About dental veneers
Advantages of dental veneers
Dental veneers are ultra-thin ceramic membranes, custom-made and applied to the visible surface of your teeth to improve their shape or shade and enhance your smile.
Dental veneers can be used to correct yellowed or grayish teeth when whitening is insufficient, to correct alignment problems as a complement to orthodontic treatment, or to strengthen damaged or cracked teeth.

Functionality: Mastication, phonetics, your dentist will make sure that your veneers meet all the functional criteria to guarantee their comfort and longevity.

Before and after pictures
Smiledesign procedure with facets
Treatment begins with a case study to model your mouth in 3D. Your dentist will take a panoramic X-ray, special impressions and extra- and intra-oral photographs.
He then designs a new temporary smile using innovative digital planning tools.
A second appointment takes place 2 weeks later. The aesthetic project is presented to you using physical or digital simulations. We will present you with a precise estimate for the entire treatment.
Sometimes, a perfectly temporary and painless trial run is offered to give you an idea of what your new smile will look like.
If the project is approved, the third appointment will allow us to prepare your teeth for future veneers, make the impression for the ceramist to create your new smile, and finally place the temporary veneers on your teeth for a period of approximately 10 to 14 days.
The fourth appointment is devoted to fitting the final veneers. You’ll then be able to discover your new permanent smile .
Of course, if any final corrections are required, these are perfectly feasible a few days after your veneers have been fitted.
Aftermath
Most patients forget they have veneers after a month or so, as the facial muscles adapt to the new teeth and make them look more natural than the day they were fitted.
The results
If treated correctly, veneers should retain a pleasing look and feel for up to 15 years after installation.

Associated treatments
Dental veneers can sometimes be combined with invisible orthodontic treatment using ALIGNERS.
Even if it’s preferable to complete ALIGNERS treatment before veneers, this isn’t always possible. Invisible orthodontics won’t damage veneers.
Dental implants
The principle of dental implants is to replace the root of a tooth with a titanium screw inserted into the gum to support a fixed prosthesis such as a crown or bridge. This technique is ideal for replacing one or more missing or badly damaged teeth, and offers a very natural result.
