What makes D2O’s approach to cosmetic dentistry unique?
At D2O Dental, we prioritize preserving your natural teeth as much as possible. Our completely reversible veneers don’t require cutting natural teeth, and we use advanced laser technology to adjust or remove veneers without drilling. Preserving natural tooth structure is crucial for long-term dental health, reducing the risk of future complications and ensuring a healthier, more natural-looking smile.
Why is it important to avoid cutting teeth during cosmetic procedures?
Cutting natural teeth can weaken their structure, increase sensitivity, and raise the risk of issues like decay or damage over time. That’s why we take a minimally invasive approach at D2O Dental. By avoiding unnecessary drilling or cutting, we protect your teeth while still delivering beautiful, lasting results that maintain their strength and health.
How does Invisalign fit into D2O Dental’s philosophy of preserving natural teeth?
Invisalign allows us to straighten teeth without altering their structure, which aligns perfectly with our philosophy of preserving natural teeth. Many patients who think they need veneers can achieve stunning results with Invisalign paired with professional whitening. For those who do need veneers, Invisalign often lets us create no-cutting-teeth veneers, ensuring a more natural and long-lasting outcome.
