Apr 18, 2009

Anytime a tooth is prepared for a new restoration, whether it is a tiny filling or a full crown some post op sensitvity may occur. This could be due to several reasons.

The best suggestion is to get several opinions and options, educate yourself as to…

As an alternative you may want to speak to a periodontist about a gum graft in that area. You will need to balance the priorities in your mind as to how significant the black triangle is esthetically versus the…

Do teeth get shaved for veneers?

Most times using porcelain veneers does require minimal tooth reduction.
Feb 19, 2009

Unfortunately most of the time a porcelain veneer will require some tooth reduction. By far it is one of the most conservative procedures we do when fabricating restorations made of porcelain. The reason for this is because if we just added porcelain to the front of your tooth without first compensating for its minimal thickness, the end result might look bulky and unnatural.
