Minimal Prep Veneers and Cosmetic Dentistry
In the past, to mask out dark colored teeth, it was necessary to prep the teeth at least 1mm to have room to layer porcelains to block out the color with porcelain veneers. With the advent of stronger porcelains that are esthetic, in the hands of skilled cosmetic dentists and lab technicians, this is no longer true.
Discolored and crooked teeth
Veneers to Straighten and Whiten Teeth
The veneers in this case are about 3-4 tenths of a mm thick and are minimal prep veneers. In this case, our patient desired whiter teeth, a straighter smile, and for us to widen the smile. Note that the teeth are not too bulky as sometimes seen with Lumineers. We also artistically recontoured the spaces between the teeth to the patients desires.
In our office, cosmetic dentistry is not only about nice smiles but also about creating smiles for each individual based on what they desire.
