Who qualifies for no preparation veneers?
No-prep veneers are ultra-thin porcelain restorations that can be placed over your teeth without reshaping them. They are the ideal choice for individuals seeking a stunning Hollywood smile without altering the structure of their natural teeth. No-prep veneers are particularly well-suited for people with the following concerns:
- Small teeth
- Teeth inclined slightly away from their lips or cheeks
- Gaps or spaces
- Worn down teeth
- Discolored teeth
Unlike traditional veneers that involve reshaping your teeth, our no prep porcelain veneers preserve your natural tooth enamel. This is a reversible procedure that allows you to enjoy the benefits of veneers without permanently altering your teeth. It is a minimally invasive option crafted by Dr Heaton and his talented ceramists.
