Answer: Porcelain veneer removal can be very easy Depending on how well porcelain veneers were bonded, the removal can be easy. Days ago I removed veneers done by another office, to have a new smile done by me. After placing a small groove, very little torque was needed to have the entire restoration fall off.If the bond was done VERY well, it will take more effort, however, removal is never impossible. It should be noted that removal of veneers will require replacement, as the tooth structure is now permanently altered (either in the placement or removal).

Answer: Difficulty With Removing Porcelain Veneers Great question, and the key is defining what you consider difficult.In general, the teeth need to be numb, and the drill is going to run for about the same amount of time it took to shape the teeth to begin with.At that point, the enamel is thin or missing, so the teeth will need to be covered with new porcelain veneers or crowns.In the right office, this should not be difficult!

Answer: Usually not difficult Hello,We routinely remove porcelain veneers in the office when we are either doing revision cases or replacing very old veneers. The process is no more difficult than the actual preparation of teeth for veneers. After removal of veneers and the teeth are exposed, any existing decay needs to be removed. Care should be taken to remove as little extra tooth structure as possible. Good luck!
