Everything You Need to Know About Microthin Veneers
Daunted by the idea of porcelain veneers? Knowing that some healthy tooth enamel must be sanded away to make room for veneers makes many people push pause on this procedure. The field of cosmetic dentistry, however, is always evolving. The newest developments – Microthin and DURAthin veneers –have opened the door to a smile makeover for the patients who have always worried about altering their teeth too much.
- Easy: Microthin veneers require little to no prep.
- Non-invasive: Tooth enamel doesn’t have to be reduced to make room for the veneers.
- Thin: Veneers are incredibly thin, like contact lenses.
- Strong: Microthin veneers are made of carefully constructed layers of strong porcelain.
- Customized: Veneers are customized in size, shape, color, and more so they look natural and complement your overall appearance, while also suiting your age, gender, skin coloring, and even the whites of your eyes.
- Permanent: Once ready, Microthin veneers are carefully placed over the teeth and bonded in place for a smooth, durable finish.
- But, also reversible: The procedure can be reversed later without you having to worry about the state of your natural teeth under the veneers. (Though it’s unlikely that you’ll want to get your old smile back when you realize how amazing your new one looks.)
