No, not at all. Your Picnic Point dentist removes a bit of tooth enamel from the front surface to ensure our veneers fit flush and don’t look bulky. This is a negligible bit of enamel, but it means you must consider your veneers permanent. The enamel etching without covering it with veneer leaves the tooth exposed and at risk. In other words, if you lose or damage a porcelain veneer, you must replace it to keep the tooth healthy.
How Porcelain Veneers Work
Your cosmetic dentist in Picnic Point has you visit us for a consultation and conversation. This meeting helps us determine your goals and suitability for porcelain veneers. If you’re not a candidate for these cosmetic restorations, the dentist can discuss alternative treatments, such as:
If you proceed with dental veneers, we take impressions of the teeth you’d like to treat and etch the enamel for a flush and natural-looking finish. When your veneers are ready, your dentist cements them to the forward-facing teeth you want to treat.
After veneer placement, you’re free to enjoy your new smile!
