Durathin Veneers

Durathin veneers are one of the biggest breakthroughs ever in achieving the smile that you’ve always wished for. These contact lens-thin “smile shapers” are so thin, yet so strong, that there is no need for the removal of any sensitive tooth structure, no shots, no drilling, and therefore, NO PAIN!

The Trend

Now there’s a “prepless” veneer. Durathin Veneers® are extremely thin—generally 0.2 to 0.4mm. And once bonded, they’re unbelievably strong. By incorporating a traditional porcelain build-up technique, instead of using popular pressed ceramics, Durathin Veneers can block out undesirable colors and allow the beauty of the patient’s natural teeth to shine through. Bottom line? The
color is always right. UVDL ceramists build the color into the veneer instead of
adding it to the surface, allowing greater control of color and translucency. According
to David Hornbrook, D.D.S., “The popularity of prepless veneers is being driven in
part by increased patient desire to prevent removal of healthy tooth structure.”
Providing the options your patients expect builds trust and acceptance of your rec-
ommendations. Of course, not all cases are right for Durathin Veneers

The Technology

By using a traditional porcelain build-up technique instead of the popular
pressed ceramic products, our technicians are able to make shade changes, cor-
rect ortho problems, and make other cosmetic improvements while you remove lit-
tle or no patient enamel. Durathin veneers are very aesthetically pleasing because
they are created by blocking out undesirable colors and allowing the beauty of the
natural teeth to shine through. Because all of the color is built into the veneer
instead of added on to the surface, we are able to make the most of the available
space. Durathin veneers are great for patients who are concerned about having
too much enamel removed. Prior to bonding, these veneers are extremely fragile
because they are so thin (sometimes less than 4mm). However, once they are
bonded they become very durable.
