At Modern Dentistry of St. Cloud, many patients ask us, “What happens to my teeth under veneers?” Here’s what you need to know. When we place veneers, we keep your natural teeth mostly intact. To make room for the veneers and ensure a perfect fit, we gently remove a very thin layer of enamel, typically less than half a millimeter. This small adjustment allows the veneer to bond securely and sit flush with your surrounding teeth.
We don’t alter the rest of your tooth. We preserve the internal tooth structure, including the dentin and root. Once we bond the veneer in place, it acts like a protective shell that strengthens the visible part of your tooth and enhances its appearance.
Many people worry, “Are veneers safe for teeth in St. Cloud?” The answer is yes. When we place veneers correctly, they’re not only safe—they’re a long-lasting solution to cosmetic concerns like chips, gaps, or stains. Veneers can actually help protect the surface of your teeth from further damage.
Some patients feel mild sensitivity after the procedure, but it usually fades within a few days.
