Dental veneers

First, we talk – and you see the result in advance

Everything starts with a conversation: what bothers you, what you would like to change, what you want to keep.

We then carry out your digital assessment (photos, optical impressions, X-rays) and show you simulations of your future smile: different tooth shapes and shades, on your own face, and even on video thanks to software using artificial intelligence.

You compare, you choose, and you know exactly what to expect before treatment begins.

What is a veneer?

A veneer is a thin, custom-made shell of ceramic bonded to the visible surface of the tooth. It corrects the shape, shade and apparent alignment of your teeth, with a very natural result.

Depending on your situation, there are two approaches:

• “No-prep” veneers: they are bonded without drilling the tooth, after a simple cleaning. Your natural teeth are fully preserved.

• Conventional veneers: the tooth surface is very lightly prepared before they are placed.

Your treatment step by step

1. Consultation and digital assessment: we discuss your expectations and take photos, optical impressions and X-rays.

2. Preliminary care: if needed, we first treat cavities, gum problems or any other issue.

3. Simulation: you choose your future smile from several options.

4. Impressions and temporaries: we take very precise impressions with the optical camera, and you leave with temporaries that reproduce the smile you chose.

5. Check: a few days later, we review the shape and shade together.

6. Fabrication: Romain, our dental technician, makes your veneers.

7. Bonding: we bond your veneers, and your new smile is ready.

Aligning before veneers

When teeth are too crooked, we sometimes suggest straightening them first with clear aligners, usually for about six months.

Once the teeth are better positioned, veneers can be placed with little or no preparation – the preferred option for many patients who want to preserve their teeth.
