3D Printed Veneers
Chicago's Most Advanced Smile
Developed by Dr. Mladen Kralj, the 3DVNR™ protocol delivers a subtle, natural “no-prep” smile makeover in a single visit — no drilling, no shots, no waiting. 3D designed, 3D printed, and placed in our in-house lab the same day.
Revolutionary 3D printing technology
ORA is the only dental practice in downtown Chicago with an in-house lab using the SprintRay 3D printing system, delivering truly same-day 3D printed “no-prep” veneers - no lab, no wait.
THE 3DVNR™ PROTOCOL
What Are 3D Printed Veneers?
3D printed veneers - branded as 3DVNR™ at ORA - represent the most significant advancement in cosmetic dentistry in a generation. Ultra-thin shells of high-quality hybrid porcelain are digitally designed using AI powered smile design software and fabricated with precision 3D printing technology, then bonded directly to your natural teeth.
Unlike traditional porcelain veneers — which require grinding down your healthy enamel, multiple appointments, weeks of temporaries, and cost on average about $25,000 or more — in many cases 3D printed veneers require no preparation whatsoever due to its ultra-thin design . Your teeth stay intact. Your results are immediate. Your investment is over half the cost.
For patients seeking a one visit smile enhancement in Chicago, no-prep veneers, or an affordable alternative to traditional cosmetic dentistry, 3DVNR™ is the definitive answer.
✦ 100% Digital Workflow
From your first 3D scan to your finished smile, every step is digital — no physical impressions, no plaster models, no guesswork.
✦ In-House SprintRay Midas Printing
Your veneers are printed on-site in our in-house lab — the only practice in downtown Chicago with this capability. No lab courier. No 10-day wait.
✦ No Prep. No Drilling. No Anesthesia.
The 3DVNR protocol is completely reversible. Your natural tooth structure is fully preserved — unlike any traditional veneer procedure.
✦ Trial Smile Before You Commit
A 3D-printed trial smile known as REVEAL™ is placed at your appointment so you can preview your results before the final veneers are bonded.
WHY 3DVNR™ EXISTS
Cosmetic Dentistry Needed a Middle Lane
For decades, patients had only two restorative material choices: resin veneers (composite bonding) that chips and stains, or traditional porcelain veneers that requires the removal of healthy enamel. As an innovative hybrid porcelain material 3DVNR™ was designed to fill the gap between them.
THE PROBLEM WITH
Resin Veneers
Chips, stains, and requires frequent repairs. A short-term solution that needs to be redone every few years, not a lasting smile investment.
3DVNR™ AT ORA
3D Printed Veneers
Strong, beautiful, and reversible. Digital precision without the permanence — beauty without the sacrifice at an affordable price.
THE PROBLEM WITH
Porcelain Veneers
Permanently removes healthy enamel, irreversible commitment. Labor intensive, requires multiple appointments, expensive.
01
3D SCAN
Scan Your Smile
Your consultation begins with a series of photos and a precise 3D digital scan using the iTero intraoral scanner — no messy impressions, no discomfort. The scan captures every surface of your teeth in minutes, creating the digital foundation for your custom veneers.
The iTero scan also enables instant digital measurements, ensuring your veneers are engineered for a perfect, natural fit before a single veneer is printed.
HOW IT WORKS

A 3D-printed REVEAL™ “trial smile” is fabricated and placed in your mouth so you can experience and approve your results in real time. Adjustments are made digitally until you love what you see.

AM I A CANDIDATE?
Who Are 3D Printed Veneers Right For?
3DVNR™ is ideal for those seeking a conservative and natural enhancement — not everyone is a candidate, and that's a conversation we take seriously.
Ideal Candidates
Minor to moderate chipping or tooth wear
Small gaps, spacing between front teeth
Slightly uneven, misaligned teeth - no major bite issues
Mild discoloration, staining that whitening can’t resolve
Improve tooth size and/or shape - ie. small teeth
Patients replacing old composite veneers or bonding
Healthy gums and no active tooth decay
Patients who want a reversible, conservative option
Those desiring a subtle natural enhancement — not a dramatic transformation
Better Served Traditional Veneers or Crowns
Deep, severe discoloration or dark staining, like from tetracycline
Large existing fillings and/or crowns on front teeth
Significant tooth misalignment - Invisalign typically recommended first
Structurally compromised teeth requiring crowns, severe chipping or wear
Patients expecting a dramatic, high-contrast “Hollywood smile” type transformation
History of teeth grinding/clenching (bruxism) without a nightguard in place
Not sure if you're a candidate? Our complimentary 3DVNR ™ consultation includes a full smile assessment and honest recommendation — even if that recommendation is a different treatment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything You Need to Know About 3D Printed Veneers in Chicago
How much do 3D printed veneers cost in Chicago?
ORA's 3DVNR™ protocol starts at $10,000 for a full set of 10 upper teeth - approximately 50–60% less than traditional porcelain veneers, which typically range from $20,000 to $30,000 or more at Chicago practices. The reduced cost reflects the efficiency of our fully digital, in-house workflow: no lab fees, less chair time, and no multi-visit overhead.
Can I really get 3D printed veneers in one day in Chicago?
Yes — and ORA is the only practice in downtown Chicago that can deliver this. Our in-house SprintRay Midas 3D printer means your veneers are fabricated on-site while you're with us. There's no lab courier, no 10-day turnaround, no second appointment. Scan, design, print, place — same day.
Are 3D printed veneers really no-prep? What does that mean?
"No-prep" or "prepless" means your natural tooth enamel is not removed. Traditional porcelain veneers require permanently grinding down your teeth before veneers can be placed — a process that cannot be undone. 3DVNR™ veneers bond directly to your existing tooth surface with no drilling, no anesthesia, and no permanent alteration to your natural teeth.
How long do 3D printed veneers last?
With proper care, 3D printed hybrid porcelain veneers can last a minimum of 10 to 12 years or more, comparable to composite veneers and bonding. They are durable and stain-resistant. Because they require no enamel removal, they can also be replaced or upgraded when needed without any impact on your underlying teeth.
What is the difference between 3DVNR at ORA and Neer veneers?
Both use 3D printed no-prep veneers — but the key difference is where and how they're made. Neer sends cases to an outside lab in California, which takes approximately 10 days and requires a second appointment. ORA prints your veneers in-house with the SprintRay Midas system, delivering a true same-day result with no lab wait. ORA also includes an AI-driven facial design with Smilefy and a 3D-printed trial smile called REVEAL™ at every case.
Which ORA location offers 3D printed veneers in Chicago?
The 3DVNR™ protocol is currently available only by Dr. Mladen Kralj at ORA's Gold Coast location at 700 N State Street.. Book a complimentary consultation to begin your smile assessment.
