Do my teeth have to be shaved for laminate veneers?

The amount of tooth reduction needed for laminate veneers depends on the position, shape, and color of the teeth, the bite, and the space available for the restoration. No-prep veneers are possible in some cases, but not for every tooth. Since removed tooth structure does not grow back, the extent of reduction and alternatives such as whitening or orthodontics should be reviewed during the diagnosis.
