Ceramic Veneers

Ceramic veneers at The Clinic Praha are thin, custom-made porcelain shells bonded to the front of the teeth to correct shade, shape, minor misalignment, chips and gaps — fabricated in the clinic's own Prague dental laboratory. Single veneers start from 17,500 Kč per tooth, while complete 'New Smile' reconstructions cover 6 teeth from 110,000 Kč or 10 teeth from 175,000 Kč. A digital virtual try-on (10,000 Kč) lets you preview the designed smile before any tooth is touched. Veneers require minimal enamel preparation compared with crowns and, with good hygiene, last 10–15 years.

Porcelain veneers are the reference standard for cosmetic smile transformation: wafer-thin ceramic facings (typically 0.3–0.7 mm) bonded to minimally prepared front teeth, combining natural light transmission with high stain resistance and durability. **Indications:** permanent discolouration that whitening cannot fix (tetracycline staining, fluorosis, root-canal-darkened teeth), chipped or worn incisal edges, small gaps (diastemas), mildly rotated or uneven front teeth, and inconsistent tooth shapes. For more significant misalignment, the clinic may recommend Invisalign first so veneers can be thinner and more conservative. **Process at The Clinic Praha:** 1. Consultation and smile analysis — photography, scanning and shade planning. 2. Optional digital virtual try-on (10,000 Kč): the designed smile is visualised (and can be mocked up) before preparation, so you approve the result in advance. 3. Minimal enamel preparation under local anaesthesia and precision impressions/scans. 4. The clinic's in-house laboratory fabricates the ceramic veneers, allowing direct dentist–technician shade communication. 5. Try-in and adhesive bonding; bite check and polish. **'New Smile' full reconstructions:** for patients renewing the entire visible smile zone, package pricing applies — 6 teeth from 110,000 Kč or 10 teeth from 175,000 Kč — typically combining veneers and crowns as each tooth requires. **Longevity and care:** veneers do not decay, but the underlying tooth can — meticulous hygiene and regular professional cleaning are essential. Avoid using front teeth on very hard objects; a night guard is advised for patients who grind (the clinic supplies bruxism guards at 4,500 Kč). Whitening should be completed before veneer fabrication, as ceramic does not change shade.
