They are used to enhance the appearance of teeth and are also known as porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates. They are bonded to the front section of your teeth and accordingly their colour, length, size and shape also changes.

Ceramic Veneers are usually made using porcelain. In certain cases, resin composite materials can also be used to create veneers. However, studies have shown that porcelain veneers tend to resist stains way more than resin veneers. Porcelain veneers also have excellent light reflecting properties which make them more akin to normal teeth. However, the choice of veneer material should always be based upon your dentist’s advice.

Ceramic veneers do not need any special maintenance routine. You should have good oral hygiene habits which include brushing, flossing and rinsing from time to time with an antiseptic mouthwash. Porcelain veneers do not attract  stains due to its high polishability and glaze even after years of service. So, Go ahead, as this retains your bright smile forever.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1590135109394{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Case 1″ font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18px|text_align:left|color:%23666666″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1589727607592{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”BEFORE” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18px|text_align:left|color:%23b3b3b3″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1589542254413{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”765″ img_size=”full”][vc_custom_heading text=”AFTER” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18px|text_align:left|color:%23b3b3b3″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1589542238569{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”766″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”my-img-col” width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1590135115602{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”1710″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1589542974153{padding-top: 96px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1589544091502{padding-top: 40px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1590135121891{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Case 2″ font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18px|text_align:left|color:%23666666″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1589727617231{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”BEFORE” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18px|text_align:left|color:%23b3b3b3″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1589725194009{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”2208″ img_size=”full”][vc_single_image image=”770″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1588312125390{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”774″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1588312509422{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”776″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1588312543609{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”my-img-col” width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1590135127410{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”AFTER” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18px|text_align:left|color:%23b3b3b3″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1589725210477{padding-top: 78px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”2209″ img_size=”full”][vc_single_image image=”773″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1588312405824{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”775″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1588312527171{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”777″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1588312561439{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1589544191422{padding-top: 40px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1590135135618{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Case 3″ font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18px|text_align:left|color:%23666666″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1589727627158{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”BEFORE” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18px|text_align:left|color:%23b3b3b3″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1589725238184{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”2210″ img_size=”full”][vc_single_image image=”782″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1588312693262{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”784″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1588312832543{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”my-img-col” width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1590135142226{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”AFTER” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18px|text_align:left|color:%23b3b3b3″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1589725263670{padding-top: 78px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”2211″ img_size=”full”][vc_single_image image=”783″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1588312722041{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”785″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1588312839385{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1590135149552{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}”]” Patient reported with huge gap in front teeth, which made her smile look unpleasant and undesirable. After discussing various treatment options with the patient, Dr Santosh Dixit decided to go ahead with Ceramic veneers which helped the patient build the confidence back. Ceramic Veneers on the central and lateral incisors were done following the golden proportion and smile designing principles. “[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1590135156674{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Veneers – What To Expect?” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:24px|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1588313002478{padding-top: 70px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1590135162082{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text]A ceramic veneer ideally involves three visits to the dentist. The first visit is simply for consultation and the other two is for making and bonding the veneers. The first visit is for diagnosis and planning the entire treatment process. You should properly explain to your dentist what you are looking for. Highly experienced with 700+ ceramic veneer cases, Dr Dixit holds a strong expertise in determining the type of veneer which is appropriate for you and explain you the process and its limitations.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]For preparing your teeth for veneers, Dr Dixit will remove some amount of enamel from the tooth surface. After this, he will make a model of your teeth. This model is sent to the dental laboratory responsible for making your veneer. This process takes 4 working days.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Before your veneer is placed, your dentist will temporarily put it on your teeth to see if the fitting and the colour works. After this, your teeth will be cleaned, polished and etched to get it ready for the bonding process. This will be followed by applying special cement to the veneer which is then placed on your teeth. Your dentist will then use a light beam to harden and cure the veneer and remove any excess cement.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1590562256635{background-color: #f0f0f0 !important;}”][box_header title=”Call Us” bottom_border=”0″ class=”my-side-header blu-bg blu-col-hd”][vc_custom_heading text=”080 55440120″ font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:30px|text_align:center|color:%230ab8fd” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”blu-bg” css=”.vc_custom_1590666718746{margin-top: -40px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][box_header title=”OR” bottom_border=”0″ class=”my-side-header blu-bg sd-or”][box_header title=”Book an Appointment” bottom_border=”0″ class=”my-side-header blu-bg sd-apt”][ninja_form id=”2″][vc_empty_space height=”24px” el_class=”side-pt”][vc_single_image image=”714″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1590562263410{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Ceramic/Porcelain Veneers” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:16px|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1590562269938{padding-top: 8px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text el_class=”my-faq” css=”.vc_custom_1590562278345{padding-right: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}”]What problems can ceramic veneers fix?

The longevity period of a Veneer really depends on many factors like oral hygiene maintenance, regular follow ups etc. If maintained well, they do last for a really long time.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”my-faq” css=”.vc_custom_1590562307108{padding-right: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}”]What are the possible alternatives to ceramic veneers?
There are alternatives to veneers such as composite veneers and crowns. But ceramic veneers are the best of both worlds. They are ideal for people who would want to change the shape of their teeth in a subtle way. These people would not want to opt for the added baggage of a crown, so their perfect choice would be bonding or veneers.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
