About Dental Veneers
Dental Veneers are thin, customised, tooth coloured shells used to close gaps between teeth or fix surfaces that have been cracked, chipped, or stained. Some people only need one veneer, while others may require six to eight veneers to get an equal, symmetrical smile.
At Smylo, our experts are trained to provide care and comfort for a pain-free treatment. Handpicked by renowned clinicians, every member of our team has a minimum of seven years of experience to ensure you’re in good hands.
Are Veneers Right for You?
Veneers suit teeth that are chipped, stained beyond whitening, slightly uneven or have small gaps. Your dentist may advise treating decay or gum disease first, and may suggest a night guard if you grind your teeth. If your teeth have very little enamel left, a crown may be the better option.
Veneers, Crowns, Bonding or Whitening?
| Option | What it does | Best when |
|---|---|---|
| Veneers | Thin shell over the front of a tooth | Shape, shade and small gaps need changing together |
| Crowns | Covers the whole tooth | The tooth is weak, broken or heavily filled |
| Dental bonding | Resin shaped onto the tooth in one visit | One small chip or gap |
| Teeth whitening | Lightens natural enamel only | Teeth are healthy but stained |
Caring for Your Veneers
- Brush twice a day and floss daily, as you would for natural teeth.
- Avoid biting nails, ice, pens or hard food with your front teeth.
- Wear a night guard if your dentist recommends one.
- Visit for a check-up and polish every 6 months.
How It Works
Diagnosis and treatment planning
Your dentist will take x-rays to evaluate your teeth to ensure if veneers are the best option for you. They will then proceed to formulate a treatment plan.
Preparation of teeth
The dentist will lightly scrape away some enamel from the tooth’s front and sides. This creates space for the veneers to fit seamlessly, for a more natural appearance.
Fabrication of veneers
To create your veneer, the dentist will create an impression of your teeth. The veneers require two to four weeks to be customised. In the interim, temporary dental veneers may be employed.
Bonding
The veneers are then positioned to ensure perfect fit, form, and colour. Your teeth may also be cleansed before permanently fixing the veneers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Dental Veneers at Smylo Dental.
Custom-made covers for your teeth's front surfaces are called dental veneers. They conceal discolouration, chips, cracks, gaps, and other cosmetic imperfections to create a brighter, more even smile.
Dental veneers generally cost between ₹9,000 and ₹20,000 per tooth in India. The final price depends on the material used, the complexity of the treatment, and your dentist's expertise.
Veneers provide a natural-looking smile, resist stains (especially porcelain veneers), improve the appearance of chipped or discoloured teeth, and are well tolerated by healthy gum tissue.
Veneers are a long-term solution but not permanent. Porcelain veneers typically last 10–12 years, while composite veneers generally last 4–8 years before they need replacement, depending on how well they are cared for.
Yes. Veneers are an excellent option for improving the appearance of cracked, misshapen, stained, or worn teeth. They offer a natural appearance, are completed in just a few visits, resist staining, and can significantly enhance your smile.
The three main types of veneers are porcelain, ceramic, and composite resin veneers. Your dentist will recommend the most suitable option based on your smile goals, budget, and oral health.
No. Dental veneers do not ruin healthy teeth when placed correctly by an experienced dentist. They improve the appearance of damaged or discoloured teeth. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups helps keep both your veneers and natural teeth healthy.
Most patients feel little or no pain. Your dentist numbs the area if needed, and mild sensitivity after preparation usually settles within a few days.
A veneer covers only the front of a tooth and needs little enamel removed. A crown covers the whole tooth and suits teeth that are weak, broken or heavily filled.
Your dentist may advise against or delay veneers if you have untreated decay or gum disease, grind your teeth heavily without a night guard, or have very little enamel left.
Brush twice a day, floss daily, avoid biting hard objects and attend regular check-ups. Your dentist may suggest a night guard if you grind your teeth.
Usually a planning visit, a preparation visit and a bonding visit. Custom veneers take about two to four weeks to make, and temporary veneers may be used while you wait.
Often yes. Veneers do not change colour once made, so your dentist may whiten your natural teeth first and match the veneer shade to the result.
