Microthin Veneers

Many people interested in a smile makeover avoid pursuing porcelain veneers because they don’t want their natural teeth to be altered and shaved down as part of the preparation. Microthin veneers have transformed this treatment, eliminating the need for enamel removal. Dr. Don Mungcal and his team at Manhattan Beach Dental Solutions are one of the few certified providers of no-prep Microthin veneers in the Manhattan Beach area.

The differences between veneers and microthin veneers

All veneers are designed to work the same way – they are personalized to the patient and placed on top of natural teeth to conceal imperfections and create a flawless smile. Microthin veneers, though, are an innovative option that is very different from their counterparts:

• No drilling or reduction of healthy tooth enamel is necessary.
• Faster and easier procedure thanks to the elimination of enamel alteration.
• Made of super-thin porcelain to fit seamlessly over natural teeth.
• Customized in size, shape, color, and length to adhere to the front teeth.
• The procedure is reversible, though most patients love their smile too much to change it.

The porcelain of Microthin veneers is carefully layered to cover up every smile imperfection. Whether you have stains, discoloration, chips, gaps, or otherwise, the veneers bond to the teeth and are precisely situated to look straight and perfect. The veneers complement every patient’s face shape, skin color, age, and gender for a natural look.

What makes a good Microthin veneers candidate?

If you relate to any of the following statements, you may be a good Microthin veneers candidate:

• I wish my small teeth didn’t make me look like a kid.
• I wish my narrow smile were bigger.
• I am tired of my worn-out teeth.
• I have multiple chipped and cracked teeth.
• My teeth are crooked but I don’t want braces.
• I wish I had a younger-looking smile.

Before anything about your smile can change, your Manhattan Beach cosmetic dentist will conduct a thorough dental exam. The smile makeover for which you qualify will be influenced by the condition of your oral health. Both teeth and gums must be strong, healthy, and free from decay or infection. Budget is also a factor. Cosmetic dentistry is typically not covered by dental insurance, but with excellent financing options from your dentist, you can still pursue this life-altering smile makeover.

Find a Microthin veneers expert in Manhattan Beach

It’s so important to do your research and decide upon the cosmetic dentist whose offerings align with the smile makeover you want. When it comes to Microthin veneers especially, you want a dentist who knows what they’re doing and can give you the smile you envision. Microthin veneers require:

• Precision
• An eye for detail
• Incredible technical skill
• Meticulous workmanship

Though Microthin shells are delicate, once bonded to your natural tooth enamel, they adopt the strength of that tooth and enhance it with the powerful porcelain. Durable and long-lasting, smile makeovers made with Microthin veneers are streamlined, smooth, and look just like natural teeth.
