When getting porcelain veneers, are teeth usually filed down to pegs? I had thought that for veneers, only a portion of the front of the tooth was removed, so that the teeth weren't too thick after applying the veneers. I thought that filing down to pegs was for crowns. I had my teeth prepped for several upper veneers and they made pegs first, and I'm now wearing a temporary one piece thing, like a fixed bridge over 7 teeth. I'm confused.
