Dental Veneers

Thin veneers bonded to the front of the teeth to improve their colour, shape and alignment as part of a smile makeover. Composite veneers are built up directly by the dentist in a single visit and are more economical, while ceramic (porcelain) veneers are custom-made in a laboratory for a more durable, stain-resistant and natural finish. Veneers are priced per tooth and planned across the smile for a balanced result.

Veneers are thin facings applied to the visible surface of the front teeth to change their appearance — improving colour, closing small gaps, reshaping worn or uneven edges and creating a more even, brighter smile. At Centrum Stomatologiczne dr Jadczyk both composite and ceramic veneers are offered as part of the clinic's aesthetic dentistry service. Composite veneers are sculpted directly onto the tooth by the dentist using a tooth-coloured resin in a single appointment, which makes them a more affordable and minimally invasive option that can usually be repaired or adjusted easily. Ceramic, or porcelain, veneers are custom-fabricated in a dental laboratory from impressions or digital scans and then bonded to the teeth at a second visit. They are more durable, more resistant to staining and reflect light in a way that closely mimics natural enamel, which is why they are often chosen for longer-lasting smile makeovers. Veneers are priced per tooth, and because an attractive result depends on the teeth working together as a set, treatment is planned across the smile rather than tooth by tooth; the number of veneers and the choice of material are agreed at consultation. A small amount of enamel may be prepared depending on the type chosen. Veneers are suited to adults with healthy teeth and gums who want to refine the look of their smile, and the dentist will discuss shade, shape and what is realistic for your teeth before starting.
