Improving your smile doesn’t always require big changes. Our minimal-prep veneers are a great option for a brighter, whiter smile that can last you up to twenty years but requires no anaesthetic and minimal invasion.

Create your dream smile in as little as one appointment!

Unlike traditional porcelain veneers, our range of no-prep composite veneers can usually be applied in just one appointment and are great for those with smaller teeth, minor gaps, or discolouration – allowing you to get your dream smile in a matter of hours!

And the best bit? With this type of veneer, if you’re not happy with the results or feel like a change, the process can be reversed – though we’re confident you’ll love your new smile.

We offer a range of no-prep veneers in order to give you the best results. From ultra-thin to slightly thicker options to cater to a range of needs, our no-prep veneers can give you the confidence to smile.

Whether you struggle with uneven teeth through grinding or small gaps between the teeth, minimal-prep veneers could be the ideal solution.

Similar to traditional veneers, no-prep veneers are fitted onto the tooth’s surface to enhance the aesthetic of teeth. Although, when it comes to fitting no-prep veneers, the process is much easier – and faster – than traditional veneers. This is because, the majority of times, the process is non-invasive and does not require any massive changes or shaving of the natural teeth – so there’s no need to anaesthetise the mouth.

No-prep veneers can be placed directly onto the teeth without temporary veneers, although these are occasionally used to showcase what teeth will look like before the cementing process begins.

If you choose a temporary restoration, the treatment will take place over two appointments. If you opt to have them applied straight away, this may only require one session.

Is the no-prep veneering process painful?

No! This is a completely pain-free process.

As no modifications are made to the teeth, you should feel no sensitivity or pain during or after the procedure. So you can get back to your normal routine straight away.

 – No-prep veneers vs composite bonding

No prep veneers and composite bonding both offer an effective, attractive, and natural-looking solution for masking minor smile concerns, such as small chips, gaps, or short teeth.

Similar in regard to their longevity and convenience, results can be seen after just one appointment with no-prep veneers. However, for composite bonding, the dentist requires a good amount of the natural tooth to be intact in order to be able to build the layers of composite bonding over the surface.

Price-wise, they are also comparable. The only real difference here is that bonds can be used to target small areas of the tooth, whereas a veneer will cover the entire surface. Bondings are also super easy to repair – a no-prep veneer would need replacing, but this too is a straightforward and speedy process.

 – No-prep veneers vs porcelain veneers

When it comes to no-prep veneer and porcelain veneers, the biggest difference is the level of tooth preparation required.

With porcelain veneers, your dentist will need to remove a small amount of enamel so that the veneer can bond properly to the surface. This means several things – firstly that teeth will be more sensitive, secondly that the procedure will take longer, and lastly, that it will cost more.

Admittedly, the results for porcelain veneers are usually worth it, and for some people this may be the only viable option, but it’s important to assess all these factors fully when making your decision. At double the cost of no-prep veneer treatment, it’s important to think carefully about your options.

• Quick to fit – all it takes is one appointment to transform your smile!
• Cheaper – no-prep veneers are substantially cheaper than traditional veneers (which are around double the price). Visit our fees page for further details.
• Long lasting – with good oral care you can expect your no-prep veneers to last for up to 20 years.
• Pain-free – no shaving or modifications to the natural tooth are required to fit no-prep veneers, so you shouldn’t experience any pain or sensitivity – just a great looking smile!
• Reversible – not only do you benefit from a painless procedure, but the fact that no tooth enamel is removed means that this type of veneer is completely reversible. So should you ever wish to remove the veneer and revert to your original tooth, you can!

When it comes to the downsides of opting for no-prep veneers, there are very few.

The most important point to acknowledge is that whilst many of our patients favour this type of treatment for being ultra-thin and natural looking, this does prevent them from offering the same level of coverage enjoyed with porcelain veneers. Meaning that, if you suffer from very dark or heavy staining, they may not provide the level of coverage you’re looking for.
