What Are Veneers?

Veneers offer a long-lasting solution for cosmetic imperfections in your smile, such as stained or discolored teeth, cracked or chipped teeth, gaps, or misaligned teeth. These ultra thin layers are tinted to match the color of your teeth, providing an entirely natural appearance. Veneers can be made from porcelain or composite resin. Dr. Rink favors prep-less veneers, which don’t require any shaving of the tooth structure.

What is Dr. Rink’s Approach to Veneers?

Dr. Rink takes an individualized, minimalist approach to this solution, aiming for maximum results with the fewest veneers necessary. However, if you wish to achieve a picture-perfect Hollywood smile, Dr. Rink can help you create precisely the smile you desire, bringing confidence and transformation through a customized treatment plan. To learn more about the benefits of porcelain veneers and how they can enhance your smile, contact our Charleston office today.

What Are the Different Types of Porcelain Dental Veneers?

We offer two primary varieties of veneers: those that require tooth preparation and those that do not. An in-depth consultation can determine your dental veneer candidacy and which type will best meet your needs.

Dr. Rink prefers to provide veneers requiring no preparation (tooth enamel removal) whenever possible. This minimalist approach allows for maximum preservation of natural tooth structure and is the least invasive of all dental procedures.

In some instances, traditional veneers that require natural tooth preparation could be a better choice for the desired aesthetic outcome. A well-made porcelain veneer, whether prep-less or conventional, can last 20 years or more with attentive care. Dr. Rink is committed to providing treatments tailored specifically to his patient's needs, and he can help you decide which treatment will achieve the best results.

Prepless Veneers

Prepless veneers are an excellent option for those who want to improve the aesthetics of their teeth, but who are not willing to file down their healthy tooth enamel. Prepless veneers are ultra-thin porcelain shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. These translucent shells mimic the look and sheen of natural tooth enamel, while covering stains, chips, and other minor aesthetic imperfections.

Since they require little to no alteration, patients may choose to remove their prepless veneers without the need for another treatment, usually restorations, to strengthen the affected teeth. With proper care, your custom-crafted prepless veneers could last up to 20 years. Dr. Rink has placed over 15,000 veneers in his career and will help determine if this treatment is right for you.

Traditional Veneers

If you require a traditional veneer, the process begins with the removal of a small portion of the tooth's front surface, roughly equal to the thickness of an eggshell. This provides space for the veneer and creates a suitable bonding surface (if your veneer requires no preparation, this step is omitted).

Next, a digital impression is taken of the tooth being treated, and transmitted to the CEREC system. With this impression, we can design a dental veneer that will fit uniformly in the mouth and help you realize your aesthetic goals.

When the veneer is complete, it will be tested in to ensure a proper fit. Dr. Rink will make any necessary adjustments and verify that the color is correct. Finally, the veneer is bonded to the tooth with dental cement.
