What Are No-Prep Veneers?
Ultra-thin ceramic shells (often ~0.2–0.3 mm) bonded to the front of your teeth to improve color, shape, length, and minor alignment. Because they’re so thin, many cases require no drilling and no anesthesia.
Great for: discoloration resistant to whitening, small chips, minor gaps, short/worn edges, and improving overall symmetry.
Are You a Good Candidate?
You’ll likely do well with no-prep veneers if you have:
- Mild discoloration, spacing (diastema), or edge wear
- Adequate enamel and normal bite function
- Straight or only slightly rotated teeth
- Healthy gums and good oral hygiene
May need alternatives or minor prep: significant crowding/rotation, large fillings, severe discoloration, or heavy grinding (bruxism). Your dentist will advise if pre-alignment, whitening, or night-guard protection is recommended.
Treatment Process (Step-by-Step)
- Consultation & Smile Analysis
- Photos, X-rays (as needed), bite check, gum health evaluation
- Discuss shade, shape, and overall smile goals
- Digital Preview
- Smile design with digital simulation; mock-up/wax-up to visualize proportions
- Try-In & Shade Matching
- Temporaries or mock shells to confirm shape and length
- Bonding Day
- Teeth cleaned and minimally prepared (if required), veneers bonded and polished
- Review & Maintenance
- Bite adjustment, home-care instructions, optional night guard
Timeline: many cases complete in 7–14 days (design → fabrication → bonding), depending on case complexity and lab schedule.

FAQs
