Ceramic Veneer

Ceramic veneers are thin, custom shells bonded to the front of the teeth to improve their colour, shape and alignment, mainly for the smile line. At Medin each veneer is made by a dental laboratory and bonded by the dentist for a natural finish. Veneers can address discoloured, chipped, worn or slightly uneven front teeth, and the dentist plans the look with you before any irreversible preparation is carried out.

A ceramic veneer is a thin, tooth-shaped shell of porcelain that is bonded to the visible front surface of a tooth to change its appearance. Veneers are mainly an aesthetic treatment for the front teeth, used to improve teeth that are discoloured and do not respond to whitening, chipped or worn at the edges, slightly crooked or rotated, or separated by small gaps. Because the ceramic is translucent and individually shaded, a well-made veneer blends closely with the surrounding teeth for a natural result. At Medin Stomatologia veneer treatment begins with a consultation to plan the shape, colour and proportions of the teeth and to confirm that veneers — rather than bonding, crowns or orthodontics — are the right approach for your goals. A small amount of enamel is usually prepared from the front of each tooth so the veneer sits flush, an impression is taken, and the laboratory crafts the veneers to the agreed design before the dentist bonds them in place and refines the bite and finish. Veneers are typically planned across several front teeth at once so the smile looks even. As the preparation is generally irreversible, the dentist discusses the trade-offs and long-term care, including the importance of good hygiene and avoiding habits such as biting nails or hard objects that can chip ceramic. With proper care veneers can last many years, and individual veneers can be replaced if needed.
