They are simply one brand of porcelain veneers. Though they are ultra-thin, they are certainly not the only brand of ultra -thin veneers.<\/p>\n<p>A second misconception is that your teeth need to be ground down in order to place porcelain veneers. The dental treatment that requires grinding is porcelain crowns. Veneers are totally different. \u00a0Your tooth does require some mild preparation, but it only changes your teeth abou the depth of a fingernail. It is so insignificant that people won&#8217;t be able to tell the difference between a prepared or unprepared tooth.<\/p>\n<p>I would trust your lumineers in this case. If he&#8217;s not too keen on you using lumineers, he must think that a different brand will give you a more attractive smile.<\/p>\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myoklahomacitydentist.com\">Oklahoma City Dentist<\/a> Dr. Don Swearingen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m hoping you can help me. \u00a0I told my dentist that I want lumineers, but he&#8217;s insisting I get porcelain veneers.
