No Prep Veneers / Minimal Prep Veneers

As the name suggests, No-prep Veneers are a type of dental cosmetic treatment in which very thin porcelain laminates are placed on top of your teeth without shaving down your teeth. No Prep veneers are also known as prepless veneers or minimal prep veneers. These type of veneers are very minimally invasive as either no tooth structure is removed or a very thin layer of enamel is removed selectively to create space for the desired porcelain dental veneer. In cases where no prep veneers are possible; this technique allows us to preserve healthy tooth structure without any need of significant removal or alteration of the natural tooth. No Prep Veneers can be customized at the highest level at our office giving you a stunning natural smile.

No prep veneers are an attractive option to correct and conceal minor tooth defects like gaps, staining or discoloration, chipped teeth, minor cracks or fractures. Prepless veneers offer several advantages which include, less preparation of teeth, preservation of enamel and restoration of less tooth structure.

One of the main advantages of minimal prep veneers is the preservation of the enamel of teeth. Enamel is the strongest, outermost layer of your teeth and the bonding of veneers is the strongest when porcelain veneers are cemented to the enamel layer of your tooth. No prep veneers are the treatment of choice for people with cavity-free healthy teeth looking for a non-invasive solution for a beautiful smile.

No prep veneers also help restore the lost tooth structure in people experiencing dental erosion, loss of tooth enamel, tooth fractures, and chipped teeth. Restoring the lost structure in teeth with porcelain veneers also helps reduce the sensitivity of teeth by covering the sensitive layers of teeth.

Some prepless veneers or no prep veneers can be done without anesthesia making it a comfortable procedure with people with dental anxiety.

Minimum prep veneers can be very thin yet durable to give the best aesthetics. With proper care, your veneers can last you a long time. Learn how to care for your porcelain veneers!

No prep veneers come with many advantages, but there are very few drawbacks to consider. No-prep veneers provide beautiful transformations on people with healthy teeth with gaps and small teeth. However, with prepless veneers, the extent of changes that can be made to enhance the smile are limited. For example if you want to make one tooth appear smaller to gain symmetry between left and right, you cannot do it till we make space for the new smaller porcelain veneer by contouring the tooth in question. For this reason, not everyone is a candidate for no-prep porcelain veneers.
