth. In the traditional veneer procedure, a small amount of enamel must be shaved away to make room for the porcelain shields to be placed on top of the tooth. Microthin veneers, however, eliminate this step in your smile makeover.
Microthin veneers are made of super-thin porcelain so they can fit seamlessly and snugly over your natural teeth – thereby eliminating the need for tooth enamel removal. This reality not only makes it easier and faster for your NYC cosmetic dentist to complete the smile makeover but, should you one day want to reverse the procedure, you can do so without worrying about damage to your natural teeth underneath.
In your dentist’s experience though, patients who invest in Microthin veneers are so happy with their appearance that they never want to make a change again.
The No Prep Veneer Approach
The “prep” part of the traditional porcelain veneer procedure is eliminated in the Microthin veneer procedure. A thorough cleaning is conducted and some light sanding may be needed in areas to even out the color and height of your natural tooth enamel, but that is as invasive as the work will get.
Microthin veneers are customized to adhere to the front of the teeth, flawlessly created by a certified dental lab in size, shape, length, and color. They do not alter your natural teeth underneath in any way, only being carefully bonded to your tooth enamel for a precise fit. This revolutionary approach to cosmetic dentistry has changed lives – veneers are even more attractive and more viable to more people now than ever before thanks to the prepless veneer process.
Choose the Conservative but Powerful Smile Makeover
Microthin veneers are the conservative cosmetic approach to a complete smile makeover. You can opt for a variety of cosmetic dentistry treatments – like porcelain crowns and teeth whitening and Invisalign – but make sure you don’t do it just because you’re worried about veneers altering your teeth.
