NON-PREP VENEERS – YOUR DREAM SMILE, NO DRILLING REQUIRED
Have you ever wished for that flawless, Hollywood-style smile — perfectly shaped, bright white teeth that look effortlessly natural?
Here’s the good news: you can have it without drilling or pain.
Welcome to the world of non-prep veneers — the most gentle and elegant way to transform your smile.
What are non-prep veneers?
Non-prep veneers are ultra-thin shells of ceramic that are bonded directly to the front surface of your teeth. In many articles you will find that it is without any drilling, but believe me, it is not quite truth. There is almost always need for some minor touching of the toot. Otherwise, we couldn`t mechanically place non prep veneer on the tooth.
Yes, traditional veneers often require some minimal shaving or reshaping the tooth. And non-prep veneers are designed to fit perfectly over your natural teeth with minimal or zero preparation.
Usually they say that anesthesia is not necessary for making non prep veneers, but it is also very individual. In most cases we don`t apply it, but sometimes we have to.
At least there is something good about non prep veneers – there won`t be any pain while producing them. 😊
Can I take off non prep veneers if I want?
Eh, I came across marketing texts that smile with non prep veneers is reversible, meaning if you take them off, you will get your teeth as before. I must disappoint you, that is completely nonsense!
Non prep veneers, just as usual veneers are chemically bonded on the teeth and therefore make inseparable whole with the tooth. It can`t be removed without teeth damage! And after the non prep veneer removal, the teeth surface is rough and unattractive and you need to place another veneer.
So who are non prep veneers for?
Non prep veneers can be made only if the natural teeth are too small, like we had the situation here on the photo.
Our patient was unsatisfied with the size of his natural teeth according to his face and he wanted to improve the smile with the non prep veneers. So we made them, but not actually completely non prep, we had to reshape his teeth a little bit.
And voila! Here`s the smile he wanted!
I know all the patients would like to have non prep veneers and not to touch their own teeth. But if your teeth are not small, adding even thin shell would make you look toothy. And if your natural teeth are too dark, it will be visible through thin shell.

They’re sometimes called “contact lens veneers” because they’re as thin as a contact lens — yet strong enough to last for many years.

However, non-prep veneers aren’t suitable for everyone.
If your teeth are severely misaligned, heavily damaged, or have large old fillings, you still can have Hollywood smile. But in that case we will probably do usual porcelain veneers or even crowns.
Don`t be afraid for the final aesthetic outcome, it depends only on our dedicated work which is on high level.
That’s why a professional smile assessment is always the first step — so we can determine what kind of dental treatment we can do in your case.
The art and science behind non-prep veneers
Designing and placing non-prep veneers is both an art and a science. Because there’s only small or none reduction, every fraction of a millimeter counts.
Here’s how we do it:
- Smile design consultation
Everything begins with a conversation. We listen to your goals, analyze your facial features, and discuss what kind of smile you’d love to have — natural, glamorous, or something in between. - Digital smile preview
Using digital imaging and 3D design technology, we can preview your new smile before any treatment begins. You’ll see how veneers will enhance your overall look — and we’ll make adjustments together until it’s perfect. - 3D scan
We take a digital scan of your teeth to capture every detail accurately — no messy impressions! - Crafting the veneers
Your veneers are handcrafted by using high-quality ceramic, usually lithium disilicate porcelain. This material mimics the natural translucency and light reflection of real enamel. - Bonding day (the big reveal!)
Once your veneers are ready, we try them in, make final refinements, and permanently bond them using a strong, light-cured adhesive.
You walk out with your new smile — instantly transformed, no pain, no downtime. And how long non prep veneers last?
You are probably wondering how long you can wear these non-prep veneers. Well, there is no specific shelf life, nor do they have to be changed after a certain number of years.
With proper care, non-prep veneers can last 10–15 years or even longer.
How should I maintain non prep veneers?
They’re incredibly strong — but like natural teeth, they need gentle care.
Brush and floss daily, visit your dentist for regular checkups, and avoid biting hard objects like ice or pens.
And yes, you can eat normally! Veneers bond so strongly that you’ll soon forget they’re even there.
