Veneers

Perfect aesthetics for your smile

A radiant and flawless smile not only gives you self-confidence, but also leaves a lasting, positive impression - whether at work, at social events or in everyday life. However, not everyone is naturally blessed with perfect teeth. Small imperfections such as discoloration, gaps, chipped edges or slightly crooked teeth can affect the appearance of the smile. This is exactly where veneers come into play - a modern, aesthetic and minimally invasive method to effectively optimize your smile.

What are veneers?

Veneers are wafer-thin dental restorations, usually made of high-quality ceramics or composite materials, which are permanently bonded to the visible surfaces of the front teeth.

Veneers are made individually adjusting to the color, shape and translucency of the natural teeth. This leads to fully natural look and allows them to blend harmoniously into the overall appearance of the dentition.

Which esthetic problems can be corrected with veneers?

Veneers are particularly suitable for the treatment of:

  • Tooth discoloration that cannot be removed by tooth whitening

  • Broken or chipped tooth corners

  • Slight misalignment of teeth

  • Irregularly shaped or differently sized teeth

  • Tooth gaps, especially diastema (gap between the incisors)

Advantages of veneers

  • Natural aesthetics: Thanks to modern materials veneers look like real teeth. They adapt perfectly to the color and structure of the adjacent teeth.

  • Gentle: only a small amount of enamel needs to be shaven off - significantly less than with a crown.

  • Longevity: High-quality ceramic veneers usually last up to 10 years or even longer if they are well cared for.

  • Strong bond: Veneers are permanently bonded to the tooth with a special adhesive - for a secure feeling when eating and speaking.

  • Fast results: The desired smile can be achieved in just a few appointments.

Procedure of veneer treatment

  1. Consultation and planning:
    The first step is a detailed consultation to discuss your wishes and expectations. A simulation of the final result can be created in advance with the help of photos, digital scans or models.

  2. Preparation of the teeth:
    A thin layer of enamel (approx. 0.3-0.5 mm) is removed to ensure a perfect fit. This is done under local anesthesia.

  3. Impression or intraoral scan:
    A digital impression or a conventional impression of the teeth is then taken. On this basis, the dental laboratory fabricates customized veneers.

  4. Fitting and bonding:
    After completion, the veneers are first tried on and adjusted if necessary. Then the final bonding is carried out with a high-strength special adhesive.

  5. Aftercare:
    Regular check-ups at the dentist ensure a perfect result in the long term.

Care and durability of veneers

With the right care, veneers can last for many years. Please note

  • Thorough oral hygiene: Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and dental floss or interdental brushes

  • Dental hygiene appointments: Regular prophylaxis at the dentist helps to keep the gums and therefore the tooth structure under the veneers healthy

  • Avoiding hard foods: You should refrain from chewing very hard foods an refrain from habits such as chewing pencils or grinding your teeth

  • Caution with strongly staining substances: coffee, tea, red wine or nicotine can permanently discolor the transition areas between the veneer and tooth
