![]() Veneers are a cosmetic dentistry procedure and can require some prep work to put into place. The prep work can include trimming down the teeth, but this may not always need to happen. Understanding How Veneers WorkVeneers are a thin material that is typically bonded to the teeth to cover over the problems of the teeth. The veneers are actually adding some thickness to the teeth. Because of that, the cosmetic dentist may trim the enamel, so the veneers do not add as much thickness.The dentist follows guidelines about the maximum amount of enamel they can remove. If there is tooth decay evident, it is possible that the tooth will need additional trimming.
