should veneers not be right, will i be able to have them removed and return to my previous smile?
Answer: Veneer Removal A traditional dental veneer can be removed and replaced with another dental veneer, but a true return to the original dentition is not able to be achieved. A feldspathic or "ultra-thin" porcelain can be placed over the existing tooth and can be removed. That being said, a return to the "previous smile" most likely cannot be accomplished in total as there are adhesives and cements that need to be removed along with the veneers. Choosing an ultra-thin veneer such as Lumineers, just because "you might want to have them taken off", is a poor reason to factor into such a big decision. Find a reputable cosmetic dentist, create a proper treatment plan, work out the details together, and enjoy your new smile. The veneers should look "right" and you should be happy with your final result.

Answer: Veneers Once your teeth are prepared for veneers, they will always need to covered with a porcelain restoration. I always tell patients once you get veneers, you will always have veneers. Find a cosmetic dentist you are comfortable with as this is a commitment and you want to be happy with the results. There is a lot of planning that goes into smile design and smile makeovers. Some dentists will let you see a trial smile in your mouth and you get to also test out your smile for some time in temporaries before your final veneers are cemented. Additionally, before your final veneers are cemented you should see them tried in with a try-in cement to approve them and make sure you're happy. All of these steps will ensure you're happy with your end result and won't need to have them removed. Best of luck and follow us for more information!

Answer: Dental Veneers Are Removable
Porcelain veneers are removable , but the need to do so does not arise often. Veneers are bonded to your enamel, therefore they will have to be removed with a hand piece. If they are removed they would have to be replaced with new ones. Make sure that you are happy with your veneers before they are bonded in so that you to not have the need to replace them for many, many years.

Answer: Dental veneer removal tips We typically tell patients that Once Veneers, Always Veneers. However, now with no-prep cases, you could conceivably remove the veneers, polish your teeth back to the before status -- but only if your teeth do not require preparation. A better suggestion would be to find the right cosmetic dentist for you -- then you can be sure you will be happy with the result. Go to a few consultations until you know you're in the right hands.

Answer: Yes and No If you were deem a great candidate for Lumineers ("no prep"), then yes, you can choose to have the Lumineers removed and return to your old self. If you chose and end up with traditional veneer where the dentist ground and shaved your natural teeth away to place the traditional veneers, then no, your old teeth shape is no longer there. Lumineers can be reversible where traditional veneers are not.
