When are porcelain veneers used?

Porcelain veneers are used to enhance aesthetic teeth that have been discoloured, worn or broken. But also to close gaps between teeth, teeth with many fillings and those that are non-uniform in size. Also, when a patient wishes to have permanent white teeth, but also to "bring" a tooth in the right position in the dental arch. This technique-treatment can satisfy even the most demanding candidate, as it is able to completely redesign your smile.

Why put porcelain veneers?

More and more people are resorting to this option, as your teeth will look healthy and the result will be completely natural, and this is because they are individually designed to fit your smile perfectly. In addition, porcelain veneers are unchanged, with a lifespan of 15-20 years, require minimal tooth preparation and require just three visits a week to the dentist. They are very durable and do not absorb dyes from drinks or foods you may consume.

Do I have to put porcelain veneers on all my teeth?

This is not necessary, usually 6-10 sides of resin are placed. It always depends on the aesthetic result that each interested party wants to achieve. For this reason, the treatment plan is created after a personal discussion with the patient and a detailed clinical examination.

What is the price of porcelain veneers?

This is a treatment that requires knowledge, skills and experience, to which we add the expensive materials and given their duration (15-20 years), it is logical that their cost is high. Of course the price varies from doctor's office to doctor's office. In Smile Design the porcelain faces used are custom made, designed in Switzerland. Alternatively, if you prefer a more economical solution, you can choose resin veneers.
