Dental Veneers
What is a veneer?
A Veneer is thin material (0.5-1 mm. thickness) that cover the front part of the tooth. It was made from composite resin or ceramic. It was designed to mimic shade and shape of natural teeth to correct shape alignment space and shade of unesthetic teeth. At Global Dental Complex, we have Digital smile design technology that can shape your smile the way you want it.
What is veneer made from?
1. Composite resin: the same material as the tooth-colour filling.
2. Ceramic: More durable and best mimicking natural teeth.
When do I need veneer?
1. Discoloured teeth
2. Mild crowded teeth
3. Mild spacing teeth
4. Tooth shape discrepancy
Which one do I choose: veneer or crown?
Veneer is for correcting mild problems for esthetic purpose such as color, spacing, chipping, shape, and crowding. Therefore, small tooth structure will be removed or involved unlike a crown.
Crown is used to correct bigger problems such as large cavity, root canal tooth, or large tooth size discrepancy.
How many veneers do I need for my teeth?
It depends on the problems that you have. You will need a consultation with our cosmetic dentists to be able to come up with the decision. With digital smile design at Global Dental Complex, it will be the best way to explain how many veneers do you need for your teeth.
Veneers’ advantage

Veneers’ disadvantage
Since veneer is something that attach to your teeth, it can be dislodged, chipped, or broken. You have to stay away from eating hard food such as ice, bone, or nuts. Also, when the gum recede, you can see the junction between veneer and natural teeth.
