Frequently asked questions
Dental veneers: your questions
They are thin shells of ceramic or composite bonded to the front surface of the tooth to improve its appearance.
There are two main types. Composite veneers are made in a single session, are more porous and need regular maintenance. Ceramic veneers are harder and more resistant, do not change color and can last up to 20 years with proper maintenance.
Composite veneers can last between 5 and 10 years, and porcelain veneers between 10 and 15 years. Durability depends on care and maintenance.
Dark, crooked, rotated or tilted teeth, gaps between teeth, and short, chipped, broken or worn teeth.
They suit many patients, but not all. It depends on dental health and aesthetic needs; a professional assessment is essential.
Immediate results (in 1 to 3 appointments), a conservative cosmetic treatment, long-lasting results and a completely natural look.
