Everything About Non-Prep Lumineers
Find all the detailed information you need about the treatment in this section.
What is Non-Prep Lumineers?
Non-prep veneers (Lumineers) are ultra-thin porcelain veneers that do not require tooth preparation unlike traditional laminate veneers. These special porcelains, only 0.2-0.3 mm thick, are bonded directly onto the natural tooth.
Known by the Lumineers brand, this technique is an ideal solution for correcting tooth color, shape, and minor position irregularities. The procedure is reversible - veneers can be removed if needed and teeth return to their original state.
Treatment Stages

Impression Taking
Precise impression is taken with digital scanning or silicone impression.
Laboratory
Ultra-thin porcelains are custom-made in laboratory (7-10 days).
Try-in
Veneers are tried on teeth, color and fit are checked.
Bonding
Veneers are permanently bonded to teeth with special adhesive cement.
