Worried About Preparation For Veneers? You Have Options!

If you’re looking for the best porcelain veneers in Dallas, White Dental Spa in Highland Park, TX is the best practice for you – especially if you’re worried about the veneer preparation process.

While traditional veneers are minimally invasive, they do require the removal of some enamel from the teeth, which means that the procedure is usually irreversible. But at White Dental Spa, our dentists in Dallas have a variety of alternatives to traditional veneers, such as ultra-thin, “no-prep” Lumineers.

The Traditional Veneer Preparation Process

In order to provide a seamless fit for the veneer, a thin layer of enamel is removed from the teeth – about the same thickness as the new porcelain veneer. Although it’s completely safe and ensures a more effective bond, some patients do not like the idea of removing tooth enamel. Luckily, there are now several alternatives to traditional veneers.

Minimal-Prep Veneers

Minimal-prep veneers are used when patients would like to preserve most of the natural tooth structure, but a small amount of grinding, filing, and tooth preparation is required for veneers to be effective.

This has the added benefit of dramatically reducing the amount of time spent in the dentist’s chair, and reducing discomfort throughout the process. Most patients who get minimal-prep veneers don’t even need a local anesthetic.

Usually, minimal-prep veneers are thinner than traditional porcelain veneers. This reduces the need to grind down existing tooth material, though a small amount of enamel usually must still be removed.

If you are interested in preserving all of your natural tooth structure, you do have another option.

No-Prep Veneers

Lumineers are the most popular type of no-prep veneers. If you’re looking for veneers that don’t require any preparation, Lumineers from White Dental Spa are the right choice for you.

“No-prep” means that no enamel will be removed from your teeth during the placement of your Lumineers. Because they are so thin – about the thickness of a contact lens – they usually fit your existing teeth without any removal of enamel. However, no-prep Lumineers are better suited for patients who are seeking to add volume to their smile.
