Ceramic Veneers
Dental veneers:
personalized aesthetics for a natural and harmonious smile
Dental veneers are one of the most sought-after aesthetic treatments in modern dentistry, due to their ability to transform the smile quickly, safely and in a highly personalized way. They are thin ceramic sheets that are applied to the front surface of the teeth, with the aim of correcting imperfections and significantly improving the appearance of the smile.
What exactly are veneers?
They are small, highly resistant and durable ceramic pieces, custom-designed for each patient, to ensure naturalness, facial harmony and functionality. Once applied, they integrate perfectly into the smile, providing a healthy, luminous appearance that is aligned with the individual characteristics of each face.
What improvements do they allow?
With dental veneers it is possible to correct:
Color changes (deep stains, tooth darkening);
Shape irregularities (short, sharp or worn teeth);
Slight misalignments (no need for orthodontics);
Small spaces between teeth (diastema);
Asymmetries in the smile;
Fractures or chips.
This treatment allows you to change the color, shape, orientation, size and even length of your teeth, always with a natural and elegant final result.
Detailed planning
When it comes to aesthetic treatments such as the placement of dental veneers, one of the most important aspects is ensuring that the final result reflects the patient’s expectations, features, and personality. At LP CLINIC, we use Digital Smile Design (DSD) — an innovative and highly precise approach to planning the new smile.
See it before it’s done
With DSD, the patient can preview how their new smile will look even before any procedure begins. This digital planning is based on photographs, videos, and digital models of the patient’s face and mouth, ensuring a harmonious, natural, and personalised outcome.
How does Digital Smile Design work?
-
Capturing images and videos of the face and smile from different angles and expressions;
-
Detailed facial and dental analysis, considering proportions, symmetry, and individual features;
-
Digital simulation of the ideal smile, tailored to facial aesthetics and patient preferences;
-
Presentation of a digital mock-up, allowing the patient to approve or request changes before treatment begins;
-
Option to try a physical mock-up in the mouth to see and feel the smile before the final veneers are applied.
Benefits of DSD in veneer planning
-
Active involvement of the patient in creating their new smile;
-
Greater aesthetic and functional predictability;
-
More personalised and natural results;
-
Fewer surprises at the end of treatment;
-
Clear alignment between expectations and clinical reality.
Minimum Thickness
Nowadays, with the constant advancement of technology applied to Dentistry, especially in the field of ceramic materials, it is possible to offer patients increasingly conservative and effective aesthetic solutions. One of the great examples of this evolution are ultra-thin dental veneers.
Veneers are small ceramic sheets that are glued to the outer surface of the teeth, with the aim of improving the aesthetics of the smile, correcting color, shape, size or small imperfections in the alignment of the teeth. Thanks to innovation in materials, the thickness of these veneers can vary between 0.3 and 0.5 mm, that is, they are comparable to the thickness of a contact lens!
Thin, Discreet and Resistant
Despite their delicate appearance and reduced thickness — which can vary between just 0.3 and 0.5 mm — ceramic dental veneers are extremely resistant structures when correctly applied. This resistance is due not only to the quality of the material used, but above all to the technique of adhesion to the tooth enamel, which is essential for the success of the long-term treatment.
When bonded directly to the enamel through a highly controlled and precise cementation process, veneers become an integral part of the tooth. This combination (veneer + tooth) behaves very similarly to a natural tooth in terms of resistance to chewing and durability. In other words, even though they are thin, veneers are not fragile – on the contrary, when well executed and maintained, they can last for 10 to 15 years or more.
Reproduce Nature
Ceramic dental veneers are one of the most sought-after aesthetic solutions in modern dentistry today — and rightly so. Thanks to the evolution of materials and digital planning techniques, veneers can almost perfectly reproduce the shape, texture, color and shine of natural teeth, providing highly aesthetic results, but always with a natural appearance.
What truly sets this treatment apart is the fact that each smile is designed and designed individually. At LP CLINIC, we believe that no two smiles are the same, just as no two faces are the same. Each patient has unique characteristics — from the shape of their face, to their skin tone, the shape of their lips and the way they smile. All of these details are taken into account when planning your veneer treatment.
Tailor-made smiles
Dental aesthetics is not about "perfect teeth" in the abstract, but rather about finding balance and harmony between each person's smile and face. Therefore, before applying the veneers, we carry out a detailed study using photographs, videos, digital impressions and aesthetic tests (mock-ups), which allow the patient to visualize and approve the final result even before any permanent intervention.
The result? A smile that respects and values the patient's identity. No artificial or overly white smiles. The goal is a beautiful smile that always looks like yours.
