Check-up and Digital Imaging
A six-monthly examination: intraoral check, digital X-ray if needed and a written summary of the day. A record is kept even when nothing is found; the next check-up is compared against it.
DetailsA veneer is a porcelain leaf about half a millimetre thick, bonded to the outer surface of a front tooth. Unlike a crown, only a very thin layer is removed from the front face — or none at all.
The process
- Examination, intraoral scan and photographs of the current situation
- Digital planning; shape and length tried in the mouth with a temporary mock-up
- Minimal preparation and impression; temporary veneers
- Try-in and bonding of the laboratory-made veneers
Who it does not suit
With clenching or grinding, marked crowding or teeth with large fillings, other options are discussed instead. Colour expectations are also settled at the first visit: the shade is chosen to match the neighbouring teeth.
This page is general information and does not replace a dental examination. Whether the treatment suits you, and the method and duration, are decided only after an intraoral examination and radiographic assessment.
After treatment
Avoid hard and strongly coloured food for 24 hours after bonding. A night guard is used if you grind. Check-up every six months.
