Laminate veneers are ultra-thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth. Only 0.3-0.5 mm is removed from the tooth; colour, shape, alignment and brightness transform in one treatment.
In Latin, "lamina" means leaf. It's a very thin, semi-translucent porcelain shell bonded to the front of the tooth — like a sticker, but permanent, strong and as beautiful as a natural tooth.
It solves discolouration, shape defects, gaps, chips and minor misalignment in a single treatment. The 8-10 teeth visible when you smile can be transformed at once — aesthetics and smile design combined.
Ideal when whitening isn't enough, or when shape and spacing also need changing.
A solution for tetracycline and fluorosis stains that don't respond to whitening.
Closes small fractures and cracks; restores the integrity of the tooth.
Closes gaps between front teeth naturally — without orthodontics.
A fast alternative for mildly crooked teeth — aesthetics instead of braces.
Teeth shortened by bruxism or acid wear can be rebuilt to full length.
For those who want a redesign — colour, form, proportion, symmetry, all at once.
Thickness, strength and light-transmission differ — the dentist picks per case.
Today's gold standard. As a glass-ceramic, light transmission is exceptional. High strength, long lifespan.
Traditional porcelain hand-layered one leaf at a time. Can be made ultra-thin (0.3 mm) — the most natural look. High art, longer process.
Pressed leucite-based ceramic. Fast manufacturing, homogeneous. Not as strong as E-max, but ideal when time is short.
Resin sculpted directly on the tooth. Done in a single visit, but more prone to chipping and staining than porcelain.
How much enamel is removed depends on your colour goal and tooth position. Three approaches.
Thin laminates bonded directly onto the tooth. A reversible option. Only a narrow case set: mild discolouration, small gaps.
The gold standard. Only a very thin front layer is removed. Most of the natural tooth is preserved, the veneer fit is perfect.
For severe discolouration, large shape corrections, or existing old restorations. Sometimes a crown is the better choice — dentist's call.

Nail biting, pen chewing, ice and bones — these cause chipping.
Won't stain — enjoy coffee, tea, red wine freely. Just skip sticky candy.
