Perhaps getting dental composite veneers is the decision you've been putting off for a while, while you hide your smile in every picture or put your hand over your mouth whenever you laugh.

Before and after cases of veneer installation

Sometimes a single picture summarizes what entire pages of explanation cannot. Therefore, we have compiled real pictures of patients who had dental veneers installed in our clinic, and we have written a short medical note under each picture, including the problem the patient came for, and how the veneers solved it.

First condition: pale color and irregular edges

  • The original problem was that the front teeth had a yellowish color that varied from tooth to tooth, and their edges were uneven, so the smile looked dull and inconsistent.
  • Applying dental composite veneers gives teeth a uniform and bright color, and corrects their shape and lengths to appear in a regular row, so the smile becomes brighter and more balanced.

The second condition: dark pigmentation and noticeable erosion in the jaws

  • The problem was brown and dark stains covering most of the upper and lower teeth, with erosion and breakage at their edges and a large difference in shape and color between one tooth and another.
  • After careful examination and preparation of the teeth before installation, the veneers completely concealed the discoloration and fractures, and gave the jaws a uniform white smile with teeth that were consistent in shape and length.

Third condition: Yellowing and gaps between the lower teeth

  • The original problem was unevenly colored yellow teeth, with obvious gaps between the lower front teeth, and variations in tooth lengths and shapes.
  • The veneers closed the gaps, unified the color of the teeth in the jaws, and adjusted their lengths and shapes, so the smile became complete and harmonious.

Are you the ideal candidate for dental veneers?

If you suffer from stubborn stains that do not respond to whitening, or noticeable gaps between your teeth, or cracks that distort the appearance of your smile, then dental composite veneers are your reliable solution that restores your teeth to their harmonious shape.

You may have tried more than one way to hide these imperfections, or you have gotten used to smiling cautiously so that your teeth do not show. This is precisely where veneers come in. They do not just hide the problem temporarily, but completely change the shape of your smile to look as you have always wished it to be.

The truth is that those who benefit most from dental composite veneers are individuals with healthy teeth that only have minor cosmetic imperfections; the idea here is to enhance what is fundamentally sound. To be a suitable candidate, you must possess two qualities:

  • Healthy, problem-free gums.
  • Strong and firm teeth.

However, the final word rests with the treating physician. There are cases where dental veneers are not the appropriate option, and this is determined by the examination and personal assessment of your case, not by the general impression.

Our veneer installation steps (painless)

The process of getting dental veneers at Innova clinics goes through several carefully planned stages, the goal of which is to achieve the result that matches what you wish for, while maintaining your comfort at every step.

And so that curiosity doesn't kill you, we'll take you on a quick tour of these stages, so you know exactly what awaits you from the moment you enter the clinic until you leave with your new smile:

Medical consultation The process begins with a calm session with the doctor, during which he learns what you expect from your smile and assesses the health of your teeth and gums to ensure that the veneers meet your needs. After that, a comprehensive examination is performed, including X-rays, to determine the true condition of your teeth and whether you need any treatment before starting to install dental veneers or not. This stage is extremely important, as it ensures that the veneer will be placed on a sound basis, and that your expectations are clear and agreed upon from the beginning.

Material selection and shape design Choosing the right material depends on your preferences and budget. Porcelain and dental composite veneers are among the most popular options. At the same time, the shape and color of the veneer are determined so that it blends with your natural teeth and gives you the look you are looking for. The goal here is for no one to notice that you have veneers in the first place, but only to notice that your smile has become more beautiful and brighter.

Careful treatment planning Before any procedure, the doctor gathers as much information as possible about your teeth through photographs and X-rays. In some cases, we use digital technology to build a three-dimensional model of your teeth. It is worth noting that this examination helps in reaching the ideal shape of the veneer before it is manufactured. This is what makes the difference between an ordinary result and a result that looks exactly like you.

Preparing your teeth for veneers Here's what happens at that stage, in order:

  • Local anesthesia: The doctor may use it so that you do not feel any pain during the preparation.
  • Thorough cleaning: Your teeth are thoroughly cleaned of any deposits or tartar that may affect the adhesion of the veneers.
  • Removing a thin layer of enamel: The doctor removes a very thin layer of enamel, approximately 0.5 mm, to provide the appropriate space for the veneer.
  • Taking the prints: Accurate impressions of your teeth are taken using special materials and sent to the laboratory to customize your dental composite veneers to your exact measurements.
  • Temporary veneers when needed: In some cases, we will place a temporary veneer to protect your teeth until the permanent veneer is ready.
  • Color selection: The color of the veneer is determined according to the color of your natural teeth, so that the result looks harmonious and not artificial.
