How are dental veneers created?

Dental veneers are coverings over the natural teeth to improve, reinforce and/or protect the teeth. The cost depends on the material used(composite or porcelain) and the laboratory supply price. Local factors such as the experience of the dentist, the location of the clinic and the number of teeth to be veneered. There is a recorded webinar on Dental Veneers on this website that you may find helpful. https://www. human. com. sg/dental-veneers-dr-kevin-ong and I have also written an article which discusses the different prices of dental veneers. https://www. human. com.

There are very few situations where there is no need to remove some bulk from the tooth to fit veneers. You have large gaps in between your teeth. Your teeth are already thinned down from previous fillings or acid erosion (you must still have enamel covering the tooth surface for predictable long-term bonding). If BOTH of these criteria exist, then it may be possible to have porcelain veneers without much trimming. Trimming tooth structure for veneers achieves 2 functions: Creates an end-stop for the porcelain to end and to allow easier seating of the veneer.
