About This Treatment

Complete Smile Transformation with Veneers

A smile makeover with porcelain veneers at Dr. Kohila's Dental Centre in Salem is the ultimate cosmetic dentistry solution for achieving a perfect smile. Veneers are ultra-thin shells of medical-grade ceramic that are permanently bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth, instantly correcting color, shape, size, length, and alignment issues.

Veneers can address multiple aesthetic concerns including discolored teeth that don't respond to whitening, chipped or broken teeth, uneven or misaligned teeth, gaps between teeth, and worn-down enamel. Each veneer is custom-crafted to your specifications, allowing you to design your dream smile with input on tooth shape, size, and shade.

The treatment typically requires two visits - one for preparation and impressions, another for bonding. Results are immediate and dramatic, giving you a naturally gorgeous smile that looks and feels like high-quality natural teeth. With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years, making them a worthwhile investment in your confidence and appearance.

Common Questions

Smile Makeover FAQs – Your Questions Answered

Everything you need to know about transforming your smile with veneers.

Do you have to shave my teeth for veneers?

We practice minimally invasive dentistry. For traditional veneers, we remove a very thin layer of enamel (about 0.5mm, less than a fingernail thickness) to ensure the veneer doesn't look bulky. In some cases ("No-Prep Veneers"), we can place them with almost no removal. The procedure is painless and done under local anesthesia.

How long do veneers last?

Porcelain veneers are extremely durable and typically last 10-15 years or longer. They are stronger than natural enamel and highly resistant to staining. To make them last, avoid using teeth as tools (opening packages), wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth, and maintain good oral hygiene. They don't decay, but the tooth under them can!

Can I see what my smile will look like before treatment?

Yes! We use Digital Smile Design. We take photos of your current smile and digitally simulate the results so you can see your future smile before we touch your teeth. We can also create a "wax-up" model or a temporary "mock-up" that you can actually try on in your mouth to approve the shape and look!

Will veneers stain like natural teeth?

No! High-quality porcelain veneers are stain-resistant. They are non-porous, so coffee, tea, and wine won't penetrate the surface like they do with natural enamel. Your smile will stay bright and white for years. However, we still recommend regular cleaning to keep your gums healthy around the veneers.

Is the process reversible?

Because a small amount of enamel is removed, traditional veneers are considered irreversible – you will always need veneers or crowns on those teeth. However, the confidence and beauty they provide make it a life-changing decision that our patients never regret! We ensure you are 100% ready before starting.
