Consider thin ceramic facings for changes in tooth shape, shade or proportion, with a preview and careful attention to enamel.
At Whole Tooth Dental, veneer planning starts with your goals and a clear discussion of what changing healthy enamel involves.
IllustrativeWhat it is, and why you might discuss it
- Thin, metal-free ceramic facings bond to the fronts of selected teeth.
- They can address some concerns about shape, shade and proportion.
How we assess whether it suits you
- Check enamel, existing fillings and gum health.
- Assess tooth position, bite and grinding habits.
- Review whether the desired shade can be achieved realistically.
What the process involves
- 01Create a digital design and review a preview before alteration.
- 02Confirm the plan and prepare teeth as conservatively as possible.
- 03Check the proposed restorations for fit and appearance.
- 04Bond the veneers and review your bite and care.
Alternatives worth asking about
- Cosmetic bonding
May address smaller changes with less tooth preparation.
Benefits
- Coordinates shape and color changes.
- Provides a preview to support decisions.
- Uses ceramic without a metal framework.
Risks
- Preparation removes enamel that cannot grow back.
- Veneers can fracture or become detached.
- Sensitivity or future replacement may occur.
Limitations
- Not every tooth or shade can be treated predictably.
- Veneers do not correct underlying gum disease or bite problems.
Timing
Design, preparation and fabrication needs determine the sequence. Your dentist explains the expected appointments before treatment begins.
Recovery
Some sensitivity or adjustment to new contours is possible. Report persistent discomfort or changes in your bite.
