No-prep Porcelain Veneers – Veneers without grinding teeth are a non-invasive alternative to traditional veneers, allowing you to change your smile’s appearance while conserving as much tooth enamel as possible.
This technique is best suited for fixing gaps and spaces or as an addition to small or short teeth.
No-prep Veneers or Prepless Porcelain Veneers are one of the most versatile and effective cosmetic dental treatments available. Placed over the front of teeth, dental veneers can be used to conceal multiple flaws at once, restoring a bright, brilliant, and even appearance to smiles marred by:
Chipped or cracked enamel
Uneven tooth sizes
Crooked tooth presentation
Gaps or spaces in between the teeth
Severe discoloration
Often effective on their own for a complete smile makeover, No-prep Porcelain Veneers – Veneers without grinding teeth offer a reliable and long-lasting solution for many of the most common cosmetic dental concerns.

Patients who need bigger changes or improvements are better off with prep veneers because they can be made thinner or thicker according to the needs of the patient
No-prep veneers are for patients who want to brighten their teeth a bit or have close or small spaces in the teeth
Prep veneers are better suited for more extensive problems like darker discoloration, fractures, minor misalignment and slightly larger spaces
To determine if this treatment option is right for you, it is crucial to both consider the benefits of no-prep veneers and be aware of the disadvantages.
No-prep veneers cannot produce as drastic results as traditional veneers. Because no-prep veneers are translucent, your original tooth shade will still be visible after the procedure. We recommend patients have their teeth professionally whitened in advance.
No-prep veneer candidates must have even smiles in optimal condition. To be a viable candidate, your teeth need to be absolutely straight and in good oral health.
No-prep veneers can be costly if we use the brand called Lumineers
No-prep veneers bulk up a smile’s appearance. Without any tooth reduction, veneers can add bulkiness to your smile, especially if your teeth are already on the larger side.
With this procedure, the idea is that the enamel on the front side of your tooth is trimmed back about the same thickness as the veneer that will be placed. That way its overall thickness is not dramatically changed.
The ideal situation is one where all surfaces of the veneer only rest on tooth enamel. For the most part, a dentist will try to limit the depth of the trimming to just the tooth’s enamel layer. That way, all aspects of the veneer’s internal surface will be bonded directly onto enamel. (The type of tooth structure with which the most secure and predictable bond can be made.)
The precise amount of tooth enamel that’s shaved off will vary with each case but it can be as little as .5 to .7 millimeters. That’s about twice the thickness of an eggshell and when compared to most other dental procedures it’s a very small amount.
While performing the trimming, your dentist will keep in mind some recognized guidelines as to the maximum amount of enamel that ideally can be removed, and try to stay within those limits.
b) If your tooth has some areas of decay, your dentist will trim more extensively in those locations so to remove it.
c) At least in theory, porcelain veneers can be bonded over existing white (dental composite) fillings. However, replacing them with new ones helps to insure the most secure bond possible.
d) The outline form of the preparation will be given a shape where the edges of the veneer (where it meets your tooth) aren’t easily seen or lie at a point where opposing teeth make contact.
It involve removal of a layer of enamel from the front of the teeth that are being treated. The total amount of enamel depends on the desired results of the patient. In most cases, we removes about .5 mm to .7 mm of dental material from the front of the teeth. The dentist then takes an impression of the teeth in order to make the veneers in the dental office or at an off-site dental lab. With Traditional Veneers, Temporary veneers are always placed to protect the underlying dentin and prevent sensitivity while eating or drinking and to preserve appearance, but not in Prepless. Once the veneers are complete and back from the lab, we checks their shape and appearance to make sure the veneer does not affect the bite of the patient or have any alignment issues. The dentist also checks the color of the veneers against the natural shade of the teeth. We call our patient for a Preview appointment. If our patients are happy with everything cosmetic, we book them next for a cementation appointment. The veneers are then bonded to the teeth and a curing light is used to harden the cement used to attach the veneer to the teeth.
More time is involved in fabricating this type of Dental Veneer on the first visit.
No-prep veneers require virtually zero enamel removal. So during your visit, Dr. Castro will simply take impressions of your teeth and then choose the color of your veneers to match the natural shade of your teeth. Your veneers will be custom-made for a perfect fit to ensure comfort and proper bite. If there’re no alignment issues, the veneer will be bonded to the tooth using dental cement and hardened using a curing light.
Please visit Dr. Castro to determine if no-prep veneers are the right cosmetic dental treatment for you.
Although they can’t remedy every tooth defect, they’re well suited for mild to moderate disfigurements like chipping, staining or gaps.
Less time is involved in fabricating this type of Dental Veneer on the first visit
A more common option, minimal-prep, requires only a minor reshaping with an abrasive tool to ensure the fitted veneer looks as natural as possible. Because of their thinness, these veneers also don’t have to fit under the gum line like standard veneers.
With no-preparation veneers, there may be minimal preparation of tooth structure, but not to the extent required for traditional versions. There is no extensive grinding, cutting, or filing down. Because it is a less invasive procedure, there is often no need for a local anaesthetic either, and patients can enjoy a lower risk of side effects. Both versions are adhesively bonded to the facial surface, or front, of the teeth.
To obtain no-prep or minimal-prep veneers, your tooth enamel needs to be in good, healthy shape. They’re also best suited for people with small or worn teeth, narrow smiles (the side teeth can’t be seen from the front), or slightly stained or misshapen teeth.
Because there’s little invasiveness, these low preparation veneers won’t typically create tooth sensitivity and they can often be applied without any form of anaesthesia. And because tooth structure isn’t removed, they can be “uninstalled” to return to your natural look. Of course, that’s not always an easy process since the bonding between veneer and the enamel is quite strong, although today’s lasers can be used to detach the veneer quite easily.
If you’d like to consider these minimally invasive veneers, talk to us. If you’re a good candidate, you may be able to gain a new smile without much change to your natural teeth.

Because the Traditional Veneers are fraction thicker, they can be made out of more-translucent porcelain. That means light will be able to enter into and reflect back out of them in a fashion that truly mimics the lustrous look of a natural tooth.
Also, a thicker laminate generally offers the dental technician more opportunity to incorporate characterization and shading qualities into the veneer itself by way of using different shades of porcelain in its fabrication. This characterizations effect makes the traditional more natural looking.
Patients who prefer a monochromatic very white bleached teeth, are good candidates for Prepless/No Prep veneers. Because there are no reduction and preparation on the tooth, they could appear lifeless.
The ease and pain-free advantage that no-drilling/no-shots technique offers simply outweighs the disadvantage of a less than perfectly natural-looking outcome.
If you have to ask Dr Castro, she would always choose the traditional Veneers. But you have to decide for yourself what pros and cons of the veneer that you could take to compromise. If cost is not an issue and don’t mind a fraction .03-0.5 mm preparation on your teeth, then go with traditional Veneers. You would be happier with the more natural look.

How many veneers should you get? It is a good idea to have an even number of veneers. Two, four, eight, ten or twelve veneers give the best aesthetic results.
Take a good look at this old image of Matthew Perry from his early days in Friends to see what you DON’T want. It isn’t hard to see a few mistakes there, right?
Take another look at Matthew Perry’s smile above and you’ll understand why these 3 questions are critical:
How big is your smile? Now when you look in the mirror and smile big, how many teeth do you see?
How much whiter do you want your teeth? A little bit or a lot? Or are you happy with the whiteness?
Besides the color, do you want to change anything about the length, width, shape, or overall size?
In simple terms, the bigger your smile and the bigger the changes that you want, the more teeth have to be treated
No – not just looking straight on – look from the sides, too. Too many people think they only show 6 teeth, because that’s what they see in the mirror. But if you turn your head just a little to one side, you’ll realize that you probably show at least 8 or 10 teeth total in a big grin. You see what a big mistake that was for Matthew Perry, right? He clearly needed 10-12 veneers, his grin is so wide.
Of course, if you are only unhappy with 1-2 teeth in that whole smile, you always have the option of only treating those specific teeth. Just because you show a lot of teeth in your smile doesn’t mean all of them need porcelain veneers , but if you want to change your whole smile, you do need to plan on treating ALL the teeth that show in your smile.
Again, Matthew is a great example. He obviously wanted his smile to be a lot brighter; he’s in Hollywood after all. It’s easy to see that, if you make a dramatic change in the colour of your smile, you can’t stop half way. This is one of the most important reasons to look at how many teeth you show when smiling. If you want much brighter teeth, you have to do all the teeth that show. Sometimes that means doing the bottom teeth, too.
If you’re keeping the colour teeth you already have, you have more freedom to choose how many teeth get veneers. In fact, if you like the natural colour of your teeth, you might only need to do whichever teeth you don’t like. However, if you only get 1-2 teeth done but want your whole smile brighter, do Teeth Whitening FIRST. can’t be whitened!
