What are DURAthin & Micro-thin
Dental Veneers?

Over the years, we have been proud to provide cutting edge dentistry to our Nashville, Tennessee clients. In keeping with this tradition, Dr. Wells has recently pioneered a new smile design procedure about which we are very excited.

The new DURAthin™ Veneers and Micro-thin Veneers, developed by Dr. Wells and dental lab technician Mark Willes, are changing the way we approach cosmetic dentistry. This revolutionary technique removes some of the concerns you may have about removing healthy tooth enamel with traditional dental veneers.

Just like traditional veneers, DURAthin veneers and Micro-thin veneers are a custom-made layer of porcelain designed to change the teeth and enhance the smile just like regular porcelain veneers. The difference is that with these prepless veneers, none of your natural enamel is removed. If you qualify for DURAthin veneers or Micro-thin veneers, we will design the porcelain to go on top of your teeth without doing any drilling or reduction.

How do DURAthin & Micro-thin Porcelain
Veneers Work?

In certain cases, very thin porcelain veneers can be designed to adhere directly to the front of teeth with no removal of the enamel. This means that for some people, we can design the smile of their dreams without even drilling on their natural teeth.

The contact lens-like DURAthin and Micro-thin veneers are bonded directly to the tooth in instances where we are trying to increase the size of the teeth or enhance a narrow arch width.
Generally speaking, people who have had teeth extracted for orthodontic reasons in the past can be great candidates for this exciting procedure. We have also used this technology or prepless veneers to ‘turn back the clock’ for people with small or worn teeth, giving them a more youthful smile.

Dr. Wells and his staff welcomed me with open arms from the very beginning. I shared my insecurities within my smile, and Dr. Wells worked tediously to help perfect my smile. I appreciate the time and energy spent to create the confident smile that I had longed for. The care and patience that I received were top notch. Because of Dr. Wells I was able to smile brightly and confidently for all to see as I graced the Miss USA stage. Thank you, Dr. Wells for taking the time to give me the most natural looking beautiful smile.

    I love this place! I have had dental issues my entire life, and Nashville Aesthetic Dentistry is by far the best dental facility I’ve ever been to. They … More recently did dental implants for me and did a fantastic job! But, while their technical work is truly the best in town, what sets them apart for me is the kindness and amazing care and concern of everyone who works there. As soon as you step through their door, you are made to feel like you matter. I can’t recommend them enough!

    Words could never truly express our appreciation for Nashville Aesthetic Dentistry. There are no better experts at their craft, than Dr. Wells and Dr. … More Weese. Their reputations are unmatched. They deliver exemplary results, and treat everyone with kindness and individualized attention. The support staff is equally excellent, attentive, and makes sure you have the best experience possible.
    We consider it a huge blessing to have them caring for us.

    Dr Monroe and Ozzy (and prep team Denise and Stephanie) were AMAZING. Dr Monroe was kind, thorough, and he and Ozzy advised me of everything they did before … More they did it. I felt like I was getting a spa treatment as opposed to a dental treatment. I have to say that coming to the dentist is now NOT a scary experience. I highly recommend this ACE team. They’re the very best in Nashville … and they serve up the best post-treatment smoothies!
