3DVNR™
The no shot, no drill smile enhancement
Developed by aesthetic dentist Dr. Mladen Kralj, 3DVNR™ ultra-thin porcelain veneers are the conservative, comfortable, and affordable solution to enhance your smile without removing your tooth enamel
3DVNR™ are digitally designed, 3D printed, and placed in only one visit at ORA’s dental studio in downtown Chicago.
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 is 3DVNR™?
3DVNR™ are ultra-thin porcelain shells fabricated on a dental 3D printer directly from a digital scan of your teeth. At ORA, the entire digital workflow happens in-house: an iTero digital scan replaces goopy impressions, AI-assisted smile-design software by Smilefy shapes your new smile around your facial features, and the SprintRay Midas printing system fabricates the veneers on-site - precisely and quickly - then hand-finished by our ceramist.
Because 3DVNR™ veneers are no-prep veneers, your natural teeth are not drilled or ground down. No healthy enamel is removed, no anesthetic injections are needed in most cases, and there are no temporary veneers to wear while you wait on an outside laboratory — because there is no outside laboratory.
The 3DVNR™ procedure is part of Dr. Mladen Kralj's clinical approach called N.I.S.E. Method (Non-Invasive Smile Enhancement) — a conservative philosophy of enhancing your natural smile rather than replacing it.
3DVNR™ vs. Porcelain Veneers
Traditional porcelain veneers are an excellent option for many patients,but they require numbing injections, removing healthy enamel, weeks in temporaries, and multiple visits. Here is how the two approaches compare for patients in Chicago:

Why ORA is the only place in downtown Chicago to get 3DVNR™
The 3DVNR™ protocol was developed by Dr. Mladen Kralj and requires three things under one roof: a fully digital design workflow, the SprintRay Midas 3D printing system, and an in-house ceramist. ORA, Dr. Kralj’s aesthetic studio has all three components, making it the first and only dental practice in downtown Chicago capable of designing and manufacturing 3D printed “no-prep” veneers in house. The aesthetic studio itself reflects the same philosophy as the Dr. Kralj’s clinical approach: calm, considered, and quietly precise.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
3DVNR™ veneers in Chicago:
How much do 3DVNR™ “no-prep” veneers cost in Chicago?
$10,000 for 10 upper teeth at ORAesthetik — roughly half the $20,000–$25,000 typical for traditional porcelain veneers in Chicago. Monthly payment plans are available as low as $167 per month
Do 3DVNR™ “no-prep” veneers require drilling or shots?
No. No healthy enamel is drilled away, and no anesthetic injections are needed in most cases. There are no temporaries to wear either, only a “trial smile”
Is 3DVNR™ treatment really completed in only one visit?
Yes — after your consultation, smile design, and Trial Smile approval, your final veneers are printed in-house and placed in a single appointment that last between 60 minutes
How long do 3DVNR™ “no-prep” veneers last?
With regular hygiene visits and proper home care care, 3DVNR “no-prep” veneers printed hybrid porcelain veneers can last a minimum of between 10 to 12 years or more. Because they are durable, stain-resistant andrequire no removal of enamel, they can also be very easily removed, replaced and upgraded.
What is the REVEAL™ “trial smile”?
REVEAL™ is a 3D-printed wearable prototype of your exact smile design that you take home before anything permanent is made. Final veneers are only fabricated after you approve the design.
What if my teeth are crooked?
No-prep veneers can't correct significant misalignment. Dr. Kralj may recommend Invisalign first — often accelerated with OrthoPulse — which can allow thinner, more natural veneers afterward, or eliminate the need for veneers entirely.
Are 3DVNR™ reversible?
Because no enamel is removed, 3DVNR™ veneers can generally be removed without damage to the underlying tooth — unlike traditional veneers.
