Veneers
Dental veneers gently cover the front surface of teeth and restore beauty to your smile with a fast, safe and minimally invasive procedure.
What are veneers?
Veneers are thin ceramic restorations permanently bonded to the front surface of teeth in order to improve their colour, shape, position and size.
They are used for aesthetic correction of worn, damaged, slightly rotated or irregular teeth. The procedure is minimally invasive because it requires only a very small amount of tooth reduction, while the result is a natural and harmonious smile.
Veneers are especially popular among patients who want an aesthetic transformation without major procedures, as they enable a quick and effective smile makeover while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.
Who are veneers intended for?
Veneers are intended for patients who:
- want to improve the appearance of front teeth with minimal intervention
- have healthy teeth but are dissatisfied with their colour, shape, size or position
- have slightly rotated, worn or chipped teeth
- have gaps between teeth or permanent discolorations that cannot be removed by whitening
- want a natural, harmonious and long-lasting aesthetic result without extensive procedures
Before starting treatment, the dentist will determine through an individual assessment whether the patient is a suitable candidate for veneers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who are good candidates for veneers?
Veneers are suitable for people who want to improve the appearance of their front teeth, for example due to discoloration, minor irregularities or damage. It is important that the gums are healthy and free of inflammation, and that the patient has realistic expectations. The final assessment is made by the dentist after the examination.
How long do veneers last?
Veneers generally last around ten years, and their longevity depends on the quality of the material, proper oral hygiene and the patient’s habits. Avoiding excessive stress on the teeth and attending regular check-ups helps preserve their appearance and function.
Difference Between Veneers and Crowns
Veneers cover only the front surface of the tooth and are primarily used for aesthetic corrections. Crowns, on the other hand, cover the entire tooth and are used when a damaged or weakened tooth needs additional protection and reinforcement.
Is Tooth Reduction Necessary for Veneers?
In most cases, minimal preparation of the tooth surface is required, usually by removing a very thin layer of enamel, so the veneers fit perfectly and look natural. In certain situations, veneers can even be placed without tooth reduction, depending on the condition of the teeth and the dentist’s assessment.
