no-prep veneers: What Every Patient Needs to Know First
no-prep veneers sound ideal — new smile, no drilling. But they're not right for everyone. Here's how to know if you're a candidate and what to expect.
What no-prep means
No-prep describes an additive treatment approach without planned tooth reduction. It does not identify the material or guarantee that no adjustments will be needed. Suitability depends on tooth position, shade, existing restorations, gum health and bite.
Radiant's material and package
Our current no-prep veneer package uses ceramic-filled resin printed in-house with the Midas system, not porcelain or Lumineers. Porcelain veneers are a separate treatment option.
The package covers 10 veneers on one upper or lower arch, second premolar to second premolar, for $8,000. The $499 design stage includes photos, an intraoral scan, digital design and a mock-up. That fee is credited in full toward the package if you proceed, leaving $7,501. Review the written design-fee terms and any separate treatment needs before payment.
Who may be suitable?
An additive approach may suit smaller or recessed teeth, minor chips, or selected spacing. Crowding, dark discoloration, large restorations, gum disease or heavy bite forces may make a different approach preferable. A consultation is necessary; photographs alone cannot establish candidacy.
Is it reversible?
No guarantee is made that removing bonded veneers will leave teeth unchanged. Bonding, finishing, removal and replacement can require further dental work. Discuss this commitment and alternatives before treatment.
What happens before treatment?
First, Dr. Siddiqui evaluates suitability. If you choose the paid design stage, the proposed shape and bite are reviewed with you. A mock-up helps communicate the plan, but it is not a guarantee of the final appearance or function. Your written plan confirms material, preparation, timing and fees.
Maintenance and alternatives
Longevity varies with the material, bite, habits and oral hygiene. Repairs or replacement may be needed. Discuss porcelain veneers, orthodontics, whitening or other alternatives where appropriate; resin and porcelain should not be presented as interchangeable materials.
