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