What is the Maximum Tooth Structure That Can Be Removed for Preparing for 8 Feldspathic Veneers?
Terry LynnJun 1, 2013
I am in the process of getting 8 Feldspathic Veneers and crowns. Initially the dentist took off .5 mm of tooth. He put on the temporary and my upper lip was puffed out. He told me he did not see the puffiness, but would take off more of the tooth structure. He took off an additional .3 mm and put on a new temporary. My upper lip is still puffed out. What is the maximum amount of tooth structure he can take off and is there anything else he can to to alleviate the protrusion of the upper lip!
