Minimal-prep veneers are a lot like our traditional porcelain veneers, except that they require less tooth preparation. Minimal-prep veneers are your cosmetic dentist in Bend’s choice to restore and repair teeth when not quite as much strength is needed, the repairs required are more minimal, or our patients desire less tooth preparation. These are an especially great choice for young people or teenagers who have cosmetic or structural problems with their smiles. What sets minimal-prep-veneers apart from other veneers is their ultra-thin profile. In fact, they are so slim, people compare them to contact lenses for your teeth! Of course, as with any of our cosmetic or restorative plans and procedures, we always spend plenty of time with you:
- Discussing your needs
- Showing you examples of completed minimal-prep-veneer cases
- Reviewing what you want your smile to look like
- And designing your look with you
Minimal-prep veneers are bonded in place for strength and longevity, but because the teeth beneath them have been very slightly altered, minimal-prep veneers can be reversed or replaced.
