The procedure

What are porcelain veneers?

A porcelain veneer is a thin shell of ceramic bonded to the front surface of a tooth to change its colour, shape, or alignment. Veneers are used for smile makeovers: closing gaps, correcting mild crowding, masking discolouration, and reshaping worn or uneven teeth.

Our clinics use Emax (lithium disilicate) pressable ceramics, the current gold standard for veneer materials. Emax offers exceptional translucency that mimics natural enamel, combined with flexural strength that resists chipping. Each veneer is handcrafted in the clinic's on-site ceramics lab, allowing direct collaboration between your clinician and the ceramist.

Preparation is conservative: only 0.3 to 0.5mm of enamel is removed from the front surface. Digital smile design maps the ideal proportions before any tooth is touched, so you see and approve the expected result in advance. Same materials, same techniques, same specialists. At a fraction of the price.

Clinic vetting

Every clinic is vetted before you see it

Cosmetic dentistry demands precision. Shade matching, preparation symmetry, and ceramic artistry separate an average result from an exceptional one. Our Advisory Board, chaired by senior dental academics, sets the criteria every clinic must meet.

MDS cosmetic dentistry specialist

Every veneer case is handled by a specialist with a Master of Dental Surgery in conservative dentistry or prosthodontics. Not a general dentist.

Digital smile design workflow

Photo analysis, digital mockup, and shade simulation before any preparation. You see and approve the expected result first.

On-site ceramics laboratory

Emax veneers fabricated in-house. Direct communication between clinician and ceramist. No external lab delays.

Emax lithium disilicate only

We do not offer composite or low-grade porcelain for international patients. Emax provides the best combination of strength, translucency, and longevity.

Common questions

Veneer FAQs

How long do porcelain veneers last?

Emax porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years with proper care. Longevity depends on oral hygiene, diet, and whether you grind your teeth. Our clinics use lithium disilicate pressable ceramics, which offer the best combination of strength and translucency available today.

Do veneers damage your natural teeth?

Conservative preparation removes only 0.3 to 0.5mm of enamel from the front surface of each tooth. This is significantly less than a full crown preparation. Our cosmetic specialists use digital smile design to plan the minimal preparation needed for each case. The result is a strong bond that protects the underlying tooth.

Can I choose the shade of my veneers?

Yes. During the digital smile design session on Day 1, you and your cosmetic specialist select the shade, shape, and translucency together. A digital mockup shows you the expected result before any preparation begins. Adjustments can be made at the try-in stage before final bonding.

How long do I need to stay in India for veneers?

A typical veneer case takes 5 to 7 days. Day 1 for consultation and digital planning, Day 2 for tooth preparation and temporary veneers, then 2 to 3 days while the lab fabricates your permanent veneers, followed by try-in and final bonding. Recovery is minimal since no surgery is involved.

What is the difference between Emax and composite veneers?

Emax (lithium disilicate) veneers are lab-fabricated porcelain with superior strength, colour stability, and natural translucency. Composite veneers are applied directly and are less expensive but stain over time and typically last 5 to 7 years compared to 10 to 15 for porcelain. Our clinics exclusively use Emax for international patients.
