Porcelain veneers in Poland
Veneers are used in cosmetic dentistry to reshape and improve the look of natural teeth that might be damaged, discoloured, crooked or chipped. Veneers are usually made of porcelain, although composite material is also used.
Dental veneers steps:
Discoloured, chipped or cracked teeth can benefit from a veneer. A thin layer of the tooth surface is shaved off and a veneer is made to fit perfectly, protecting the tooth underneath.
Step 1: Dentist checks the patient’s bite and the condition of the tooth
Step 2: The surface of the tooth is trimmed and the impression for a veneer taken and send to the laboratory
Step 3: Newly fabricated porcelain veneer arrives and is matched with other teeth
Step 4: Veneer is cemented permanently onto the earlier prepared tooth

- Porcelain crowns, also used in cosmetic dentistry, are stronger and more durable than veneers
Questions on veneers:
Why are veneers so popular?
Popularity of veneers is due to the fact that they can make broken, discoloured or crooked teeth look natural and healthy again. Very little preparation of the tooth is needed as veneers are thin – often as thin as a fingernail.
When veneers are needed?
Usually, veneers are applied on front teeth that are damaged, broken, chipped or discoloured. They improve the shape and colour of the teeth. Veneers are also used to cover the small gaps between the teeth, although orthodontic treatments are required for bigger gaps. When fitting a veneer, the dentist will chose the right shade of porcelain so the new tooth looks whiter and is stain-free. They are rarely applied after the root canal treatment.
Are there any alternatives?
Yes. Dental crowns are also used in cosmetic dentistry to restore damaged teeth. Porcelain crowns are better suited when the damage to the tooth is greater and in cases where the patient has an overbite. Sometimes, white fillings or bonding material can be used for minor repairs to front teeth.
How long do they last?
Veneers will last for many years if taken care of properly. Veneers can be replaced if needs be.
How much damage is done to your natural tooth to fit a veneer?
Very little. Only the tiny amount of outer enamel is usually removed. Once the tooth has been trimmed and prepared, the dentist will take an impression and, along with other necessary information, send to the laboratory for fabrication.
Is the treatment painful?
The treatment is rarely painful as only the slight surface of the tooth is removed. However, local anaesthesia is applied if a patient feels discomfort during the treatment.
How many visits are needed?
Usually two. First to assess if veneers can be fitted, prepare the tooth and take impressions. Second to fit veneers and get rid of any imperfections. Veneers can be trimmed and shaped a little more by your dentist to make them look perfect. Bonding a veneer in place is done with a special adhesive, which holds it firmly on the tooth. There is no need for a temporary veneer in between visits. The dentist will secure the prepared tooth so it is protected untill your final visit.
What happens after the treatment?
Once fitted, only the small adjustments can be made. Veneers can be occasionally polished after the treatment.
How much do veneers cost?
Porcelain veneers cost up to £1000 in the UK, making the “Hollywood Smile Makeover” rather expensive. However, Dentists in Poland charge only £290 per porcelain veneer and we additionally give you a guarantee for your peace of mind.
Veneers and diastema
What is diastema?
Diastema is a term for a 'gap' between teeth - often between front teeth. It is common among children as more than half of children up to age of 8 have it. Usually the gap disappears once the mouth and teeth have fully developed but if not, the dentist or orthodontic specialist will be able to help.
What causes it?
There following factors can cause diastema:
- Abnormal bone structure
- Large tongue may push the teeth forward
- Irregular or over bite
- Tissue that builds up between the teeth
- Gaps between teeth can impact the speech and aesthetics of your smile.
How can the dentist help?
There are many treatments available - restorative, surgery and orthodontic. Treatment choices differ, and can only be offered after the correct diagnosis. A dentist needs to look closely at the patients medical and dental history, take necessary X-rays and carry out clinical examinations. It is often more important to treat the cause of the diastema, rather than simply focusing on correcting the gap.
