Porcelain Veneer

A porcelain veneer is a thin, custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to improve its colour, shape or alignment, used mainly on the teeth that show when smiling. At Diamante Clinica veneers are planned with digital scanning and made from porcelain for a natural, light-reflecting finish, with a lower-cost composite bonding alternative also offered. They suit people wanting to address discoloured, chipped, worn or slightly uneven front teeth.

Porcelain veneers are thin, tailor-made ceramic shells that are bonded to the visible surface of the front teeth to change their colour, shape, length or apparent alignment. Because they cover only the front of the tooth, veneers are a more conservative way to transform the appearance of a smile than full crowns, while still allowing significant changes to discoloured, chipped, worn or mildly crooked teeth. At Diamante Clinica treatment begins by discussing the look you want and assessing whether veneers, composite bonding or another option best fits your teeth. A small amount of enamel is usually prepared, a digital scan is taken, and the porcelain veneers are crafted to match your desired shade and the proportions of your face before being bonded into place. The clinic also offers a composite veneer / bonding alternative at a lower price, built up directly on the tooth in a single visit, which can be a good choice for smaller corrections or a more reversible approach. Porcelain is favoured for its natural translucency and stain resistance and is associated with a durable, long-lasting result when cared for, while bonding is more economical but more prone to staining and chipping over time. The dentist will explain the trade-offs, the number of teeth to treat and the full cost so the plan matches both your goals and your budget.
