Are minimal/no prep veneers a possibility? (Photos)

Question

I truly understand the need to get a consultation in person, but I was just wondering if no prep or minimal prep veneers would be an option for someone like me? The picture on the left is of my actual teeth and the picture on the right is what I would be going for (somewhat-it was the best I could do!) I don’t like how my other teeth are smaller than my front teeth and my one front tooth is sloped. Would I be able to achieve something like on the right picture?

Minimal/no veneer preps  could be a possibility for you to achieve  your goals.  My suggestion would be to visit a good cosmetic dentist and have him do a mock up/trial smile on your four front teeth to see if he can achieve what you want. This can be done using composite resin in a short amount of time. If you like the results, the dentist can take an impression and a photograph of the mock up, remove the temporary material from your teeth, and take a  final impression of your existing teeth which the lab  can use to create your no prep /minimal prep veneers.  We have found this to be a good method to assure  that you get the results that you want.  When the veneers are returned from the lab, we would try them in and make sure that you are satisfied with the results  before we  bond them on  permanently.

hello, this is Doctor Sebastian. For sure, you can improve your teeth with porcelain veneers for two reasons that i can see in the picture: 1) you have healthy teeth and this one of the most importants things that i need to check before put no prep or minimal prep veneers.2) you have a good dental occlusion. you have to know what is the difference between veneers en Luminers, veneers is thicker, and  needs shaving down natural teeth to put them

Although I have not seen you and completed an exam on you in person, based no the photo you have provided, it seems reasonable that you would be able to have minimally prepped veneers to achieve the look that you want!  I usually don't recommend no prep veneers because they are more susceptible to breaking, but minimal prep veneers are fantastic.  I recommend that you do your research and find a dentist that is very experienced with cosmetics prior to having any treatment done!

Thank you for your question and for attaching the photos of how your smile appears and what you're looking for. Its always best to exam you in person to determine if your a candidate for the conservative no-prep veneers. However, based on your pictures, you look like an excellent candidate. I would seek out a consultation with a cosmetic dentist who has experience with these types of veneers.

You are in luck.Since your goal is to enlarge your teeth and broaden your smile this can be accomplished with minimal prep veneers. I suggest getting a consultation in person with a dentist who routinely does minimal prep veneers. You seem to have high expectations so this isn't a time to look for the best deal.
