WHAT ARE PORCELAIN DENTAL VENEERS?
Porcelain dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain bonded to the front of the tooth. They recreate the function and appearance of tooth enamel, with properties equivalent to those of enamel and, in some cases, even superior.
It is a bioaesthetic and biomimetic treatment that goes unnoticed by others. Thanks to the bonding system used, the veneers do not come off, and they do not cause secondary decay.
It is usually used for patients who want to make small changes to their smile in terms of size, position (crowded teeth or diastemas, that is, gaps between teeth), color or the overall appearance of their teeth.
For smile design, we have found a key ally in porcelain veneers, as they are an efficient, minimally invasive treatment for discovering the perfect canon for your smile. In some cases (such as the Veneer Esthetic Plus® treatment we use, explained below), we only minimally touch the tooth structure, which makes it a reversible treatment.
BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES OF PORCELAIN VENEERS
NATURAL-LOOKING TEETH
The more personalized and the higher the quality of the materials used in dental veneers, the better they will look, to the point of being completely “indistinguishable” from the rest of the teeth.
Personalization and individualization
Aesthetic porcelain veneers allow for precise personalization, especially when the latest digital dentistry protocols are used, as is the case with the Digital Dentofacial Aesthetic Analysis® that we have developed and patented at Clínica Dental Fernando Soria.
They are completely biocompatible
Porcelain behaves as a perfectly biocompatible material, both with the gum tissue and with any other tissue in the mouth.
They outperform natural enamel
The highly personalized treatment we provide at our clinic, together with the high quality and technology of the veneers we use, allows us to achieve a resistance identical to that of enamel, and even greater when it comes to the stains caused by food and various everyday habits.
Versus crowns
Treatment with porcelain veneers is much less “intrusive” than treatment with crowns, and in some cases not intrusive at all (depending on the patient’s needs), because little or no work needs to be done on the tooth.
Painless
Aesthetic porcelain veneers do not require anesthesia, since the treatment only polishes the tooth enamel, without grinding it down.
Painless
Aesthetic porcelain veneers do not require anesthesia, since the treatment only polishes the tooth enamel, without grinding it down.
Fast and safe
Placing porcelain veneers is very simple and quick, and the treatment can be reversible, since we do not touch the tooth structure. With them, we live up to our motto: “you come in with a smile and you leave with a smile.”
They don’t change color
Time does not affect porcelain veneers as far as color changes are concerned, unlike composite veneers, especially low-quality ones.
Chemical bonding to the tooth
The high efficiency and effectiveness of aesthetic porcelain veneer treatment keep the veneers from coming off, giving the patient maximum comfort, security and confidence.
Suitable for any patient, age or gender
There are no limitations on treatment with porcelain veneers, because they meet the needs of any patient seeking advanced dental aesthetics.

VENEER ESTHETIC PLUS® PORCELAIN VENEERS
Veneer Esthetic Plus® veneers are a premium aesthetic dental treatment that uses high-quality porcelain veneers custom-made for each patient. The treatment has no side effects and can be reversible.
This system does not use preformed veneers made of ceramic. Instead, its veneers are made individually, based on the Digital Dentofacial Aesthetic Analysis® of your oral structure, to restore the canon of a perfect 10 smile to your mouth, permanently improving the shape, color, size and three-dimensional alignment of your teeth.
These veneers are made by the prestigious Instituto Oral Design, following artistic, handcrafted criteria that tailor your treatment to your particular needs and to those arising from the shape and nature of your face.
A painless treatment, fast and individualized, which consists of polishing the enamel, without grinding it down, to achieve a perfect bond between the tooth and the new extra-thin porcelain veneers. These are handcrafted by Oral Design uniquely for each patient, according to your needs and to suit your face, using CAD-CAM digital impression technology.
Veneer Esthetic Plus® is a custom-made treatment of unsurpassed quality, with a 15-year warranty. All of this sets these veneers well apart from standard, preformed veneers, mass-produced in a single-color monoblock, whose low price always comes with a total lack of naturalness.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT PORCELAIN VENEERS
WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT INVOLVE?
First, we perform the Digital Dentofacial Aesthetic Analysis® to understand your wishes and goals as a patient. Next, the tooth is prepared.
Then an impression of your teeth is taken and sent to the dental laboratory, where your individualized, personalized porcelain veneers are made.
At the third appointment, we do a try-in to check color, shape and size and, in the same session or the next one, our specialist bonds the veneers to your teeth with a special chemical bonding material.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I WANT TO CHANGE OR REMOVE MY VENEERS?
In general, the treatment is reversible, since the tooth structure remains in place. Tooth preparation is becoming increasingly minimal, so we preserve the natural teeth beneath the veneers.
DO PORCELAIN VENEERS STAIN?
Porcelain veneers do not stain from things like coffee, tobacco or wine. However, it is important to keep up good oral hygiene and good habits: brushing and cleaning with dental floss or a Waterpik.
Once you have selected the desired veneer color, it will stay that way forever.
CAN CAVITIES APPEAR UNDER THE VENEERS?
This is very unlikely to happen. It could occur at the lateral margins, and in that case the cavity would be treated from the back of the tooth, without affecting the porcelain veneer.
CAN I GET PORCELAIN VENEERS IF I HAVE BRUXISM?
There is no reason why patients who suffer from bruxism cannot have porcelain veneer treatment, but what we recommend, after more than 10 years of experience, is that, if you have bruxism, you wear an occlusal splint (night guard) regularly to avoid wearing down the porcelain prematurely.
