Dental Veneers in ECR Chennai
Veneers are thin facings bonded to the front of your teeth to change shape, shade or minor alignment. Done well, nobody can tell. Done badly, they read as false from across the room. The difference is proportion, translucency and restraint — and a willingness to say no when a case would be better treated with aligners or whitening instead.
Veneers Are Not Always the Answer
If your teeth are simply stained, whitening is cheaper and removes no tooth structure. If they are crooked, aligners move them without cutting them. Veneers are for shape, chips, worn edges, stubborn intrinsic discolouration and small gaps — and they are irreversible where enamel is reduced. We will tell you if a simpler option gets you the same result.
What We Offer
Every mouth is different. After examining you, Dr. Priya recommends the option that fits your case.
Porcelain Veneers
Custom-made in a laboratory, highly stain-resistant and the most natural in the way they handle light.
Composite Veneers
Built directly onto the tooth in a single visit. Less costly and reversible, though more prone to staining over time.
Edge Bonding
For chipped or worn incisal edges, a small addition rather than a full facing on the tooth.
Diastema Closure
Closing a gap between the front teeth where orthodontics is not wanted or not suitable.
What Veneers Ask of You
Porcelain is strong in compression and brittle in shear — which means veneers dislike being used as tools. Biting nails, opening packets and heavy night grinding are what chip them. If you grind, a night guard is not optional. Look after them and they last many years.
