No Prep Veneers

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

About No-Prep Veneers

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.

Our No Prep Veneers Process

I

Consultation & Smile Design
We discuss your goals, evaluate tooth alignment, enamel thickness, and bite, then create a personalized plan. Photos and, when helpful, digital scans guide your design.

II

Smile Trial

Veneer “Prep”, Some cases need extremely light contouring to improve symmetry or reduce bulk. We place temporary veneers, that you wear for 2 weeks. While your permanent veneers are hand crafted. Most patients do not require anesthetic.  

III

Bite & Aesthetic Check

We confirm your bite and evaluate the design of your temporary veneers, refining edges and fit. These adjustments guide the final permanent veneers. Then a master ceramist hand crafts your ultra-thin veneers for color, translucency, and edge detail that suit your features.

IV

Placement & Bonding
We try in the veneers, confirm shade and fit, then bond with adhesive systems designed for strong enamel attachment. Final polishing ensures a seamless, natural look.

V

Follow up and After Care
Return for a quick follow-up to confirm your bite and contacts, polish if needed, and take after photos. We will also deliver your protective nighttime retainer and review wear and care instructions to maintain your result.

No-Prep Veneers FAQ

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.
