Understanding Minimal Prep Veneers
Minimal prep veneers are ultra-thin porcelain or composite shells bonded to the front of your teeth. Unlike traditional veneers, they require only a small amount of enamel—typically 0.3 to 0.5 mm—to be removed, preserving more of your natural tooth structure while achieving a natural, beautiful appearance.
Benefits of Minimal Prep Veneers
Minimal prep veneers offer a conservative, advanced approach to cosmetic dentistry, enhancing your smile with minimal intervention. Unlike traditional veneers, they require little to no enamel removal, preserving your natural tooth structure. They effectively address common aesthetic concerns such as discoloration, minor chips, gaps, and slight misalignment. The treatment is generally more efficient, often completed in fewer visits, and is typically more comfortable for patients. With proper care, minimal prep veneers provide a durable, natural-looking result that supports long-term function and boosts smile confidence.
