Smile Design/Veneers

Service Description

If imperfections are making you hide your smile, porcelain veneers offer a transformative solution. These thin porcelain shells mimic natural teeth and provide strength similar to natural enamel, perfect for adjusting tooth shape, size, or color. Porcelain Veneers Can Correct: 1. Uneven or crooked teeth 2. Proportional issues with tooth shape 3. Tetracycline stains or stubborn discoloration 4. Sensitivity in teeth 5. Worn-down teeth How It Works: A small amount of tooth enamel is removed to fit the veneer. A light-sensitive resin bonds the veneer to the tooth, ensuring a natural look and strong hold. Benefits: 1. Natural appearance 2. Stain-resistant 3. Minimal alteration of original teeth 4. Can brighten even the darkest teeth Potential Downsides: 1. Irreversible due to enamel removal 2. Requires lab time (about a week) 3. Possible initial sensitivity to temperature 4. Avoid excessive stress on veneers Maintenance: Treat veneers like natural teeth with regular brushing and flossing. A follow-up visit is necessary to ensure proper fit and function. Case Study: This is a patient who had undergone Braces treatment a few years back and had left his treatment incomplete at another clinic. When he visited us, looking at his teeth, analysing his smile and understanding his expectations, we decided to fit him 12 veneers. His dental examination revealed an open bite or a lack of contact between his upper and lower front teeth. For patients, who do not consider Braces as a treatment options, the safest procedure to do is Porcelain veneers. These are thin shells of Porcelain or Lithium Disilicate which bond to your tooth and can be made at a thickness of 0.6mm - 0.8mm. This minimal thickness ensures that we do not compromise the strength of the teeth and they last longer than traditional caps. At Smile Speak Dental Clinic, we offer personalized veneer solutions to achieve a beautiful, confident smile.
