Porcelain veneers are thin eggshells of porcelain that cover your natural tooth structure to give you a beautiful, custom designed, natural looking smile. Dr Kurpis, author of the award winning book, “Amazing Smiles through Cosmetic Dentistry, creates life changing smiles with both traditional and “no prep” veneer techniques. Porcelain veneers can be created in any color, shape, or size to totally change your smile. They are used to straighten, lengthen and permanently whiten teeth as well as close spaces between your teeth. Porcelain veneers are the most popular cosmetic dental procedure because they dramatically change your smile in as little as two painless visits. In addition to restoring teeth with traditional porcelain veneers, Dr Kurpis provides super strong, zirconia veneers for patients who grind their teeth or have more advanced teeth problems or want to correct crooked teeth without orthodontic treatment. He also offers “no prep” lumineers for teeth that require esthetic enhancement without actual teeth preparation. Discover which is the best porcelain veneers option for you.
Prepless or no-prep porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells of porcelain designed to enhance the appearance of teeth with minimal to no alteration of the natural tooth structure. This is the ultra holistic approach to cosmetically enhancing teeth that require improvement to either color, shape or size of teeth. Unlike traditional veneers, which often require the removal of a small amount of enamel to accommodate the veneer, prepless or no prep veneers are bonded directly to the tooth’s surface without significant if any tooth preparation.
Prepless or no prep veneers maintain the integrity of the natural teeth by eliminating the need for enamel removal, which is beneficial for long-term dental health. The procedure is considered a minimally invasive procedure. Because it is less invasive the process often requires no anesthesia, resulting in a more comfortable experience for the patient. This is a big plus for patients who suffer from dental anxiety or dental phobia. One of the main reasons why patients choose the no prep veneer procedure is because it is reversible. Since the natural tooth structure remains largely unaltered, prepless veneers can be removed if desired, offering a unique reversible cosmetic solution. However, this procedure is still considered a permanent cosmetic solution to enhance the look of teeth.
The procedure typically involves a shorter dental visit time in the dental chair compared to traditional veneers.
The thin porcelain design also allows for a natural-looking enhancement, as the veneers closely mimic the translucency and appearance of natural teeth.
It’s important to note that prepless no prep veneers may not be suitable for all cases, especially where significant tooth discoloration or misalignment is present. Teeth have to be reasonably aligned in the dental arch for this procedure to be applicable. Often, this procedure is combined with a minimally invasive orthodontic procedure of straightening mal aligned teeth with clear braces known as Invisalign. Many patients choose to move slightly crooked teeth via the Invisalign method so that they can become candidates for the no prep porcelain veneers. A thorough consultation with cosmetic dentist, Dr. Kurpis, is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment option based on individual dental conditions and aesthetic goals.
When teeth are missing, the two main options for their replacement are dental implants or fixed porcelain bridges. When dental implants are not an option, permanent porcelain bridges are the best choice. Fixed porcelain bridges and individual crowns are also a great solution for restoring worn bites caused by teeth grinding, acid erosion or advanced tooth decay. Dr Kurpis only uses zirconia for his advanced procedures. It is the strongest porcelain, offering superior esthetics and resistance to wear, chipping, and breakage over time.
