Veneers Prep too aggressive? (Photo)

Not everyone is a candidate for no prep or minimal prep veneers! One of the biggest mistakes that dentists can do is not prepare the teeth enough in some situations. Under prepared veneers can often end up bulky and over contoured. This can lead to gum problems. Achieving the desired color can also be a problem if enough reduction is not performed.

Hello. Teeth have to be prepared to create enough space for veneer materials to overcome chipping or fracture of the material. So, despite the photo is not very clear, I can say this preparation is not too aggressive. I recommend you to trust your doctor

I've reviewed the before and after photos you provided, and I can see your concerns. It's essential to strike the right balance between achieving your desired smile transformation and maintaining the structural integrity of your teeth. The removal of enamel during veneer preparation is a standard practice to ensure a proper fit and natural appearance.

Since you're concerned about the amount of enamel removed and want to ensure the best possible outcome, I'd like to suggest considering a comprehensive smile makeover using zirconia crowns. Zirconia crowns offer several advantages, including the ability to customize the size, shape, and color of your teeth. Additionally, if you're dealing with a gummy smile, the combination of zirconia crowns and gingival contouring can greatly enhance your overall aesthetic.

Zirconia crowns are known for their durability, natural appearance, and biocompatibility. They are an excellent option for those seeking a complete smile transformation. By opting for zirconia crowns, you can achieve a harmonious and stunning smile while addressing any concerns about enamel preservation and smile aesthetics.

I recommend discussing this option with your dentist or a cosmetic dental specialist. They can provide you with personalized advice based on your unique situation and help you make an informed decision about the best course of action to achieve the smile you desire. Your satisfaction and confidence in your smile are of utmost importance, so don't hesitate to explore different options to achieve the results you're looking for.
