There are several types of NYC porcelain veneers. What many people want to know, though, is whether they’re a good candidate for prepless veneers, eager to transform their smile without significantly altering their natural teeth. Here are just some of the factors that might make prepless veneers right for you.
1. Your Teeth Are Healthy
To be a candidate for any type of cosmetic dentistry, your mouth must be completely healthy. That means no gum disease, no tooth infections, no tooth decay, and no teeth grinding. If you do have any of these problems, you aren’t eliminated from a smile makeover with prepless veneers, but you are on pause. Your teeth will need to be treated accordingly to get your smile to a healthy, strong place so it can handle the placement of any type of porcelain veneer.
2. You Want a Bigger Smile
Because prepless veneers do not require the removal of tooth enamel to make room for the super-thin porcelain shields, the veneers will be placed on top of your smile as it is. This change adds volume to your teeth, plumps out lips, minimizes wrinkles around the mouth, and delivers a big, broad, beautiful smile.
3. You Have Dental Anxiety
For the many patients who wish for a smile makeover but cannot envision themselves undergoing the traditional prep for conventional porcelain veneers, the prepless veneer solution can give them what they want without worry. Dental anxiety is a very real experience and when a patient discovers they can transform their smile without drills or shots, that concern can fade. Sedation dentistry and calming measures will help you achieve what you want without stress.
4. You Might Want to Reverse the Treatment Later
Now, let’s be honest – most people who get veneers of any sort are so thrilled by the results that they can’t imagine a present or future without their new smile. There are some patients, though, who like to know they have the option of changing their teeth in the future and removing the veneers that have altered them so dramatically. If you want this bit of insurance, prepless veneers deliver since they do not alter your natural teeth in any way during the application of the porcelain shields.
5. You Appreciate Fine Art

Wei is a practiced perfectionist who carefully designs the entire look and size of your veneers, from color to shape to translucency.
