Your Dental Veneers Journey
Initial Consultation
Your dentist examines your teeth and discusses your goals, to confirm veneers are the right fit for what you want.
Preparation
A small amount of enamel is removed from the tooth surface, to make room for the veneer.
Customisation
Impressions are taken to create custom veneers matched to your natural teeth.
Bonding
Your veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth using specialised cement and a curing light.
What Dental Veneers Cost
Porcelain veneers range from around Rs. 11,000 to Rs. 18,000 per tooth, while composite veneers range from around Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 7,000 per tooth. Your exact cost depends on the number of teeth being treated and the veneer type you choose, confirmed at your consultation.
Caring for Your Veneers
Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive, fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled brush, floss daily, and consider an antiseptic mouthwash. Avoid using your teeth to open packages or bite nails, and avoid chewing ice or hard sweets. If you grind your teeth, ask about a custom-fitted nightguard to protect your veneers, and keep up with regular check-ups at least twice a year.
An Important Consideration Before You Decide
Veneer preparation removes a small amount of enamel, which does not grow back, so it is worth knowing this is generally not reversible before you commit. Your dentist will talk you through this as part of your consultation, so the decision is made with full information rather than after treatment has already started.
Choosing Between Porcelain and Composite
Porcelain veneers are more durable and stain-resistant, and generally give a longer-lasting result, while composite veneers are less expensive and can often be completed in fewer visits. Neither option is automatically the right choice, your dentist will consider the condition of your teeth, your budget, and how long you want the result to last before recommending one over the other.
Who Dental Veneers Suit
Veneers, also known as dental laminates or teeth laminates, are commonly used to address discoloured teeth that do not respond well to whitening, chipped or worn teeth, gaps between teeth, and teeth that are slightly misaligned or uneven in size. They are not typically recommended for teeth affected by significant decay or gum disease, which usually need to be treated first, so your dentist will check the overall health of your teeth and gums before confirming you are a suitable candidate.
