Treatment
No-Prep Veneers
Thin veneers bonded to your natural teeth with little to no removal of tooth structure.
No-prep veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of your teeth to reshape their color, size, and shape, with little or no drilling.
Dr. Perimenis takes a digital scan, works with a master ceramist to craft each veneer, then bonds them into place at a later visit.
Because little natural tooth is removed, more of your own healthy structure stays intact while your smile looks brighter and more even.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about no-prep veneers.
No-prep veneers suit people with small chips, worn edges, minor gaps, or discoloration who want a brighter, more even smile. They work best when your teeth and gums are healthy and the change you want is modest. If more significant reshaping is needed, Dr. Perimenis may suggest traditional veneers instead.
You start with a consultation where you talk through the look you want and Dr. Perimenis takes a digital scan. A master ceramist then crafts your veneers, and you return for a second visit to check the fit and have them bonded into place. Because no drilling is needed, the appointments are comfortable and usually require no numbing.
Most cases take two visits spread over a couple of weeks, one to plan and scan, and one to bond the finished veneers. The exact timing depends on how many teeth are involved and how quickly your ceramist completes the work.
Even though little or no tooth structure is removed, veneers are still a long term choice, so the shape and shade are planned carefully with you first. No-prep veneers are thin, which makes them best for smaller changes rather than major reshaping.
There is no real downtime, and you can eat and speak normally the same day. Your teeth may feel slightly different at first as you get used to the new surface, and that usually settles within a few days.
