Porcelain veneers are thin, custom shells bonded to the front of the teeth to improve their colour, shape, size and alignment. Stain-resistant and natural-looking, they transform a smile affected by discolouration, chips, gaps or minor misalignment with long-lasting results.
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom shells bonded to the front of the teeth to improve their colour, shape, size and alignment. Stain-resistant and natural-looking, they transform a smile affected by discolouration, chips, gaps or minor misalignment with long-lasting results.
A porcelain veneer is a wafer-thin ceramic shell crafted to fit the front surface of a tooth. A small amount of enamel is usually removed so the veneer sits flush, then it is bonded in place. Porcelain reflects light like natural enamel and resists staining, which is why it is a popular choice for a bright, natural smile.
Porcelain veneers are usually completed in two visits:
Design & preparation — the smile is planned and a thin layer of enamel is gently prepared.
Impression & temporaries — a scan or impression is taken and temporary veneers are placed.
Crafting — your custom veneers are made and shade-matched in the laboratory.
Bonding — the veneers are checked for fit and colour, then bonded to the teeth.
You may be a suitable candidate if you:
Have discoloured, chipped, worn or slightly misaligned front teeth
Have small gaps you would like closed
Have healthy teeth and gums (any decay treated first)
Want a natural, stain-resistant improvement to your smile
Have realistic expectations and good oral-hygiene habits

Temporary veneers protect prepared teeth; chew gently

Eat normally with care; avoid biting hard objects
Good hygiene and check-ups keep veneers looking their best
Porcelain veneers resist staining and can last many years; avoid using your teeth as tools and attend regular check-ups.
Veneers are a popular cosmetic option, but because some enamel is removed the treatment is irreversible. Possible effects include temporary sensitivity, and — uncommonly — a veneer chipping or coming loose, which can be repaired or replaced. They are best on healthy teeth; significant decay, gum disease or heavy grinding (which may need a night guard) should be addressed first.

The most common questions about this treatment
Porcelain veneers are thin shells that usually need a small amount of enamel removed. Laminate veneers are ultra-thin and often need minimal or no preparation. Your dentist recommends which suits your teeth and goals.
Yes. Porcelain reflects light like natural enamel and is shade-matched to your smile, so well-made veneers look natural. Digital design lets you preview the shape and shade beforehand.
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, porcelain veneers can last many years. Avoiding biting hard objects and wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth helps them last longer.
Mild sensitivity to hot and cold is common in the first days because a little enamel is removed, and it usually settles quickly as you adjust.
Veneers usually take two visits, so most international patients stay about 5–7 days while the veneers are crafted and bonded, with temporaries in between.

A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once the bone fuses to the implant, it supports a natural-looking crown, bridge or denture. Implants restore chewing, speech and appearance, and — unlike removable dentures — are a fixed, long-lasting solution with success rates of around 95–98%.
