Veneer
Dental veneers are custom-made shells that fit over the front surfaces of your teeth. They conceal cracks, chips, stains and other cosmetic imperfections. Veneers are one of the most common cosmetic dentistry treatments. There are several types of veneers available, depending on your specific goals.
What are veneers?
Veneers are coverings that fit over the front surfaces of your teeth. Technicians use high-quality dental materials, like tooth-colored composite or porcelain, to create them. Dental veneers are cosmetic in nature. They can conceal a wide range of aesthetic imperfections, including chips, cracks, gaps, tooth discoloration and more.
Who needs dental veneers?
Anyone who wants to enhance the appearance of their smile can explore veneers. These dental restorations can camouflage:
- Adults who wish to have luxury bright and straight teeth (Hollywood Smile)
- Chipped or broken teeth.
- Diastema (gaps or spaces in your smile).
- Stained teeth
- Teeth that are too small.
- Misshapen teeth.
It’s important to note that veneers are only an option if you’re free of extensive cavities and gum disease. If you have serious oral health issues, you should address those first before exploring cosmetic treatments.
Veneers vs crowns: What’s the difference?
A porcelain veneer only covers the front surface of a tooth to enhance its appearance. A dental crown, on the other hand, covers the entire tooth structure to add strength and protection.
Dental veneers are a cosmetic treatment. In other words, they improve your smile, but they don’t necessarily strengthen or repair your teeth. While dental crowns can also improve the appearance of your teeth, their main purpose is to restore teeth that are badly damaged by decay or trauma.
Are there different types of veneers?
Yes. There are a few different types of veneers, including composite veneers, porcelain veneers, no-prep veneers, and removable veneers.
No-prep veneers (our Signature)
More than 10,000 recorded cases achived in VIP Dental Clinic.
No-prep or minimal-prep veneers are a less invasive option. Like traditional porcelain veneers, no-prep veneers are custom-made for your smile. However, they require NO or MINIMAL enamel removal unlike traditional veneers.
It’s important to understand that no-prep veneers may still require some enamel removal some time to achive optimal results.
No-prep veneers aren’t right for everyone. Ask us if you’re a right candidate
Composite veneers
Composite veneers can conceal mild cosmetic issues. Your dentist uses a tooth-colored composite resin — the same material used for dental bonding — to achieve the desired results. Recomended for very few cases only .
Porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers can address a number of aesthetic imperfections. These restorations are custom-made to fit your dental anatomy. Before placement, your dentist must remove some enamel from your natural teeth. This roughens your teeth surfaces and helps your new veneers stay in place.
Removable veneers
Removable veneers — also called pop-on veneers or Snap-On veneers — cover your natural teeth to hide imperfections. Like retainers, you can take removable veneers out anytime. Removable veneers can enhance your smile — but they can make it difficult to eat, and they could have a negative impact on your speech.
Note: It’s only to be used for temporary reason.
Why Choose Veneers?
This should be a question of tastes and preferences, but we will take the pains to enlighten you on why veneers are a better option. One still has the option of going for implants or dental crowns to rectify their particular problem. Nevertheless, dental veneers leave the power in your hands since you are the one to decide on the look that’s best for you. What’s more, you also have the chance to modify the look during the operation if still not satisfied. Veneers also give you a number of options such as the instant ones which are already pre-made and quite pocket-friendly, Lumineers which are a form of veneer teeth, and the porcelain veneers which you can manipulate to your will. They also tend to offer a longer lasting option to maintaining that beautiful look thus can be said to give out value worth its price.
What happens before dental veneer placement?
During your initial appointment, your dentist will examine your teeth and gums to determine if you’re eligible for veneers. If you’re a candidate, they’ll prepare your teeth by removing small amounts of enamel. Next, they’ll take impressions of your teeth. A dental lab technician will use these impressions to make your custom veneers. (If you choose composite veneers, dental impressions aren’t needed.)
It can take a few weeks for the dental lab to complete your veneers. If necessary, your dentist can place temporary veneers in the meantime. Once the technician finishes your veneers, the lab will ship them to your dentist’s office.
What happens during veneer placement?
During a second office visit, your dentist will check the shape, color and fit of your veneers, then permanently bond them into place using dental cement. Finally, they’ll check your bite and make any necessary adjustments.
If you want to change something about your veneers, like the shape or color, let your dentist know. They’ll work with you and the dental laboratory to ensure that your results are satisfactory.
There’s no downtime following veneer placement. People who receive dental veneers can return to normal activities the same day. You can also eat or drink immediately after your appointment, as long as the anesthesia has worn off.
Do dental veneers require special care?
Brushing, flossing and visiting your dentist regularly are all you need to do to keep your veneers in good working condition. Be sure to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste. Avoid whitening products, as they can scratch your veneers.
To make your veneers last, you should also avoid biting directly into hard or crunchy foods like apples, carrots and tough meats. Cut up these foods and chew them with your back teeth.
Porcelain veneers are stain resistant, but it’s still a good idea to avoid dark-colored foods and beverages, such as berries, red wine, coffee and tea. These foods and drinks can stain your veneers over time.
What Is A Hollywood Smile?
A Hollywood Smile is a popular cosmetic procedure where the teeth are straightened and brightened to give you that perfect natural smile. To put it simply, there is nothing more beautiful than a confident smile! Cosmetic dentistry is a must for those who wish to have that winning smile.
Veneers make up a Hollywood smile treatment. Veneers are thin layers of porcelain or composite resin that are glued to the front surfaces of your teeth to change their appearance. They are a protective cover over teeth to mask and improve cosmetic issues such as chipped, discolored or misaligned teeth. Our cosmetic dentist will create a bespoke treatment plan for you so that you’ll have the perfect shape and contour for each tooth. There are two types of veneers: composite veneers and porcelain veneers.
What are the advantages of dental veneers?
Dental veneers offer a number of benefits. For example:
- Veneers can dramatically enhance the appearance of your smile.
- They blend in with your natural teeth for lifelike results.
- Veneers resist staining better than your natural tooth enamel.
- Dental veneers don’t require any additional maintenance.
- They have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years with proper care.
What are the disadvantages of veneers?
Veneers also come with certain disadvantages. For example:
- You’ll lose at least some of your natural enamel.
- Many types of veneers aren’t reversible.
- Your teeth may become more sensitive to heat and cold.
- It’s possible for a veneer to fall off or become dislodged.
- Dental veneers are cosmetic, so they’re not covered by most insurances.
Are Veneers Right For Me?
Dental veneers are a great solution if you want a constant smile that covers up discolouration, gaps or chips in your smile. However, veneers aren’t suitable for everyone. People who have severely decayed teeth or large fillings, as veneers, won’t attach correctly. Your dentist will assess if your teeth are suitable for veneers in your free consultation and will suggest other treatment options if they are not.
Do veneers damage your teeth?
No. Veneers don’t actively damage your teeth. However, it’s still possible for the natural tooth structure underneath to decay. Therefore, it’s important to brush, floss and visit your dentist regularly for cleanings.
Are veneers permanent?
Most types of dental veneers are permanent, meaning they aren’t reversible. Some types of veneers, such as no-prep or minimal prep, are reversible.
On average, dental veneers last between 10 to 15 years with proper care and maintenance.
How can I keep my veneers in good condition?
Here are some recommendations for keeping your veneers looking and feeling great:
- Brush at least twice a day with a nonabrasive fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush.
- Floss between your teeth once daily.
- Use an antibacterial mouthwash twice a day.
- Never use your teeth as tools (such as opening packages or tearing off clothing tags).
- Visit your dentist for routine exams and cleanings.
When should I see my healthcare provider?
If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your smile, dental veneers may be a solution. Talk to your dentist about your cosmetic concerns and find out if veneers could work for you.
If you already have veneers and something doesn’t feel quite right, call your dentist right away.

Ultra-thin veneers are crafted from durable, attractive shades of porcelain. They’re precisely shaped, shaded, and bonded to the front of the teeth in your “smile zone” (usually 6-8 at a time.) Once affixed into place, your smile looks dramatically different, but the natural teeth are just hidden behind your porcelain veneers.
Our porcelain dental veneers are ideal for someone who has healthy teeth and gums but wants to enhance their smile. You could say they are the most advanced and attractive type of cosmetic dentistry treatment worldwide. Veneers can be used on their own, or in combination with other types of cosmetic dentistry treatment.
The Porcelain Veneers Process
The typical dental veneer process is usually spread out across 2-3 appointments.
In your try-in visit, you will be able to see the veneers with your beloved once prior to the final cementation. Once you approve the final shape and color and the dentist is happy with it oth technically and aesthetically, the final cementation will take place and full instructions will be provided according to your case.
Dental veneers are a great way to improve your smile, and they’re a popular option for those with chipped, cracked, or misshapen teeth. They’re also an excellent option for those who have gaps between their teeth. The veneers are thin covers that adhere to your teeth and give your teeth a straighter appearance
The short answer is no. Nothing will happen to your teeth as long as you take care of your veneers – which is easy to do. Having said this, decay can still occur if veneers aren’t installed properly, or you neglect your dental hygiene
The lifespan of dental veneers depends on whether you have porcelain or composite veneers, and how well you care for them. Porcelain laminate veneers can last from 10 to 12 years. Composite resin veneers need to be replaced sooner, since they last for around 4 to 8 years.
No! Most patients report no pain or discomfort at all during treatment. This is because the procedure is minimally-invasive. The only preparation required for veneers is the removal of a thin layer of enamel from your teeth
