Dental veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments for improving the appearance of stained, chipped, worn, uneven, or slightly misaligned teeth. While veneers can dramatically transform a smile, many patients are concerned about the preparation process and wonder how much of their natural tooth enamel must be removed.

The amount of enamel removed for veneers is typically minimal, but it varies depending on the patient’s needs and the type of veneer being placed.
