A common cosmetic dental procedure is the placement of dental veneers. Recently new ìpreplessî veneers have become more mainstream. Prepless veneers are custom-made, ultra-thin shells used to cover the surface of your teeth. Dental veneers can be used to cover worn, chipped, or cracked teeth, and can even be used to improve the appearance of your teeth alignment. Unlike traditional dental veneers, prepless veneers do not require removing healthy tooth enamel to provide room for veneers. Patients get a bright smile with custom-shaped teeth that look and feel natural with a less invasive procedure.
Why Prepless Veneers?
Prepless veneers can quickly improve the appearance of your smile and do not succumb to decay. They are also difficult to stain. Perhaps the greatest advantage prepless veneers have over traditional dental veneers is that the procedure is reversable. Since the healthy enamel does not need to be removed from the natural tooth when placing prepless veneers, the tooth is still protected by enamel should you need to remove your prepless dental veneers at some future point.
Getting Prepless Veneers
Your dental professional will work with you and answer any questions you have about placing prepless veneers. Because your dental veneers will be custom-made to fit your unique smile, a series of cosmetic dental appointments will be needed to ensure a perfect fit and to match the color with the rest of your teeth.
Living With Prepless Veneers
After the prepless veneers have been permanently placed, they will look and feel just like your natural teeth. You will be able to eat the same foods and use your teeth just as you did before the procedure. Maintain good oral hygiene and tooth care, including brushing and flossing, to keep your prepless veneers and your smile looking their best.
