No Prep Veneers Melbourne

Same day dental veneers in Melbourne

Have you been considering veneers but don't like the thought of your teeth being filed to stumps? Then, let us introduce you to no-prep veneers! The innovative design lets us attach veneers directly to your teeth without any prep work, protecting your teeth enamel and allowing you to enjoy a straighter and whiter smile.

No prep veneers are easy to install and will last for years, plus we can install them in one session, making them one of the quickest dental procedures available. We have detailed everything you need to know about no-prep veneers below to help you decide if it's the right treatment for you.

No-Prep Veneers Treatment at our Melbourne CBD Clinic

No prep veneers are a thin material that can be applied directly to your teeth, eliminating the need for any prep work. There are a few choices on the market currently:

Lumineers

Lumineer is one of the most well-known options manufactured by DenMat. These are extremely thin and look very natural on your teeth, making them a good choice if you don't want to look like you have veneers.

DURAthin veneers

DURAthin veneers are designed to be very thin and easy to install. They are made with thin, translucent layers of porcelain, increasing their durability without altering the colour of your teeth. These veneers can be bonded straight to your teeth without grinding or shaving them.

Vivaneers

Vivaneers are another popular choice, designed to be very strong without taking up additional space in your mouth. They are 0.33mm thick, so you are unlikely to notice a difference to the feeling of your teeth or feel like there is less space in your mouth.

Porcelain vs. No-Prep Veneers

There are a few key differences between porcelain and no-prep veneers, mainly their prep time, durability, and cost. We have outlined these differences below to help you see which is better for you.

Porcelain veneers take longer to install

No-prep veneers are installed instantly, without any prep work to your teeth, whereas porcelain veneers require separate appointments and more prep work. Your teeth are filed down extensively, and you must wear temporary veneers before fitting your porcelain veneers. You don't have any of this with no prep veneers, as these can fitted without filing or the need for temporary veneers.

Porcelain veneers are more expensive

Porcelain veneers cost between $1,200 and $3,500 per tooth, making them a more expensive option than no-prep veneers. You also need to factor in the additional cost of multiple dental appointments with porcelain veneers too.

Porcelain veneers last longer

While porcelain veneers are more expensive and take longer to be installed, they will last for ten years, providing you with more wear than no-prep veneers. You might find that your porcelain veneers last longer, too, especially if you care for them properly. In contrast, no-prep veneers can last for five to seven years, although Lumineers claim theirs can last for up to twenty years.

No-Prep Veneers Treatment Process & How It Works

No prep veneers are bonded to your teeth quickly, with very little prep work. Many patients are able to have tier veneers fitted the same day as their consultation, allowing you to transform your smile without returning for multiple appointments. We have outlined the treatment process below.

Step 1: Consultation & Smile Assessment

We begin with a consultation to discuss your smile goals and examine your teeth to ensure you are a good fit for no-prep veneers. During the consultation, we will take impressions of your teeth and use them to create our veneers. Depending on how quickly this is, you might have your veneers the same day or need to return. We will make this clear during your consultation, along with providing an accurate cost and your payment options.

Step 2: No-Prep Veneer Placement

When your veneers are ready, they can be bonded instantly. Your dentist might need to lightly score or etch the surface of your teeth before doing so. This is not like the filing your teeth would have for porcelain veneers, although it can be a little uncomfortable. Local anesthetic can be offered to numb the area if we need to score your teeth. When the surface is ready, your veneers can be bonded to your teeth.

Step 3: Post-Treatment Care

After your no-prep veneers are installed, little aftercare is involved. We recommend that you return for regular dental check ups to ensure good oral health and that the veneers are functioning correctly and not causing you any pain.

We recommend brushing and flossing your teeth daily to ensure good oral hygiene. It's best to use non-abrasive toothpaste and avoid hard-bristled toothbrushes, as these can scratch the smooth surface of your veneer. While this does not overly affect their performance, it will impact their appearance and can reduce their lifespan.

How Much Do No-Prep Veneers in Melbourne Cost?

Depending on your no-prep veneer brand, you can spend between $800 and $2,000 per tooth. This makes no prep veneers more expensive than composite veneers, but it is still a cheaper option than porcelain veneers.

When purchasing your new veneers, we have several payment options you can choose from, allowing you to spread the cost and bring you closer to your dream smile. Speak to one of our dentists during your consultation for the exact cost of your no-prep veneers and the payment plans available to you.

Am I a Candidate for No-Prep Veneers?

No prep veneers are a good choice for many people, especially if you want a cheaper alternative to porcelain veneers. Generally, we recommend no prep veneers if you have healthy teeth and are concerned with rectifying cosmetic issues like:

  • Tooth discoloration

  • Moderate spacing or sizing issues

  • Mildly chipped or broken teeth

  • Enhance the size of small teeth

No prep veneers work best on already straight teeth, as your teeth are not filed before they are placed. You should have good oral health and plenty of enamel for the veneer to bond onto. During your consultation, we will discuss whether no-prep veneers are the right choice for you and make alternative suggestions where needed.

No-Prep Veneers FAQs

What are no-prep veneers?

No-prep veneers are veneers that can be added to your teeth with no preparation, making them a quick way to transform your smile. They are typically made from ultra-thin porcelain composite that can be placed over your natural teeth without extensive filing, like with other veneers.

No-prep veneers are classed as removable, as your teeth aren't altered before being placed over them, meaning you can remove them if you want to try a different dental procedure or your natural teeth require filing or other dental work.

Are prep-less veneers worth it?

No prep veneers can be an excellent choice if you want to transform your smile quickly without extensive prep work. While they don't last as long as porcelain or composite veneers, they are an excellent choice for repairing minor chips in your teeth. For more extensive work or when your teeth are damaged, prepless veneers aren't always worth it, as they won't address all of your issues, and traditional veneers would be the better option. You can speak to one of our dentists during your consultation to find the best veneer option for your smile.

Are veneers painful?

No, veneers shouldn't be painful. Most patients actually report that the entire experience is comfortable and without discomfort, so you can rest assured knowing that we'll look after you from start to finish of your procedure.

How long do no prep veneers last?

Typically, no prep veneers can last for five to seven years. Despite being very thin, they are too bust and you can use your teeth normally without worrying about them falling off. When your no-prep veneers do need to be replaced, you can choose to replace them or leave them off. As your teeth have not been filed, there is no need to replace them if you don't want to.
