Porcelain Veneer

A porcelain veneer is a thin, custom ceramic shell bonded to the front of a tooth to improve its colour, shape or alignment, used mainly to enhance the appearance of the smile line. Made to a chosen shade in the clinic's prosthetics workshop, veneers can close small gaps, even out worn or chipped edges and brighten teeth that do not respond to whitening. They are typically planned as a set across the visible front teeth.

Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin shells of dental ceramic bonded to the visible surface of the front teeth to refine the look of a smile. They are a cosmetic option for teeth that are discoloured in a way whitening cannot fully correct, slightly crooked or uneven, worn or chipped at the edges, or separated by small gaps. Because each veneer is individually crafted, the dentist can shape the proportions and choose a shade that suits your face and the result you are after, from a natural improvement to a noticeably brighter, more even smile. At Centrum Stomatologiczne Legnica treatment starts with a planning appointment to agree the shape, shade and number of teeth involved, since veneers are usually done as a balanced set across the smile line rather than a single tooth in isolation. A small amount of enamel is generally prepared from the front of each tooth so the veneer sits flush, an impression or scan is taken, and the centre's in-house prosthetics workshop and technician make the veneers to the agreed specification. At the fitting they are tried in, checked for fit and appearance, then bonded firmly into place and polished. Veneers are looked after much like natural teeth — good cleaning, avoiding habits such as biting nails or opening packaging with the teeth, and regular check-ups — and the underlying teeth still need ongoing care. The dentist will discuss whether veneers, composite bonding or crowns best suit your case and what each involves before any preparation begins.
