Veneers & Laminates in Delhi

A thin layer of the tooth's surface is prepared to fit the veneer, which is a permanent step, so the tooth will always need some form of covering afterward. Dr. Mathur will explain exactly how much preparation your tooth needs before starting.

Preparing the tooth is generally comfortable, often done with little or no anaesthesia needed for composite, and local anaesthesia for porcelain if preferred. Most patients describe the process as straightforward rather than painful.

Mild unevenness in shape or size, yes. Significant misalignment is better addressed with orthodontic treatment first, since a veneer changes the look of a tooth's surface, not its underlying position.

That's exactly what the shade and shape planning stage is meant to prevent. A well-matched veneer is built to blend with your remaining natural teeth, not to stand out as obviously different.

Porcelain resists staining quite well over its lifespan. Composite is more prone to picking up stains over time, particularly from coffee, tea, or smoking, though it can be polished or touched up.

A veneer covers just the front surface of a tooth and is a more conservative option. A crown covers the entire tooth and is generally used when a tooth is more significantly broken down or structurally weakened. See our Crowns and Bridges page for more on crowns.

Yes, that's the point of the shade and shape matching done before the veneer is made. A single veneer, done well, should be indistinguishable from the teeth around it.
