Minimal Prep Veneers Explained
Minimal prep veneers are ultra-thin porcelain or composite shells that adhere to the front of your teeth. Unlike traditional veneers, they require only a small amount of enamel removal—usually just 0.3 to 0.5 mm—preserving more of your natural tooth structure while delivering a natural, radiant smile.
Benefits of Minimal Prep Veneers
Minimal prep veneers provide a conservative, modern approach to cosmetic dentistry, enhancing your smile while preserving your natural teeth. Unlike traditional veneers, they require little to no enamel removal, maintaining the integrity of your tooth structure. They are perfect for addressing common aesthetic concerns such as discoloration, minor chips, gaps, and slight misalignment. Treatment is often faster, with fewer visits, and more comfortable for patients. With proper care, minimal prep veneers offer a durable, natural-looking result that restores function and boosts smile confidence.
- Conservative Approach: Maintains the majority of your natural enamel.
- Minimally Invasive: Requires little enamel removal, reducing discomfort and sensitivity.
