Veneers in brief

A veneer (porcelain laminate) is a porcelain shell, about as thin as a contact lens, bonded only to the front surface of the tooth. It needs much less reduction than crowns that cover the whole tooth.

Veneers are usually used on front teeth to correct shape, color, small chips and gaps. Before any permanent work, the planned look can be tried in the mouth temporarily; length, shape and color are finalized together at this stage.

The basics

When are veneers chosen?

Veneers work well on front teeth that are sound and have enough enamel. They are most often considered in these situations:

Color that does not lighten with whitening

Permanent stains caused by medication or fluorosis.

Details →

Gaps between teeth

Closing small gaps between the front teeth.

Small chips and wear

Front teeth with chipped or worn edges.

Differences in shape and length

Teeth that look short, small or different from each other.

Mild irregularity

Crowding too mild to need orthodontics.

Details →

Replacing old fillings

Large front-tooth fillings that have changed color.

Comparison

Veneers, zirconia and cosmetic bonding

The three options differ in how much tooth structure is removed and how durable they are. Which one suits you is decided at the examination.

Process

Veneers step by step

  1. Examination and smile analysisDay 1

    Tooth and gum health is checked; facial and smile photos are taken and your expectations are discussed.

  2. Design and try-in1 week

    The planned teeth are prepared on a model and can be tried in the mouth with a temporary material (mock-up).

  3. Tooth preparation1 session

    The front surface of the teeth is thinned very slightly and an impression or a digital scan with an intraoral scanner is taken. Temporary veneers may be fitted.

  4. Bondingwithin 1–2 weeks

    The veneers made in the laboratory are tried in; fit and color are checked and they are permanently bonded.

  5. Check-ups1–2 a year

    The veneers and gums are followed up with regular check-ups.

Suitability

Who are veneers for?

Situations where implants are usually suitable

  • Sound front teeth with enough enamel

Veneers are a minimally invasive method, but the procedure still cannot be undone.

IrreversibilitySome tooth structure is removed, however little; if a veneer is removed, the tooth needs to be covered again.
Fracture and debondingBiting hard objects and clenching can damage veneers.
SensitivityThere may be sensitivity for a few days after preparation.
Margin careIf the edges are not cleaned well, gum inflammation and staining can develop.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about veneers

Will my teeth be cut down for veneers?

Only the front surface of the tooth is thinned very slightly; much less is removed than for zirconia. In some cases veneers can be applied with no reduction at all.

How long do veneers last?

With regular care and check-ups they can be used for many years. Clenching, biting hard objects and gum health affect their lifespan.

What is the difference between veneers and zirconia?

A veneer covers only the front surface of the tooth, while zirconia covers the whole tooth. Veneers are chosen for sound front teeth and zirconia for teeth with major loss of tooth structure.

Can I see the result in advance?

Yes. The planned teeth can be tried in the mouth with a temporary material before any permanent work.

Do veneers change color?

Porcelain resists discoloration. Plaque building up at the edges should be cleaned regularly.

How many sessions do veneers take?

They are mostly completed in 2–3 sessions, over about 1–2 weeks.

Should I have whitening before veneers?

If the color of the neighboring teeth without veneers matters, whitening is usually done first and the veneer shade is chosen accordingly.

Do veneers come off?

A properly bonded veneer does not come off by itself. It can come loose after a hard knock or biting something hard; it can then be rebonded or replaced.
