Porcelain veneers with minimal preparation
They correct shape, shade and small imperfections while preserving as much healthy tooth as possible.
What are dental veneers?
They are very thin porcelain shells bonded to the visible face of the tooth. They let us change shape, shade and size and correct minor crowding or gaps without orthodontics or crowns.
Do they look artificial?
Not when they are properly planned. Porcelain reproduces the translucency of natural enamel, and the design is built from your facial proportions rather than a catalogue. What reads as artificial usually comes from a shade that is too uniform and a shape that is too symmetrical.
How long do they last?
With correct hygiene and regular check-ups, a well-indicated porcelain veneer has a long service life. The factor that shortens it most is uncontrolled bruxism: if you clench, the night guard is part of the treatment, not an optional extra.
Veneers or crowns?
A veneer covers only the visible surface and preserves more tooth; it is the option when the tooth is sound and the issue is cosmetic. A crown covers the whole tooth and is indicated where there is significant breakdown, a previous root canal or a fracture.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about this treatment
01 How long do porcelain veneers last?
With correct hygiene and regular check-ups, the service life is long. The factor that shortens it most is uncontrolled bruxism: if you clench, a night guard is part of the treatment.
02 Do veneers look artificial?
Not when they are properly planned. Porcelain reproduces the translucency of enamel and the design starts from your facial proportions. What reads as artificial usually comes from a shade that is too uniform and a shape that is too symmetrical.
03 Does a lot of tooth have to be filed down?
We work with minimal preparation and, in selected cases, none at all. The less enamel we touch, the better the long-term prognosis.
04 Can I eat normally?
Yes. It is worth avoiding biting hard objects such as ice, or opening things with your teeth — the same as with natural teeth.
05 Can veneers be removed?
The bonding is adhesive and definitive. If one needs replacing in future, it is substituted with another. That is why the prior aesthetic trial matters so much: it is the moment to change your mind.
