Porcelain Veneers & Laminates in Lucknow
Thin custom shells that improve the shape and colour of front teeth
Veneers (also called laminates) are thin, tooth-coloured shells bonded to the front surface of the teeth to improve their colour, shape, size or small gaps.
What are veneers?
Porcelain (ceramic) veneers are made in a dental lab to match your teeth; composite veneers are built directly on the tooth with tooth-coloured resin. They are mainly used on the teeth that show when you smile.
Usually a thin layer of enamel is removed so the veneer sits naturally. This step cannot be reversed, so veneers are a long-term choice to discuss carefully with your dentist.
Prepared tooth
A thin layer of enamel is gently reshaped so the veneer fits flush.
Bonding layer
A dental adhesive bonds the veneer firmly to the tooth.
Veneer
A thin porcelain or composite shell shaped and shaded to suit your smile.
Veneers can help with…
- Discoloured teeth that do not lighten with whitening
- Chipped or worn front teeth
- Small gaps between teeth
- Slightly uneven, short or misshapen teeth
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers & Laminates
- Improves colour, shape and size together
- Porcelain resists staining well
- Less tooth trimming than a full crown
- Shade and shape are customised to your smile
- Can close small gaps without braces
Results differ from person to person. Your dentist will explain what to expect in your case.
Veneers vs Crowns vs Composite Bonding
All three improve how teeth look; they differ in how much tooth is covered and trimmed.
| Feature | Porcelain veneers | Crowns | Composite bonding |
|---|---|---|---|
| Covers | Front surface of the tooth | The whole tooth | Only the area being repaired |
| Tooth trimming | A thin layer of enamel | More, all around the tooth | Little or none |
| Best for | Colour and shape of healthy front teeth | Weak, heavily filled or root-canal-treated teeth | Small chips and gaps |
| Staining | Resists stains well | Ceramic resists stains well | Can stain over time |
| Visits | Usually 2 or more (lab-made) | Usually 2 or more | Often 1 |
