Types of Veneers Available
Composite veneers are applied directly to the tooth in a single appointment. They are the most affordable option and require minimal tooth preparation. They can chip or stain over time and typically last 5 to 7 years.
Porcelain veneers are fabricated in a dental laboratory from impressions of your prepared teeth. They are more durable, more stain-resistant, and more natural-looking than composite. They require removing a thin layer of enamel (0.3 to 0.7mm), which is irreversible.
E.max veneers (lithium disilicate) are a premium porcelain option known for their natural translucency. They are particularly popular for front teeth where a natural appearance is critical.
The Veneer Process in Penang
- Consultation (Day 1): Your dentist examines your teeth, discusses shade selection, and creates a treatment plan. Digital imaging may be used to preview the expected result.
- Preparation (Day 1 or 2): Teeth are prepared by removing a thin layer of enamel. Impressions are taken and sent to the dental lab. Temporary veneers are fitted.
- Fitting (Day 7 to 10): The permanent veneers are checked for fit, colour, and alignment, then bonded to your teeth.
For composite veneers, the entire process is completed in one appointment of 2 to 4 hours.
