title: Low-risk dentistry using additive-only ("no-prep") porcelain veneers.
abstract: "No-prep" porcelain veneers have been effectively in use for more than two decades, and the bonding of porcelain to 100% enamel has enjoyed extraordinary success. Today's refined techniques, new and improved materials, and better training in emulating nature have enabled additive-only veneers to rival, or in some cases even exceed, the results of traditionally prepared veneers. In this case presentation, the author uses conservative, additive-only dentistry to enhance a young woman's smile by creating improved anterior esthetics.
