Durathin Veneers (High Quality Alternative to Lumineers)
At DesertSmiles we are very pleased to show a recent smile makeover using the Durathin veneers. Durathin veneers are a non-prep technique which has been popularized by advertising of Lumineers you may have seen on TV or in print advertisements. We feel these are a much higher quality product made by a master ceramist here in the United States. The Lumineer product is outsourced to China currently.
This is an ideal case for non-prep veneers. The patient is young, the teeth are not dark, and the position of the teeth allows addition without looking bulky. The smallish size of the teeth and the lip contours accept the addition to the teeth quite well. With no preparation of the underlying tooth structure there is minimal trauma or discomfort. Bonding to the enamel layer of the tooth gives maximum strength. Since the teeth are not prepared, the procedure is practically reversible but with these results why would you want to reverse it!
Only 25% of patients have a situation that can be treated entirely with a no-prep technique without seriously comprimising results. But we are doing more hybrid cases where as many teeth as possible are left unpreped and those requiring preparation are treated as conservatively as possible as we always have with our MacVeneer cases.
