Prepless Veneers Raleigh
A Reversible Way to Transform Your Smile
Transforming your smile with veneers can be an exciting decision, especially after seeing countless images of satisfied patients. However, if you are feeling apprehensive about the idea of having a small bit of tooth enamel removed, you may wonder if they’re the right decision. Fortunately, there is an alternative solution – one that is completely reversible – prepless veneers in Raleigh. At Connection Dentistry, our team can deliver the same lifelike, natural-looking results but without modifying your current smile. Call us today to find out if this method of cosmetic treatment is right for you!
What are Prepless Veneers?
Traditional veneers are thin, but they require natural tooth enamel to be removed for placement. Prepless veneers, however, are ultra-thin, which makes them lay flat when applied to the surfaces of teeth. Their material allows for natural-looking results but requires little or no elimination of existing tooth structure, so they are fully reversible.
Depending on your needs and goals, you can expect Dr. Rensch or Dr. Laster to go over your options with you during your initial consultation.
The Process of Getting Prepless Veneers
When preparing to receive prepless or no-prep veneers, the process requires several steps:
- You will meet with Dr. Rensch or Dr. Laster to create a personalized treatment plan that targets the imperfections you want to hide as well as design a new and improved appearance.
- If modifications of your tooth enamel are required, this will happen at this time. The removal process will be minimal so that the process can still be reversible in the future.
- Our team will capture impressions of your teeth so that lab technicians can have the most accurate model when fabricating your new veneers.
- The process of creating your prepless veneers will begin with technicians using the model and specifications to craft your new smile. While waiting for them to be created, you will likely wear temporary veneers so that you can get used to what life will be like once your final ones are in place.
- When your prepless veneers are ready, you will return to our dental office in Raleigh to have your temporaries removed and your new ones attached to the surfaces of your teeth.

Prepless Veneers FAQs
Can Prepless Veneers Stain?
Your prepless veneers will be designed with incredibly stain-resistant materials, so you shouldn’t worry about discoloring them any time soon. Just make certain that you maintain great oral hygiene, as consuming dark-pigmented foods and drinks too often can still stain your smile after a while. Enjoy beverages like soda and coffee in moderation so you can make the most of your pearly whites.
How Do I Care for My Prepless Veneers?
These cosmetic layers are designed to work like natural teeth, so you’ll simply need to care for them the same way as before. Remember to brush, floss, and rinse with mouthwash every day to maintain them. Don’t forget to also visit your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings. Not only are these visits important for monitoring your gums and mouth, but our team can also give you tips on how to keep your prepless veneers lasting as long as possible.
Can I Eat Normally with Prepless Veneers?
Due to their natural-looking and -functioning results, you’ll be able to enjoy most of your favorite foods with your prepless veneers. Your results will be incredibly durable and strong enough for you to comfortably chew a wide range of meals without any trouble. Just be sure not to chomp down on anything particularly hard, like ice cubes, as this can potentially damage your veneers as well as your normal teeth.
Do Prepless Veneers Break Easily?
As long as your prepless veneers have been constructed and placed properly by a trained professional, you shouldn’t worry about your results breaking easily. The materials we use will also come with a minimum thickness that will help prevent breakage or cracking. Our team will also create a treatment plan that involves a meticulous and precise process to ensure that your results are of optimal quality. That said, if a patient typically grinds or clenches their teeth, has a bite misalignment, or practices bad oral habits that can place excessive stress on the veneers, then they have a higher chance of damaging their results.
How Much Do Prepless Veneers Cost?
Similar to most cosmetic dental services, the price of prepless veneers will generally vary from person to person based on their unique needs. In some cases, patients may want to only have one or two veneers whereas others might choose to have six or more of them. Of course, the cost will depend on the number of layers needed to improve your smile the way you’d like. Our team will walk you through the treatment plan and discuss how much your procedure will cost along with financing options to work within your budget.
