Veneers and whitening.
Cosmetic dentistry covers ceramic veneers, professional whitening, and composite restorations, planned from a digital smile analysis (smile design). You see a simulation of the projected result before any tooth is touched.
The aesthetic options
Every smile is different; the plan is built around your anatomy and goals:
- Ceramic veneers — feldspathic or e.max, chosen to suit the case.
- Professional whitening — in-office or at-home with custom trays.
- Composite restorations — close a diastema, correct a shape, restore wear.
- Occlusal rehabilitation — for cases combining aesthetics and function.
Digital smile design
Every aesthetic plan begins with a computer-aided smile analysis. This simulation lets you visualize the project — shape, proportions, shade — and adjust before any irreversible treatment. Aesthetics are never separated from function: a beautiful smile must also be one that works.
A conservative approach
Preserving natural tooth structure remains the first goal. When a less invasive option achieves the result — whitening rather than veneers, composite rather than a crown — it is preferred.
Frequently asked questions
- Do veneers damage the teeth?
- Modern veneers are conservative: preparation removes a thin layer of enamel, sometimes minimal. Prior analysis and simulation determine the thickness needed and preserve as much of the natural tooth as possible.
- Is professional whitening more effective than over-the-counter?
- Yes. Professional concentrations and custom trays deliver a more uniform, lasting result, with supervision that protects the gums and enamel.
