Porcelain Veneer

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom ceramic shells bonded to the front of the teeth to improve their colour, shape, alignment and overall appearance. At SmileStudio veneers are planned with digital smile design and, where helpful, a diagnostic wax-up so you can preview the result before committing. They are well suited to closing small gaps, masking discolouration and refining the shape of the front teeth as part of a smile makeover.

Porcelain veneers are slim, individually crafted shells of dental ceramic that are bonded to the visible surface of the front teeth to change their appearance — improving colour, evening out shape and length, closing minor gaps and masking discolouration or worn edges. Because they are made from porcelain, veneers reflect light in a way similar to natural enamel and resist staining well. They are an aesthetic treatment most often chosen for the upper front teeth as part of a smile makeover. SmileStudio approaches veneer cases with planning tools that set this practice apart for cosmetic work: digital smile design is used to visualise the proposed result, and a diagnostic wax-up can be made so the shape and proportions are agreed before any treatment begins. Preparing teeth for veneers usually involves removing a thin layer of enamel, after which impressions or scans are taken and the veneers are fabricated and then bonded in place; a try-in stage allows fit and shade to be confirmed. The amount of preparation depends on the case, and the dentist will explain what is involved and whether veneers, crowns or more conservative composite bonding (available from 900 zł) best suit your goals and the condition of your teeth. Veneers are durable but, like all restorations, are not indestructible, so habits such as nail-biting or grinding are discussed and a night guard may be advised where appropriate. Good hygiene and regular reviews help veneers last, and the dentist will set out the full plan, number of visits and total cost during the design stage.
