Veneers
Only the face of
the tooth changes.
A veneer is an extremely thin ceramic shell, rather like a contact lens, permanently bonded to the front surface of the tooth. It does not change the whole tooth, only what shows when you smile or speak.
What veneers solve
- chipped or cracked teeth from small injuries
- stubborn stains and yellowing that whitening does not remove
- small gaps between the teeth
- slightly irregular or worn teeth
There are also composite veneers, shaped directly on the tooth in a single visit: quicker and more affordable, but shorter-lived, three to five years, and they can discolour over time. Which type you are a candidate for, including ultra-thin no-prep veneers in specific cases, is assessed by the doctor at the examination.
The procedure, in three steps
Step 1
Consultation and planning
The doctor examines the teeth, discusses your wishes, shape, colour and size, and takes a digital impression of your smile.
Step 2
Preparation and temporary veneers
Where needed, the surface layer of enamel is lightly prepared, less than a millimetre, completely painlessly under local anaesthesia. A precise impression goes to the laboratory, and you receive temporary shells.
Step 3
Try-in and bonding
The finished ceramic veneers are first tried on the teeth. When everything is as you want it, they are bonded with a special medical cement, and the new smile is ready.
The price, upfront
According to the practice’s current price list, per tooth. Care is simple: a brush, floss and regular check-ups, just as for natural teeth.
