Veneers are often marketed as the gold standard for smile makeovers—but at Integrative Holistic Dentistry in Chapel Hill, we believe in safer, more sustainable options. While veneers can create a flawless look, they often require significant enamel removal and contain materials that don’t align with a holistic lifestyle. That’s why we educate patients on biocompatible alternatives that enhance your smile naturally—without irreversible damage.

The process of getting veneers usually involves grinding down healthy enamel and bonding a porcelain shell to the tooth. While the result may look impressive, it’s permanent—and not always ideal for long-term wellness. The adhesives and cements used can contain BPA, fluoride, or metal particles, which may pose health concerns for patients with sensitivities or autoimmune conditions.

Instead, our Chapel Hill team offers holistic smile enhancements like tooth-colored bonding, gentle enamel contouring, and natural teeth whitening. These options allow us to correct chips, gaps, uneven edges, and discoloration without aggressive intervention. Best of all, they preserve your natural tooth structure and support oral health in the process.

We take the time to assess your facial symmetry, bite alignment, and dental health before making any cosmetic recommendation. Our goal is to help you achieve a confident smile that’s authentic to you—and safe for your body. If you’ve been considering veneers, let’s explore your options the holistic way.
