Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin ceramic shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve their color, shape, and spacing. The amount of tooth preparation depends on each case and is advised by the dentist, with the aim of preserving as much natural tooth as possible.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
A veneer is an ultra-thin ceramic shell custom-made and bonded to the front surface of a tooth. Unlike a crown, a veneer does not cover the entire tooth — it covers only the facial surface — preserving more of the natural tooth structure.
We use Emax (lithium disilicate glass ceramic) for porcelain veneers, offering exceptional translucency and natural appearance that closely mimics real tooth enamel.
Who Is Suitable for Porcelain Veneers?
Stained or Discoloured Teeth
Severe intrinsic staining, tetracycline discolouration, or enamel defects that do not respond to professional whitening
Gaps and Spacing
Noticeable spaces between teeth that affect your smile and confidence, improved without braces
Chipped or Irregularly Shaped Teeth
Minor chips or irregular tooth shapes corrected comprehensively without full crown coverage
Complete Smile Transformation
Often referred to as a 'Hollywood Smile,' this approach uses a full set of veneers to create a bright, uniform appearance across the visible front teeth.
Avoiding Orthodontics
Correcting mild tooth position and shape issues in the front teeth without long orthodontic treatment
Healthy Natural Teeth
Patients with healthy pulp and jawbone who want purely aesthetic surface improvement
When the dentist needs to assess first
Veneers are suitable only if you do not have extensive decay or gum disease; these problems need treatment first. For other cases, the dentist examines you and tells you whether veneers are right for you.
Advantages of Porcelain Veneers
Maximum Tooth Preservation
A veneer covers only the front of the tooth, so it usually keeps more natural tooth than a crown. The amount of preparation depends on each case.
Superior Aesthetics
E.max ceramic is light-transmitting and translucent. Shade selection is carefully matched to skin tone and facial proportions.
Fast Results
A complete smile transformation in just 2–3 appointments — no lengthy orthodontic treatment or surgery required.
Colour Stability
Porcelain veneers do not discolour over time. Longevity depends on care habits, hygiene, and regular dental check-ups.
The Veneer Placement Process
Consultation & Smile Design
The dentist examines the teeth and recommends the most suitable veneer type. Our partner dental lab uses Digital Smile Design (DSD) software when scanning your teeth, so you can preview the shape of your new smile before treatment begins.
Tooth Preparation & Digital Impression
Minimal tooth surface preparation if required (or none), followed by a precise 3D digital scan for laboratory fabrication according to the design.
Laboratory Fabrication
The dental technician fabricates the veneers from the scan data — typically 2–3 days. Temporary veneers are placed to protect the teeth during this period.
Trial & Fine-Tuning
The veneers are tried on to assess colour, shape, and bite. Fine adjustments are made to achieve the perfect result.
Bonding & Finishing
Teeth surfaces are cleaned, veneers are bonded with photopolymerised dental adhesive, occlusion is refined, and the veneers are polished to a final finish.

Risks and veneer care
What to know before you start:
- If preparation is needed, the enamel removed cannot be restored
- Teeth may become more sensitive to hot and cold
- A veneer can come off or chip
- The tooth under a veneer can still decay if it is not cleaned well
After your veneers are fitted:
- Brush twice a day with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste, and floss every day
- Cut hard food into small pieces and chew with your back teeth
- Do not open bottles or bite hard objects with your teeth
- Limit coffee, tea and red wine
- Have a check-up every 6 months, and tell the clinic straight away if a veneer feels different
Alternatives to veneers
- Teeth whitening: when you only want brighter teeth. See cosmetic dentistry.
- Composite veneers or composite bonding: lower cost than porcelain veneers.
- Porcelain crowns: when the tooth is badly damaged and needs full protection.
Planning your veneer trip
Veneers usually take 2–3 appointments, with 2–3 days of laboratory work. Tell us your travel dates when you book, and the dentist confirms the schedule after the examination. The clinic supports your arrival, suggests accommodation nearby and provides all the documents you need for an insurance claim on request.
Frequently Asked Questions
In most cases there is little or no discomfort since only minimal enamel is removed. When more preparation is necessary, local anaesthesia is used to ensure the patient is completely comfortable throughout the procedure.
Veneer longevity depends on the material, care habits, and lifestyle. Avoiding hard foods, maintaining good oral hygiene with daily flossing, and attending 6-monthly check-ups help extend veneer lifespan.
