It is believed that around 8% of Americans have dental veneers. But an increase in awareness of the dental product is leading to a surge in demand.
Yet, many are understood to back away from the treatment when they come to learn what the procedure involves.
The final outcome - a perfectly crafted shell that hides a tooth's crack or chip - is obviously attractive. But the idea that a dentist will grind down your enamel before applying the veneer can often generate some second thoughts.
Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF) believes it has a solution for these people. Its FDA-cleared UltraThineer product is believed to be the world's thinnest veneer and is already in the mouths of hundreds of patients.
