Reason being, the procedure of getting veneers require the trimming some of your teeth. Trimming is an irreversible procedure. Furthermore, veneers are carefully bonded onto each specific teeth. Even if they were removed, your teeth and smile will look different. They do not go back to original form.

This is why I always encourage my patients to make sure that they truly understand what getting veneers entail before they embark on this journey.

We usually help our patients to perform an Aesthetic Trial Smile to help them visualise how they will very possibly look like after their final smile makover. However, not all patients are suitable for this trial smile. Please check with your dentist to find out more!
