Comparative Study of No-Prep, Laser Removal and Minimal-Prep Veneers on the Same Patient

February 15, 2016

There seems to be an ongoing controversy in the world of esthetic dentistry as to whether prepped or no-prep veneers are the better restoration. In an attempt to find the answer, we compare the esthetic results achieved with both types of veneers. This fascinating case highlights the sometimes-subtle differences between these two veneer modalities. This video presents a patient willing to have no-prep veneers placed and removed with a laser, and then have minimal-prep veneers placed, offering a unique opportunity to compare the two side by side. The two techniques are then compared and discussed in detail using the "after" photos from each procedure.
