No-prep veneers are comparable to regular porcelain veneers in that they are installed over your natural teeth to cover any undesired aesthetic concerns. However, unlike porcelain veneers, no-prep veneers are super thin and can bond to your teeth without any preparation (without drilling or touching your teeth).

What this means for you is if you ever choose to remove the veneers, your teeth will appear exactly as they did before they were placed.

Reasons for No-Prep Veneers

If your teeth have any gaps, chips, stains, or discolorations, you may be a good candidate for porcelain no-prep veneers, a highly effective and minimally-invasive cosmetic procedure that can achieve beautiful results.

In the event you have more significant cosmetic concerns like missing or extremely crooked teeth, another approach such as implants, crowns, or Invisalign may make more sense.

What Do No-Prep Veneers Involve?

Just like conventional veneers, no-prep veneers are directly bonded to the surface of your teeth to change their size, shape, and/or color. Since they are only the width of a contact lens, however, Dr. Amin Samadian won’t have to remove very much enamel. In some instances, he won’t have to remove any enamel at all. Using his in-house digital lab, Dr. Samadian and his San Francisco team are able to produce your veneers the very same day. Also using his exceptional technology, Dr. Samadian’s team can do a detailed, lifelike smile mock-up for you so you can see how your smile will look after getting the veneers before even committing to the procedure.

Are No-Prep Veneers Painful?

Because little to no enamel is removed from the teeth, no-prep veneers are completely painless.

What results will you see?

No-prep veneers can enhance the color, shape, symmetry, and overall look of your smile. Since they are so light, you don’t have to worry about them appearing or feeling bulky.
