So veneers are basically porcelain. They’re bonded to your teeth. Sometimes they require no drilling at all.
Sometimes they do require a minimal amount of removal of tooth surface to make sure they set in the teeth naturally so that it doesn’t look like you have bulky teeth. You cannot just add material to your teeth to make it look nice. You have to see how it plays with your lip and if it sticks out too much, that’s not good either.
It’ll look fake. So a little bit sometimes of drilling is involved, but it is probably the most minuscule amount of drilling you can have for something permanent in cosmetic dentistry. It is, I would think of it as, you know, I tell a lot of patients, it’s kind of like you’re doing your fingernail and how women patients understand this.
It’s like a, you know, fake fingernail that you put on. We’re basically putting on a very thin layer of porcelain and bonding it on your teeth.
