Non Prep Veneers are fine flakes which are placed on teeth without prior grinding so that the process is completely pain-free. It is even free of any feeling of discomfort so that patients who have problems with visits to the dentist and decide on Non Prep Veneers can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Earlier procedures first involved the grinding down of natural teeth in order to make it easier to attach the veneer, which was uncomfortable for some patients. In addition, over-sensitivity to hot and cold occurred in a certain number of patients a few weeks after the procedure. But all these problems were eliminated with Non Prep Veneers and sophisticated technology, for no natural tooth enamel needs to be removed with Non Prep Veneers.

Fitting non prep veneers generally takes two or three dental appointments. A new smile can be obtained within three days depending on how many teeth the patient wants fitted with veneers. The process for producing non prep veneers is computer-controlled and thus more detailed, adjusted better to the individual shape and location of the patient’s jaw and also much more time-saving.

Extensive testing by the dentist and the dental technician determines whether a person can be provided with veneers or not. First, the patient’s oral health history and also the jaw’s current state of health are assessed whilst special attention is paid to the health of the gums. Before fitting non prep veneers or some other prosthetic treatment it is of decisive importance to determine whether the patient suffers from inflammation or painful, swollen and bleeding gums. This situation must first be cleared up and other kinds of intervention only considered afterwards.

Contemporary veneers which are attached to teeth are composed of a material which in no way differs from natural teeth. At the same time, they do not make the tooth thicker, and in view of the fact that their colour can be selected, provision with veneers does not necessarily mean you have to put up with a so-called Hollywood smile which looks artificial to “normal” people. Materials from which modern veneers are made are translucent and they therefore give your smile a natural look.

Veneers are generally exclusively attached to teeth which are visible; consequently, the number of veneers will depend on how wide somebody’s smile is. For some patients it could be 6 whereas for others it could be 12 teeth. Furthermore, the number of veneers also depends on the peculiarities of each of the patient’s teeth and on their personal preferences as to what they want to achieve. For example, if someone only has a mechanically damaged tooth, a veneer can be attached to just one tooth or only on the single tooth if its shape fits the remaining jawline. For some people, the number of veneers also depends on their financial situation because each veneer is invoiced individually.

In practice, it is only possible to fit a certain number of veneers, but patients often decide on more because they want to correct and adjust the colour of their upper and lower jaw and also their appearance.

If a veneer breaks, the best thing to do is to gather up all the loose pieces and contact your White Lux team immediately. You should not under any circumstances attempt to push back or stick on the veneer. In most cases, the dentist and dental technician are able to repair damage which has occurred to the existing veneer. If this is not possible, a new veneer is made and attached.
