What Are Veneers?
Veneers are a type of cosmetic dental treatment designed to enhance the appearance of your teeth. They are thin shells that are bonded to the front of one or more teeth to improve shape, color, or symmetry. Veneers can be used to cover cracks, smooth out uneven surfaces, close small gaps, or give slightly misaligned teeth a straighter look. The result is a more uniform and confident smile tailored to your preferences.
Types of Veneers and How They Are Made?
There are two main types of veneers: porcelain and composite. Porcelain veneers are crafted by a dental technician in a lab, offering high durability and a very natural finish. Composite veneers can either be made in a lab or built directly on the tooth by the dentist during your appointment. Both options are effective, and your dentist will help you choose the right material based on your goals, budget, and the condition of your teeth.
How Long Do Veneers Last?
The lifespan of veneers depends on how well you care for your teeth and maintain good oral hygiene. While proper dental care is always important, it becomes even more essential when you have veneers. To extend their durability, you should brush twice a day, floss daily, and use a fluoride mouthwash. On average, porcelain veneers can last up to 20 years, and composite veneers around 10 years. The exact lifespan may be shorter or longer depending on your daily habits and care routine.
Tips to Help Your Veneers Last Longer
• Do not bite into hard foods with your front teeth
• Wear a mouthguard if you play sports with a risk of impact
• If you grind your teeth, visit your dentist to get a night guard
• Avoid chewing on pens, using your teeth to open packaging, or similar habits

Consultation
The process begins with a consultation where you and your dentist discuss your expectations and assess whether veneers are the right option. In many cases, only the upper front teeth are treated, and alternatives like Invisalign or Icon may be recommended depending on your needs.

Before the Treatment
If you move forward, a full dental exam with photos and X-rays is required to ensure your oral health is suitable. A 3D scan of your teeth is used to create a mock-up, so you can preview the expected results and approve the look before starting.

Treatment Process
Together with a dental technician, you choose the ideal shade for your veneers. A small amount of enamel is removed, impressions are taken, and temporary veneers are placed while the final ones are made. Once ready, the permanent veneers are carefully bonded to your teeth.
