Yes, we have been doing minimal/no prep veneers at TDL for over 30 years.  We can now do IPS e.Max for minimal and no prep veneers and have a beautiful result with a lot more strength than refractory.  They can be a great solution for patients not wanting their teeth prepped down, with a diastema to close, or as a smile enhancement option.  They cannot solve every problem, for tetracycline, dark or misaligned teeth, more reduction is required.  We can do small shade changes along with shape adjustments to create a better smile.  These veneers can be as thin as 0.3 mm thus helping to keep the veneers from being bulky.  We recommend doing a wax presentation case prior to these cases so that we can evaluate if any reduction is needed to achieve the desired results.
