This means that more people than ever before are opting to enhance their smiles, and in turn, their livelihoods. Some patients turn toward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aviondentaldallas.com\/veneers.html\">veneers<\/a> to achieve this; however, if you\u2019ve heard of this treatment, you\u2019ve maybe heard that you\u2019ll have to have some of your enamel removed beforehand. Here\u2019s more from your trusted cosmetic dentist about why this is a necessary step of the process!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Does Enamel Need to Be Removed for Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main selling point of veneers is their versatility; they can address a wide range of issues including things like staining, chips and cracks, gaps between teeth, and more. This is because they\u2019re expertly crafted to blend in seamlessly with your smile. Your dentist will customize them to look just like your natural teeth before bonding them to the outer surfaces of the teeth being treated\u2014but before they can do this, the teeth in question need to have some enamel removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though this might sound a little frightening, it\u2019s nothing you need to worry about at all; more importantly, it ensures the lasting success of your veneers. If your veneers were placed without any prep work, they\u2019d appear bulky and unnatural, thus defeating their purpose! They\u2019d also have trouble staying firmly attached. But by treating your teeth for the veneers, your dentist can ensure they lay flush and perfectly cover any present aesthetic issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Enamel Is Removed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As with anything else they do, your dentist will take a conservative approach when it comes to removing enamel from your teeth in preparation for veneers. They will only remove what\u2019s absolutely necessary, which in this case is a fairly small amount: roughly half a millimeter, or about the thickness of a fingernail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The steps following this part of the process are relatively straightforward: impressions are used to create your veneers, which are then bonded to the treated teeth when ready. Sometimes temporary veneers are placed, which serve as a \u201ctest drive\u201d and give patients a chance to experience how their new smile feels. Once your permanent solutions are finished and bonded, you\u2019ll enjoy all of their awesome benefits for many years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, since enamel cannot grow back, it\u2019s imperative that teeth being treated for veneers always have protection, whether it\u2019s temporary or permanent veneers. This is a lasting alteration; however, it\u2019s certainly a beneficial one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Avion Dental &amp; Orthodontics Is thrilled to serve patients and families in the Dallas, TX area.
