Porcelain Veneer

A veneer is a thin, custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to improve its colour, shape, length or alignment. At Stomatologia Pastor veneers are planned within the aesthetic-dentistry service and crafted by the on-site laboratory for a natural, tailored result. They are used to refine individual teeth or, in multiples, to create a more even and brighter smile.

Veneers are slim facings — usually porcelain or a high-grade composite — bonded to the visible surface of a tooth to change its appearance without crowning the whole tooth. They can mask discolouration that does not respond to whitening, close small gaps, reshape worn or uneven edges and create the impression of straighter, more uniform teeth, which is why they are often used together for a smile makeover. At Stomatologia Pastor, veneer treatment starts with an aesthetic consultation to agree the shade, shape and how many teeth to treat. Depending on the design, a small amount of enamel may be lightly prepared before an impression or digital scan is taken; the veneers are then made by the clinic's in-house dental-technician laboratory and matched to your desired result and neighbouring teeth. At the fitting visit each veneer is tried in, adjusted and bonded to the tooth, and the bite is checked. Veneers may support a brighter, more even smile and can be a conservative alternative to crowns when the underlying teeth are largely healthy. They require good gum health and sensible habits — very hard biting or grinding can chip any facing, so a night guard is sometimes advised. The price range reflects different veneer types and materials; the dentist will recommend the most suitable option and confirm the per-tooth and total cost at consultation.
