The shape does not suit you
The teeth look too large, too uniform or out of harmony with your face.
01 / Let’s start with your situation
Removal is part of the solution. First, we need to understand your concerns and whether the restorations need replacing.
The teeth look too large, too uniform or out of harmony with your face.
You want a more natural look, more translucency or a different shade.
There is a ceramic defect, a visible margin or trapped food.
Your gums bother you, or chewing or your bite feels different.
Do you simply want lighter teeth? Natural teeth and ceramic veneers require different solutions.

Er:YAG is a laser with a wavelength of 2940 nm. Its energy is readily absorbed by water. When removing suitable ceramics, it helps weaken the layer that bonds the veneer to the tooth.
Weakening the bond
between veneer and tooth.
With conventional removal, the dentist gradually cuts through the ceramic. The laser acts on its bond: energy passes through a suitable restoration to the cement layer.
Once the bond weakens, the veneer can be detached. The dentist then cleans the surface and assesses the tooth. Sometimes a combination of laser and mechanical treatment is needed.
A thin bonding layer lies between the ceramic and the tooth. This bond holds the restoration in place.
Energy passes through suitable ceramic to reach the cement and weaken the bond. The dentist controls the settings and cooling.
Once the bond weakens, the dentist removes the veneer, cleans the surface and checks the tooth.
Schematic illustration, not to scale. Er:YAG radiation is invisible to the eye; the result depends on the restoration and protocol.
