What Are Minimal Prep Veneers?
Minimal prep veneers are ultra-thin porcelain or composite shells bonded to the front surface of the teeth. Unlike traditional veneers, they require only a small amount of enamel—usually 0.3 to 0.5 mm—to be removed. This subtle preparation allows for a more natural appearance while maintaining tooth integrity.
Key Benefits of Minimal Prep Veneers
Minimal prep veneers provide an advanced, conservative approach to cosmetic dentistry, designed to enhance the appearance of your smile with minimal intervention. Unlike traditional veneers, this technique requires little to no enamel removal, preserving the natural structure of your teeth. They are particularly effective for addressing common aesthetic concerns such as discoloration, minor chips, gaps, and slight misalignment. The treatment process is generally more efficient, often completed in fewer visits, and is typically more comfortable for patients. With proper care, minimal prep veneers offer a durable, natural-looking result that supports long-term function and boosts overall smile confidence.
