What It Is

Minimal‑Prep Veneers

Minimal-prep veneers involve a small, conservative amount of tooth reshaping to create a seamless fit and a refined final look. They sit between no‑prep veneers and traditional veneers, offering a natural result while still preserving most of your enamel.

For many clients, a touch of minimal preparation is what allows a veneer to seat perfectly, feel comfortable, and blend naturally with the surrounding teeth. Dr. Laleh recommends this approach only when it genuinely improves the outcome.
