No-prep porcelain veneers, also known as minimal-prep veneers, are a type of dental veneer that requires little to no preparation of the natural tooth structure before application. Unlike traditional veneers, which often necessitate the removal of a thin layer of enamel to accommodate the veneer, no-prep veneers are incredibly thin, around 0.2–0.5 mm, and can be bonded directly onto the surface of the teeth with minimal alteration.
These dental veneers are typically made from high-quality porcelain, which closely mimics the appearance of natural tooth enamel. They’re custom-made to fit each patient’s teeth precisely and can effectively correct various cosmetic imperfections, including discoloration, gaps, misalignment, and minor chips or cracks.
There are several benefits to choosing no-prep dental veneers over traditional porcelain veneers, including:
Not every patient is a good candidate for prepless veneers. The ideal candidate is someone with minor cosmetic issues, such as:
Patients should have healthy teeth and gums with no underlying dental issues such as tooth decay or gum disease. They’ll also need healthy tooth structure.

If dental veneers aren’t a great match for you, our cosmetic dentist in Woodland Hills may recommend other alternatives, such as teeth whitening or dental crowns.
To achieve your dazzling smile with prepless veneers, you can expect the following:
On average, no-prep veneers range from $1,500 to $2,500 per tooth. Factors that will affect your treatment expenses include:

While no-prep porcelain veneers can address various cosmetic concerns like discoloration, minor misalignments, and gaps, they may not be suitable for all cases. Severe orthodontic issues or significant tooth damage may require alternative treatments.
Yes, you can eat normally with no-prep porcelain veneers. Prepless veneers are designed to be strong and durable, allowing you to enjoy a wide range of foods. However, avoid biting or chewing on hard objects like ice or non-food items to prevent potential damage to the veneers.
One of the most notable disadvantages of prepless veneers is that not everyone is a candidate. Those with more serious dental problems may require more extensive treatment, such as traditional veneers or dental crowns. No-prep veneers also add a little extra layer to your teeth.
