What are Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells of porcelain or composite resin designed to fit over the front of teeth, enhancing your smile by addressing imperfections such as discoloration, chips, minor misalignment, wear, or spacing.
Porcelain Veneers:
Durable and stain-resistant, porcelain veneers mimic natural teeth with a translucent finish, ideal for significant discoloration, gaps, or chips.
Zirconium Veneers:
Made from strong ceramic, zirconium veneers offer durability and a natural look, perfect for weakened teeth or those with bruxism.
E-max Veneers:
Crafted from lithium disilicate, E-max veneers combine strength, thinness, and lifelike translucency, ideal for front teeth with minimal preparation.
Laminate Veneers:
Ultra-thin and minimally invasive, laminate veneers address minor imperfections like slight discoloration, small gaps, or misalignment.
Dental Veneers Procedure
Consultation and Planning:
During your initial appointment, the dentist evaluates your teeth, discusses your goals, and selects the best veneer type for your needs. X-rays or digital scans may be taken to aid in treatment planning.
Tooth Preparation:
A small layer of enamel is removed from the tooth surface to make space for the veneers. For ultra-thin options like laminate veneers, minimal preparation is required. Impressions or digital scans are taken to design your custom veneers.
Temporary and Permanent Veneers:
Temporary veneers protect your teeth and preview the final results while permanent ones are crafted. Once ready, the dentist ensures proper fit and alignment before permanent bonding.
Final Adjustments:
The dentist makes the final corrections on the veneers, adhering them to the tooth surface and polishing the teeth by removing the bonding material residues. This procedure often is completed within 2-7 days.
Who is Suitable for the Treatment?
Veneers are ideal for individuals who:
Have discolored or stained teeth that don’t respond to whitening treatments.
Want to fix minor imperfections such as chips, cracks, or gaps between teeth.
Have misaligned or uneven teeth and desire a more symmetrical smile
Are seeking a durable and long-lasting cosmetic solution.
