Transform your smile with little to no drilling. No-prep veneers are ultra-thin porcelain or ceramic shells bonded to the front of your teeth, often without shots, drilling, or removing healthy enamel. They brighten, even, and refine your smile while keeping your natural tooth structure intact.
Why Choose No-Prep Veneers
Minimal to no enamel removal
Typically no anesthesia and faster appointments
Natural, translucent aesthetics that resist stains
Reversible in select cases because enamel is preserved
Durable when properly designed and cared for
Great For
Small gaps, minor rotations, and slightly short teeth
Discoloration that doesn’t respond to whitening
Small chips, worn edges, and uneven contours
Patients with adequate space and normal bite forces who value a conservative option
May Not Be Ideal For
Large color mismatch or significant crowding or rotation
Bulky teeth or limited space that may require slight contouring
Heavy grinders or clenchers without a nightguard
Teeth with large existing restorations where traditional veneers or other options may be better
No-Prep vs. Traditional Veneers
Tooth reduction: No-prep preserves enamel, traditional veneers often require controlled enamel shaping.
Thickness: No-prep veneers are ultra-thin to sit naturally without bulk.
Indications: Best for subtle to moderate cosmetic changes, larger shape or position changes often favor traditional veneers.
They are designed as ultra-thin layers and placed only when there is enough space to avoid bulk. If space is limited, minimal contouring may be recommended.
Usually not. Most cases involve little to no drilling, so local anesthetic is rarely necessary.
They can mask many stains, but very dark discolouration may need a different approach or slightly thicker veneers. We will advise at your consult.
Because enamel is preserved, removal is simpler than with traditional veneers, but veneers are considered a long-term cosmetic treatment. Plan as a permanent upgrade.
A standard hygiene visit usually takes 45 to 60 minutes. Deep cleanings may require additional time or multiple visits.
Cosmetic treatments are not typically covered, but some plans contribute when there is structural need. We will provide a written estimate and options before you begin.
