If you want to change the whole smile

When several concerns overlap, the smile is designed as one whole rather than tooth by tooth: facial midline, lip line and tooth proportion are planned together.

What veneers may change

  • Unify tone and proportion across upper and lower teeth
  • Redesign the smile arc from frontal and profile photos
  • Adjust shape, shade and length together

When veneers may not be suitable

  • A wider scope means more visits and more examination
  • Gum line or bite issues may need treating first

FAQ

How long does it take?
The overall treatment time is different for every patient and does not follow a fixed schedule. Your journey includes several critical stages, starting with a thorough dental examination and addressing any necessary preliminary treatments like fillings or gum care. Following this, the process involves designing the veneers, getting your approval, the laboratory fabrication phase, and the final clinical appointments. The time required for laboratory work is just one component of the entire clinical process. Ask your dentist to outline the expected sequence of steps after your initial assessment.
How many veneers?
The right number of veneers is a customized decision based on your individual smile, not a predetermined package. Your dentist will assess how many teeth show when you smile and speak to determine the ideal scope of treatment. The goal is to create a seamless, natural transition where the new veneers blend with your untreated teeth, avoiding any obvious color mismatches. Common numbers you may see are just examples and not recommendations. You should ask your dentist to evaluate your smile line and explain their recommendation for achieving a balanced and harmonious final look.
