Ceramic Veneers

Smile Centrum offers hand-finished ceramic veneers from its in-house dental laboratory at 15,900 Kč per tooth (Premium tier) or 19,000 Kč for the high-aesthetic Essentia line (Exclusive tier). Veneers are thin ceramic facings bonded to the front of teeth to correct discolouration, chips, small gaps, worn edges and minor shape irregularities — delivering a smile-zone transformation with minimal removal of healthy enamel. Because the network runs its own laboratory, shade and shape can be matched directly with the technician, and the team's aesthetic dentistry department handles design, provisionals and bonding within the same organisation.

A veneer is a 0.3–0.7 mm ceramic shell bonded to the visible surface of a front tooth. Unlike a crown, which wraps the whole tooth, a veneer preserves most natural tooth structure while completely refreshing colour, shape and surface texture — which is why veneers are the restoration of choice for cosmetic smile-zone work. **What veneers correct:** permanent discolouration that whitening cannot fix (tetracycline staining, fluorosis, root-treated darkening), chipped or worn incisal edges, small gaps (diastemas), mild rotations and shape asymmetries, and 'gummy' or uneven smile lines when combined with other treatment. They are not a substitute for orthodontics in significant crowding — Smile Centrum's aligner service handles tooth position first where needed, often reducing how many veneers are required. **Tiers:** the *Premium* ceramic veneer (15,900 Kč) uses layered ceramic on pressed cores for natural translucency; the *Exclusive* Essentia veneer (19,000 Kč) is the laboratory's top hand-characterised aesthetic line for the most demanding cases — close-up photography, asymmetric characterisation, and custom surface micro-texture. **Process:** smile-design consultation with photos and shade planning → minimal enamel preparation under local anaesthesia → impressions/scan → temporary veneers → laboratory fabrication with direct technician shade-matching (in-house lab) → try-in and adhesive bonding. Two to three visits in total, which suits visiting international patients. **Longevity and care:** bonded ceramic veneers typically last 10–15 years with normal care. Avoid using front teeth to bite hard objects; a night guard is advised for grinders. Hygiene visits maintain the bonded margins. **Value:** per-tooth veneer pricing of 15,900–19,000 Kč (~€640–€760) compares with €900–€1,500 per veneer typical in Germany, Austria and the UK — a meaningful saving across a multi-tooth smile makeover.
