A common cosmetic dental procedure is the placement of veneers. Recently new “prepless” veneers have become more mainstream. Prepless veneers are custom-made, ultra-thin shells used to cover the surface of your teeth. Dental veneers can be used to cover worn, chipped, or cracked teeth, and can even be used to improve the appearance of your teeth alignment. Lumineers are a very popular prepless veneer in today’s marketplace. Dr. Hovden has chosen to use other prepless porcelains whose aesthetics and durability surpass Lumineers. Unlike traditional dental veneers, prepless veneers do not require removing healthy tooth enamel to provide room for veneers. Patients get a bright smile with custom-shaped teeth that look and feel natural with a less invasive procedure.
Prepless veneers can quickly improve the appearance of your smile and do not succumb to decay. They are also difficult to stain.
Your dental professional will work with you and answer any questions you have about placing prepless veneers. Because your prepless veneers will be custom-made to fit your unique smile, a series of cosmetic dental appointments will be needed to ensure a perfect fit and to match the color with the rest of your teeth.
After the prepless veneers have been permanently placed, they will look and feel just like your natural teeth. You will be able to eat the same foods and use your teeth just as you did before the procedure. Maintain good oral hygiene and tooth care, including brushing and flossing, to keep your prepless veneers and your smile looking their best.
