What are Veneers?

Veneers are thin layers of porcelain or resin that are placed on the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are designed to change the color, shape, size or alignment of teeth, providing a natural and aesthetically pleasing result.

How are veneers placed?

Veneers are the ideal solution in cases of:
  • Dental Caries

  • Dental Spaces

  • Tooth discoloration

  • Damages, fractures etc

  • Non-symetrical appearance (size, shape)

  • Perverted teeth

In addition to improving teeth appearance, cosmetic procedures can also resolve functional problems. By correcting issues that appear purely cosmetic, speech and chewing are improved, while daily oral hygiene is facilitated, contributing to maintaining oral health and preventing problems.

What material should I choose?

Choosing between porcelain and resin depends on several factors, such as the patient's personal needs, expectations, and budget.

Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Choose porcelain or resin is made after discussing it with the dentist, who will suggest the optimal solution based on your own needs and expectations.
