What Are No-Prep Veneers?
No-prep veneers are ultra-thin porcelain shells (as thin as 0.3mm—about the thickness of a contact lens) that bond directly to your natural teeth with little to no tooth reduction required.
Traditional veneers vs. no-prep:
- Traditional veneers require removing 0.5-1.5mm of enamel to make room for the porcelain
- No-prep veneers require minimal to zero tooth preparation, preserving your natural tooth structure
When no-prep works best:
- Minor gaps or spacing issues
- Slight tooth lengthening or reshaping
- Light-to-moderate discoloration
- Already well-aligned, healthy teeth
Why Patients in St. George Choose Ultra-Thin Veneers
The "quiet glow-up" approach is perfect for professionals, brides, and anyone who wants natural enhancement without the commitment of traditional prep.
Benefits of no-prep veneers:
- Reversible — your natural teeth remain intact
- Less sensitivity — minimal to no enamel removal means less post-treatment discomfort
- Faster process — often completed in just 2 visits
- Natural aesthetics — ultra-thin porcelain creates lifelike translucency

Are No-Prep Veneers Right for You?
Not everyone is a candidate for no-prep veneers. If you have:
- Severe tooth discoloration or damage
- Significant misalignment
- Large gaps or bite issues
...you may benefit from traditional veneers, bonding, or orthodontics first. That's where Dr. Workman's comprehensive consultation comes in—we'll recommend the right solution for your smile, not just the trendiest one.
Real Results from Real St. George Patients
"I wanted a brighter, more even smile but was terrified of damaging my teeth. Dr. Workman explained no-prep veneers to me, and I'm so glad I went that route. My smile looks natural—friends ask if I've been whitening, not if I got 'work done.' That's exactly what I wanted."
— Alyssa M., St. George
