Indications for ceramic veneers.

Discolouration

Stubborn discolouration that bleaching can no longer lift is permanently covered by non-prep veneers — including darkening after root-canal treatment.

Gaps in the front teeth

Diastemas and irregular spacing can be closed without orthodontic appliances. Within a week the gaps are no longer visible.

Shape and size

Front teeth that are too small, too narrow or unevenly shaped are visually balanced by the shells. A canine-dominant smile can be harmonised.

Composite fillings

Old composite fillings that have discoloured over time are replaced by durable ceramic. Minor chips on the incisal edges are stabilised.

Advantages

What sets non-prep veneers apart.

01

No grinding

100% of the healthy tooth structure is preserved. Only the surface is conditioned for bonding.

02

Pain-free

No anaesthesia required — the procedure is entirely pain-free, as no nerve endings are involved.

03

Colour stability

High-grade ceramic does not darken and does not stain from coffee, tea or tobacco.

04

Protection against sensitivity

The non-prep veneer acts as an additional protective layer that makes the tooth less sensitive to cold and heat.

The path to your new smile.

Phase One

Consultation

In the first appointment you describe your wish for change. The dental starting situation is then analysed and the realistic options are explained.

Phase Two

Impression

In the second appointment a precise impression of the teeth is taken. It serves the master laboratory as the basis for fabricating your individual veneers.

Phase Three

Bonding

In the third appointment the non-prep veneers are bonded to the teeth in a meticulous adhesive procedure — exact, secure, gentle, immediately load-bearing.

Questions & answers.

How long do non-prep veneers last?

With correct care and regular check-ups, non-prep ceramic veneers typically last 10 to 15 years, often considerably longer. Like any product they undergo daily wear, and after this span the wish for renewal can arise.

Is the treatment painful?

Non-prep veneers require no grinding of tooth structure. The procedure is therefore painless and does not require anaesthesia.

Can non-prep veneers be removed again?

Because the non-prep technique leaves the natural tooth structure untouched, removal is theoretically possible without damaging the tooth.

Do veneers discolour over time?

High-grade ceramic does not darken and does not discolour from coffee, tea or tobacco. The transitions between veneer and tooth are bonded so precisely that no visible marginal gaps form.

Veneer or bleaching?

Non-prep veneers can change the tooth colour far more decisively than bleaching. Bleaching only lightens within the tooth's natural range, and not all teeth respond equally. For deep, dark discolourations a veneer is the better option.

What do non-prep veneers cost?

Cost depends on the individual scope and the number of shells required. After the initial consultation you receive a written treatment and cost plan setting out every step and fee.
