What patients should understand
Veneer preparation varies with the tooth’s shape, position and the desired final result. Many conventional porcelain veneers involve removing some enamel to make room for a restoration. An approach described as minimal-preparation does not automatically mean it is appropriate or fully reversible.
Questions to take to a qualified clinician
Ask your treating dentist to show the planned preparation, discuss bonding or whitening as alternatives, and provide a written account of expected future maintenance and replacement costs.
