No-Prep Veneers
No-prep porcelain veneers ( such as Lumineer ) have been around for more than two decades, and the incredible success of bonding porcelain to 100% enamel is well-documented.
Now, there are refined techniques, new and improved materials, and better training in emulating nature so that the end result of prepless veneers can rival or exceed the results of traditionally prepared veneers. Contrary to common thinking, this style of dentistry is not easy; in fact, if done well, this approach can require more skill and expertise than traditional porcelain veneers.
Case selection for “prepless” veneers is critical, and, clearly, additive-only restorations are not for every situation. The case types that may be well-suited for no-preparation veneers are:
• microdontia such as peg laterals, tooth-to-arch discrepancies, and, in general, undersized teeth.
• short, worn teeth that have lost volume due to occlusal wear, abrasion, erosion, or some combination of these factors.
• bicuspid extraction orthodontic cases where anterior teeth are overly lingualized and the arch form is narrow.
• large lips that create a big frame and allow enlargement of the teeth for proper proportion.
In recent years, a new trend has emerged that will not likely be reversed: the movement toward more conservative preparations and even no preparation for many cosmetic smile design cases. It is strongly likely that this trend is here to stay as the consumer, when given a choice, will always seek out more conservative alternatives.
