Veneers treatment often takes just two visits. You can get a fresh smile without a long wait or a hard recovery. Plus, custom veneers require little or no numbing during placement, so you can head back to work without lingering numbness.

Discover the Benefits of Conservative Veneers

Conservative veneers make sense if you want a cosmetic change with minimal enamel removal. Enamel is the hardest layer of your tooth. Once it's gone, it never grows back. When you save it, you help keep your teeth healthy for the long haul.

Veneers bond best to enamel, so the more enamel you keep, the better your veneers will stay in place. Minimally invasive veneers are also a great pick if your teeth are healthy and you just want them to look brighter or more even.

In some situations, your dentist can remove minimal-prep veneers later with little change to your teeth. That gives you more freedom down the road.

Find Out If You're a Good Candidate for Thin Veneers

Minimal-prep veneers work best for teeth that are small, worn, slightly stained, or have small gaps. Teeth that sit far forward or have major damage may need a different type of veneer.

Your visit will start with an exam and a conversation about the changes you want to make to your smile. Digital imaging and virtual modeling let you preview your results first. We will then take precise measurements of your teeth so your veneers can be crafted to fit.

At your next visit, your dentist will bond your new veneers in place and polish them smooth. Your smile will look refreshed while your natural teeth stay protected underneath.

Frequently Asked Questions About 
Minimal-Prep Veneers

What is the difference between minimal-prep and traditional veneers? 

The difference between minimal-prep and traditional veneers is how much enamel is removed. Traditional veneers need a thin layer shaved off the front of the tooth. Minimal-prep veneers need little or no reshaping because they are made much thinner.

Will minimal-prep veneers make my teeth look bulky?

Minimal-prep veneers should not make your teeth look bulky when your teeth are a good fit for them. Your dentist plans the shape carefully so your smile looks natural. If your teeth sit forward, a different option may look better.

Do minimal-prep veneers last as long as traditional veneers? 

Minimal-prep veneers can last as long as traditional veneers with good care. Their strong bond to enamel helps them stay in place. Regular checkups, daily brushing, and avoiding hard objects all help protect them.

Can minimal-prep veneers be removed? 

Minimal-prep veneers can sometimes be removed, as your natural enamel stays mostly intact. This makes them more reversible than traditional veneers. Your dentist will need to remove your veneers if you no longer want them. It's best to think of veneers as a long-term choice.

How much do minimal-prep veneers cost? 

The cost of minimal-prep veneers depends on how many teeth are treated and the lab or material used. They're often priced similarly to traditional porcelain veneers. Insurance usually doesn't cover cosmetic veneers. Ask about financing to fit treatment into your budget.
