Minimally Invasive Smile Enhancement
Minimal-prep veneers are ultra-thin porcelain or composite shells bonded directly 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 create a natural, seamless appearance. This conservative method preserves your teeth’s structure while providing a beautifully smile.
Advantages of Minimal-Prep Veneers
Minimal-prep veneers are ideal for patients seeking enhanced aesthetics without extensive tooth reshaping. Being thinner than traditional veneers, they provide a more natural look while preserving more of your original tooth structure. Despite their slim profile, they offer excellent strength, durability, and a highly lifelike appearance.
