No-prep veneers are applied to teeth much faster. They take less time and virtually no preparation. Our dentist will make impressions of your teeth, create veneers from the impressions, make sure the veneers match your teeth in size and color, possibly etch the surface of your teeth to give the veneer something to attach to, and then cement the veneers on to your teeth.
Because our dentist doesn’t have to drastically alter your tooth’s surface with preparation, the structure of the tooth is preserved. You probably will not need any local pain killer injected in your gums because our dentist isn’t removing any enamel from your teeth. This is good news for people who may be worried about their sensitivity to anesthesia (pain killer).
No-prep veneers usually last 10 years or longer, depending how well you take care of them. Much like regular veneers, no-prep veneers need good oral hygiene, especially when it comes to cleaning your teeth around your gumline. You need to remove bacteria that could slip in where the veneers meet your gumline.
