What are veneers?

Veneers are porcelain covers that are attached to teeth to correct imperfections.

  • Repairs broken edges
  • Makes crooked teeth straighter
  • Fills gaps in between teeth

How it works

Preparation

The dentist takes a thin layer of the tooth enamel to make room for the porcelain veneer. Then we look at the desired color together with you.

Impression

We make an impression of your teeth for our dental technician so that he can correctly shape the veneers on the model. You will go home with temporary veneers.

Customization

In the laboratory, your veneers are made to measure & color by our dental technician.

Placement

The veneers will be placed after about two weeks. This will be performed by your dentist.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I clean my veneers?

A dental veneer does not require any additional maintenance. As always, you will have to keep your teeth clean. Brush with an electric toothbrush. Use toothpicks, brushes or floss regularly to clean between the teeth as well.

Does it hurt to get veneers?

A thin layer of the tooth enamel is usually what the dentist takes of first, so that the veneer fits well over the tooth and is comfortable. You can get anesthesia for this. When placing the veneers it is often not necessary to get anesthesia.

How long do veneers last?

Depending on the health of the tooth or molar that is underneath, a facing will last for many years. It is important to know that a facing is not completely insensitive to tooth decay. Keeping the facing and gums clean is therefore very important. In addition, we recommend that you do not bite off hard foods with veneers.

Are veneers covered by insurance?

You can request a budget with associated codes from our dentists prior to the appointment. This way you can check with your insurer what will be covered.

What is the difference in quality between porcelain and composite?

Porcelain veneers are made by a dental technician as indicated on this page and then placed on the tooth by the dentist. Composite veneers are applied directly to the tooth by the dentist. A composite veneer is cheaper than a porcelain facing. A porcelain veneer absorbs little or no color compared to the composite facing, where slight discoloration can occur, for example in smokers and in people who consume a lot of dyes from food and drinks.
