Veneers

Dental veneers in Durrës: veneers are thin layers bonded to the front of the teeth to change their shape, colour or size. At Smile Office the decision is made at a consultation, because the tooth surface often has to be reduced slightly.

When veneers are chosen

• Stained teeth that do not respond to whitening.
• Chipped, worn or irregular teeth.
• Small gaps or minor position corrections when orthodontics is not needed.

How treatment works

1. Consultation and a check of the teeth and gums.
2. A written plan and price.
3. Preparing the teeth and taking an impression or scan.
4. Trying in the veneers and bonding them in place.
5. Checking the bite after placement.

What to know

• When the tooth surface is reduced, the change is permanent and the tooth always needs a covering.
• Veneers do not whiten, so the shade is chosen before placement.
• Grinding your teeth at night damages veneers. A night guard is then needed.
• Veneers may need replacing over time.

Frequently asked questions

How many visits do veneers take?

Usually two or more, because veneers are made from an impression of your teeth. The exact number is in your written plan.

How are the shape and shade chosen?

Shape and shade are chosen with you before placement, based on the neighbouring teeth and your face. At the consultation the dentist explains the plan and its limits.

Compare with dental bonding, see before and after cases, or contact the clinic.
