Piedras Negras Dental Clinic
Veneers
If you cover your mouth when you smile, veneers change that. Ultra-thin shells, designed tooth by tooth, for the smile you want to show.
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite bonded to the front surface of your teeth. In a single treatment they correct stains that whitening can't remove, worn or uneven edges, small gaps and shapes you don't like.
Each veneer is designed individually: we don't aim for 'catalog teeth,' but for a harmonious smile that suits your face and looks natural.

Smile design
We analyze your face, your smile and your expectations, and define shape, size and shade together.
Minimal preparation
We remove only tenths of a millimeter of enamel — sometimes almost none — so the veneer sits flush without looking bulky.
Custom fabrication
The lab crafts each veneer to the design. Meanwhile you wear temporaries to preview the new shape.
Final bonding
We bond each veneer with high-tech cements and fine-tune the bite and polish.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Porcelain or composite veneers?
Porcelain lasts longer (10–15 years), resists stains and has the best esthetics. Composite is more affordable and placed in a single visit, though it needs more frequent maintenance. We'll help you decide based on your case and budget.
Do veneers damage your teeth?
With conservative, well-indicated preparation, no. Enamel removal is minimal and the tooth stays protected under the bonded veneer.
How many veneers do I need?
It depends on your smile: some patients transform everything with 4, others need 8 or 10 for a harmonious result. We'll define the exact number at your evaluation.
