Are you looking for a smile solution that is easy, painless, and can last for years?
Prepless veneers can provide a smile makeover in as little time as a single visit with Dr. Lazer or Dr. Doroshenko in our Baltimore dentist office.
Dental veneers are often the perfect treatment choice for teeth that are damaged, discolored, misshapen or have gaps between them. Prepless veneers are ultra-thin shells of quality ceramic material that are highly durable. They are placed without needing to remove tooth structure and can last for years with good oral hygiene and dental care.
Prepless Veneers in Baltimore, MD
As a smile makeover solution, prepless veneers can offer key benefits when compared to alternative treatment options. These include:
- Painless treatment: placing prepless veneers does not require the use of anesthesia, and there is often no need for any numbing agent. Patients with sensitive teeth or gums can be numbed, but most patients experience no discomfort during the process.
- No tooth preparation: there is no need to etch or prep teeth for placing prepless veneers. This not only minimizes discomfort, it reduces the number of office visits.
- Removable restoration: prepless veneers are removable. This means that if you change your mind about the appearance of your smile, the veneers can be taken off. If you choose to place more permanent and durable porcelain veneers later, the prepless veneers are easily removed.
- Lasting smile makeover: with good daily oral hygiene and routine dental care, your new smile can last for up to 10 years- or more!
- Prepless Veneers: about the process.
The process for placing prepless veneers starts with a consultation with Dr. Lazer or Dr. Doroshenko. During a consultation, we will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and explore treatment options. We want your results to be healthy, stable, and lasting. If there are any underlying concerns that could affect your results, we will offer recommendations to address them as part of your treatment plan. Common concerns like gum disease and tooth decay should be resolved before placing dental veneers.
We will also color-match your teeth and take dental impressions during the consultation visit.
Once the veneers are ready, we will schedule a visit to place them. During placement, we will clean the tooth surface, and Dr. Lazer or Dr. Doroshenko may lightly etch the surface for proper adhesion. We then place a special dental adhesive and cure the new veneer with a handheld light. The entire process is quick and painless. You can walk out with a beautiful new smile!
Prepless Veneers FAQs
Am I a candidate for prepless veneers?
During your initial consultation, our dental care team will determine if prep-less veneers are the right treatment choice for your needs. We also offer alternative treatment options, including porcelain veneers or dental crowns.
What is the cost for placing prepless veneers?
Treatment cost depends on the number of veneers being placed and the need for any additional dental care. We will discuss the cost of treatment during your consultation.
How do prepless veneers differ from traditional veneers in terms of tooth preparation?
Traditional veneers usually require shaving off a thin layer of enamel to fit properly. Prepless veneers skip that step, allowing them to sit on the existing tooth surface without invasive trimming. This approach preserves healthy enamel while still achieving a refreshed appearance. Patients often appreciate the gentler process.
Can prepless veneers handle the same chewing forces as conventional veneers?
When bonded correctly, high-quality prepless veneers often stand up well to normal biting and chewing. They rely on strong bonding agents and durable materials that can resist everyday stresses. Though not indestructible, they typically hold their ground against the same foods you’d bite into with natural teeth. Good oral hygiene and careful habits help maintain their strength.
Do prepless veneers stain over time, and how can I keep them looking bright?
They resist staining better than natural enamel but are not immune. Limiting dark beverages, brushing after meals, and visiting your dentist for routine cleanings help maintain their brightness. If minor discoloration appears, a gentle polish by your dental professional can often restore a vibrant look. Caring for them as recommended keeps them looking fresh.
Do you offer financing for treatment plans?
Yes, we offer financing with several third-party lenders. Qualified patients can set up monthly payments that suit their budget.
