Veneers
Many patients are very familiar with veneers. They have come to
light, especially on shows like “Extreme Makeover”. Veneers are
a valuable tool when minor tooth shape changes are needed, as
well as permanent color changes of the teeth. They are especially
valuable when teeth are stained from tetracycline or fluorosis.
The preparations for veneers can be conservative, however, the
thicker the porcelain is, the better they look. Currently, there
is a move in dentistry to perform “no prep” veneers. This may
seem like a good idea, but in most cases, it is not. It just simply
will not as beautiful or natural as it could be.
The advantage of veneers is that it conserves
tooth structure. Unfortunately, veneers should not be used when
major changes are necessary or when teeth are worn. They will
most likely break under these circumstances.
