Veneers (porcelain laminates)

What is a veneer?

A veneer is a thin ceramic layer bonded to the front surface of a front tooth. It is used to change the colour, shape or length of the tooth. Unlike a crown, it does not cover the whole tooth, only the visible surface.

Who is it considered for?

• Discolouration that does not lighten with whitening
• Chipped or worn tooth edges
• Small gaps between teeth
• Front teeth that differ in shape or length

Who may veneers not suit?

Severe clenching or grinding, insufficient enamel, untreated decay or gum disease, and marked crowding are among the situations in which veneers may not be suitable. With crowding, orthodontics first, and with colour problems, whitening first, may be a better starting point.

Treatment stages

First, a plan is made from photographs and a digital impression. Where suitable, the shape of the new teeth can be seen in advance with a temporary trial in the mouth. For a veneer, a limited amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of the tooth; this step is irreversible, so the decision is made together after the examination and planning. After the veneers are made in the laboratory, they are tried in and fixed to the teeth with a special adhesive.

Aftercare

Teeth with veneers are brushed and flossed like natural teeth. Avoid biting hard things such as pens, ice or nutshells with the front teeth, and attend regular check-ups. If you clench your teeth at night, a protective guard may be recommended.
