What do we know about dental veneers?
Main differences in working methods.
Who are they suitable for?
If we want to achieve a radiant smile and are looking for a quick and non-invasive method to do so, then veneers are probably the solution for us! A beautiful smile always makes a good impression. Even if we can't boast of it, modern methods of dental aesthetics provide us with more and more options. A successful dental team, good awareness and the options we as patients can get are an important part of our smile aesthetics. When we want to target the right procedure for us, it is good to know that the dental professional and their team will be able to give a competent assessment. The internet offers a wealth of information on the subject. Dental veneers, for example, offer various advantages over other aesthetic dental procedures.
The choice of veneers is a more versatile option, suitable and preferred by many patients. Veneers are fine porcelain "tops" that can be conventionally likened to "thin plates" adhered to the front of our natural teeth. For veneers, you have the option of choosing the right shade to suit your idea of an aesthetic and beautiful smile, but it is a good idea to discuss any preference with your dental professional. In the past, the veneer process has taken several weeks. Now, however, the capabilities of the modern technological world offer a much quicker solution to this. Within just a few days, you can become the proud owner of a new natural-looking appearance with a sparkling smile and new self-confidence.
What often excites patients is:
- What is the process of inserting the facets?
- Will I feel pain? Will I be under anesthesia?
- What guarantee do the facets have?
- Will their appearance change over the years?
If you have no idea what veneers are or what aesthetic dental changes they are suitable for, the information we offer will be useful to you.
For what corrections would be suitable dental veneers:
- Distances between teeth
- Serious and deep stains on the teeth that cannot be whitened successfully
- Irregular edges
- For broken and/or cracked tooth surfaces
- Too small teeth
First of all, it is important to clarify the differences between the two main types of veneers:
- Veneers where we do not have any pre-treatment of the natural teeth - from English Lumineers

What are the steps we will go through if we choose dental veneers ( Lumineers/ Veneers)
Regardless of which location we choose for our dental treatment, we will go through the following steps:
- Dental examination
- Assessment of your facial and structural features
- Choice of colour
- 3D visualization or computer simulation of your future new smile / optional

This alternative is a great way to experience the magic of dental aesthetics and see in advance what your new smile would look like once you choose dental veneers.
In any case, it is better to trust the professionals.
