Enjoy veneers without shaving teeth with no-prep veneers
Patients in Costa Mesa, California, considering veneers, often hear about the preparation needed to place them—including the removal of a thin portion of healthy, natural tooth enamel. Fortunately, Dr. Joyce Kahng and her team at Orange and Magnolia Dental Studio believe in providing no-prep alternatives, including no-prep veneers. Let’s look at how you can get veneers without shaving teeth enamel beforehand!
How do no-prep veneers work?
No-prep veneers are a type of dental restoration designed to improve the appearance of teeth without any preparation or alteration of the natural tooth structure. They are a non-invasive procedure that involves bonding very thin shells of materials such as porcelain or composite to the front surfaces of the teeth.
What are the steps to receiving no-prep veneers for the smile?
- Virtual Consultation appointment. The process of getting no-prep veneers starts with an initial consultation with a dental provider who specializes in cosmetic dentistry, such as Dr. Joyce Kahng of Orange and Magnolia Dental Studio. During this consultation, Dr. Joyce Kahng will assess whether you are a good candidate for a No Prep Veneer.
- Office Visit 1: Impressions and imaging. If you are deemed a suitable candidate for no-prep veneers, the next step is taking scans and photographs of your teeth. These are used to design a smile based on your facial features and desires.
- Office Visit 2: Trial fitting. Before the final placement of the veneers, you will have a trial fitting to ensure that they look natural on your teeth. This also allows for any necessary adjustments to be made before the permanent bonding process.
- Office Visit 3: Permanently Cementing. The final step in receiving no-prep veneers is the bonding process. This involves carefully adhering the veneers to the front surfaces of your natural teeth using dental cement or resin and curing them with a special light. The result is a beautiful, natural-looking smile that can last many years with proper care.
What are the benefits of no-prep veneers?
- Minimal preparation. Since no-prep veneers do not require drilling of the natural tooth structure, they are a much more conservative option than traditional veneers or other cosmetic dental procedures, including crowns or braces.
- Non-invasive. The process of receiving no-prep veneers is non-invasive and does not involve any drilling, injections, or discomfort. This makes it a great option for those who may have dental anxiety or a fear of needles.
- Natural-looking results. No-prep veneers are custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth. This creates a seamless and natural-looking smile that can boost your confidence and self-esteem.
- No temporaries. Unlike other dental procedures, no-prep veneers can be done without having to wear temporaries for 3 weeks.
- Easy maintenance. No-prep veneers require the same level of care as natural teeth – regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. With proper maintenance, they can last for many years.
