Porcelain veneers are the ultimate in smile transformation. In a short period of time, stained or crooked and chipped teeth are white, even, and symmetrical. Patients at Lompoc Family Dental have two options, traditional veneers or minimal prep veneers. The difference between them is in the preparation of your own teeth.
Both types of veneers require preparation of your natural tooth so the veneers will adhere to them permanently. Traditional veneers require preparation to your tooth that is not reversible. It may even require removing part of the surface so that all your veneers will be even and work together properly.
An alternative to traditional veneers is minimal-prep veneers. They look the same as traditional veneers but require less tooth preparation and enamel reduction than traditional veneers.
