Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of the teeth to improve their colour, shape, size and alignment — the basis of a smile makeover. Apolonia Dental offers durable, natural-looking full ceramic (porcelain) veneers as well as a more affordable composite bonding option, and can preview the result with Digital Smile Design before any work begins. Treatment is carried out by a prosthetics-focused dentist, with German- and English-speaking care for visiting patients.

Veneers are wafer-thin facings — most commonly porcelain — bonded to the front surfaces of the teeth to change their appearance. They are used to close small gaps, lengthen worn or short teeth, correct minor crowding or rotations, and mask discoloration that does not respond to whitening, and together across the smile line they are associated with a more even, brighter and better-proportioned smile. Porcelain veneers are valued for resisting staining and reflecting light much like natural enamel, while composite veneers built up directly on the tooth offer a lower-cost, less invasive alternative. At Apolonia Dental a smile makeover starts with planning: the clinic uses Digital Smile Design to model the proposed shape and proportions and can produce a mock-up so the look can be tried before committing. For ceramic veneers the teeth are minimally prepared, a precise scan is taken, and the veneers are custom-made by the laboratory before being bonded at a later visit; composite veneers can often be completed chairside in a single appointment. Shade, shape and symmetry are tailored to the face and to neighbouring teeth, with work led by a dentist focused on prosthetics and aesthetic dentistry. Veneers suit adults unhappy with the colour, shape, length or spacing of their visible teeth who have healthy gums and sufficient enamel; the dentist confirms suitability and whether ceramic or composite is the better fit at consultation. The German- and English-speaking team and on-site hotel make multi-visit makeovers practical for patients travelling from Germany.
