No-prep veneers — the veneer that keeps your enamel and your options.
Ultra-thin porcelain added with little to no tooth reduction — a beautiful result for the right candidate, and an honest ‘no’ when it isn't.
Are no-prep veneers right for you?
No-prep veneers are ultra-thin porcelain shells added to teeth with little to no enamel removal — currently $1,700 per tooth (regularly $2,200) at Lush Dental Studio in Sacramento, designed in our in-house lab. Because little to no tooth structure is removed, your natural tooth is largely preserved — but no-prep is a clinical decision, not a menu item. It works beautifully for appropriately selected cases and poorly for others, and we'll tell you honestly which you are.
No-prep, minimal-prep, or conventional.
| Approach | Enamel removed | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| No-prep | Little to none | Smaller or worn teeth, gaps/spacing to fill, good enamel |
| Minimal-prep | A whisper (<0.3 mm) | A flusher fit where a touch of contouring helps |
| Conventional | ~0.3–0.5 mm | Thicker cases — heavy discoloration, larger shape changes |
Which one fits is decided against your actual teeth, not from a menu. Compare with standard porcelain veneers or the full cost guide.
Who it's for — and who it isn't.
| Strong candidates | Usually not no-prep |
|---|---|
| Smaller or slightly worn teeth | Teeth that protrude or are pushed forward |
| Gaps or spacing to fill | Crowding that adds bulk if simply covered |
| Good, healthy enamel | Dark tetracycline staining that shows through thin porcelain |
Reversibility, stated carefully. Because little to no enamel is removed, your natural tooth is largely preserved — but “largely preserved” is not the same as “risk-free” or “guaranteed reversible.” Any practice promising completely reversible, zero-downside veneers is overselling. Removal or replacement still has to be done carefully, and we'll walk you through the trade-offs before anything is bonded.
"At 0.3 millimeters there's no room for error and no room for bulk — which is exactly why we design and fabricate no-prep cases in our own lab, where we control thickness and contour directly."— Lush Dental Studio, Natomas · Sacramento
Comfortable by nature.
Case selection with Dr. Khan
The first appointment is candidacy, not a hard sell. If no-prep won't give you a result you'll be happy with, we'll say so and show you the alternative.
Often no anesthetic, usually no temporaries
Because the tooth underneath isn't reduced, placement is typically comfortable and skips the temporary stage that conventional veneers require.
Designed thin, finished in-house
Ultra-thin porcelain, layered and contoured in our lab, tried in and adjusted with you in the chair before final bonding.
