No-prep or minimally-invasive veneers are a great way to quickly improve your smile with a minimal amount of effort. Similar to traditional porcelain veneers, they offer you the appearance of bigger, brighter, and more attractive teeth. It’s easy to see why they’re becoming so popular, with brands such as Lumineers and Veneers offered both in our dental office and in locations across the country.
How Do No-Prep Veneers Work?
Unlike traditional veneers, the no-prep version of the procedure doesn’t typically require the removal of your enamel, even though they are still bonded to your teeth. This means that your dentist won’t need to grind or file down your teeth – which causes irreversible changes. No-prep veneers can simply be placed on the teeth, and can be removed more easily later on if it’s required.
Are No-Prep Veneers Right for Me?
No-prep or minimally-invasive veneers aren’t just for people with near-perfect teeth; they can be beneficial to anyone experiencing the following dental issues:
- Chipped teeth
- Cracked teeth
- Slightly stained teeth
- Slightly worn teeth
If you have misaligned (crooked) teeth or severe staining and discoloration, you may need to have some structuring work done before the veneers can be applied. However, this work still won’t be as intense as what you would experience with traditional veneers, which often require your dentist to penetrate past the enamel layer of your teeth, which weakens them.
