Veneers

Enhance your smile with dental veneers in Singapore.

Looking to enhance your smile with a treatment that’s fast, effective, and natural-looking? Dental veneers offer a minimally invasive solution for improving the appearance of discoloured, chipped, or uneven teeth. Custom-made to suit your unique features, veneers can dramatically refresh your smile — often in just 7 – 10 days.

At i.Dental, prices start from $381.50 (including GST) per tooth, making veneers an affordable option for transforming your smile quickly.

What are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are thin, custom-made laminates designed to cover the front surface of teeth, effectively concealing imperfections such as chips, stains, misalignment, or gaps. Made from porcelain or composite resin, these veneers are crafted to match the colour and translucence of your natural teeth.

Unlike other restorative treatments, veneers focus on aesthetics while requiring minimal alteration of your existing tooth structure. They provide a long-lasting solution for those seeking a brighter, more symmetrical smile with results that blend seamlessly into your natural teeth.

Types of Dental Veneers

The 2 types of dental veneers are porcelain and composite veneers. Your dentist will recommend the best option to suit your condition, needs, preferences and lifestyle.

Porcelain veneers are thin shells customised to match the shape, shade and translucency of your natural teeth. They are permanently attached to your teeth.

Pros

  • Resistant to staining
  • More aesthetically pleasing
  • Lasts longer (10 to 15 years with proper care)

Cons

  • More expensive
  • Requires at least 2 dental visits to complete the procedure
  • Requires a longer time to attach onto the teeth
  • Irreversible as shaving down of the teeth to apply the veneer may be required
  • Cannot be repaired when damaged; will need to be replaced

Composite veneers are made of plastic or resin to match your natural teeth. Applied directly to the tooth’s surface, these veneers are sculpted and cured in a single visit, unlike porcelain veneers which are created in a laboratory.

Pros

  • Can be applied to the teeth in a single appointment
  • Cheaper option
  • Reversible, as shaving down of the tooth may not be necessary for the application
  • Can be repaired if damaged

Cons

  • Less resistant to discolouration and stains
  • Less durable and lasting (4 to 8 years with proper care)

What Is The Process Of Dental Veneer Treatment?

Initial Consultation

Your first visit involves a discussion of your dental goals and an oral health assessment to confirm your suitability for veneers. Your dentist will evaluate the fit, shape, and shade of the veneers and outline a detailed treatment plan, including costs.

Preparation of the Tooth

Your dentist will take impressions of your teeth to guide the dental lab in fabricating your veneers. If necessary, teeth are reshaped under local anaesthesia, and temporary veneers are placed to protect your teeth and assess aesthetics.

Placing the Veneer

Once your custom veneers are ready—typically within 7 to 10 days—your teeth are cleaned, and temporary veneers are removed. After any final adjustments, the veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth, completing your new smile.

What Dental Problems Can Veneers Help Fix?

Whether you’re dealing with discolouration, minor chips and cracked teeth or misalignment, veneers offer a minimally invasive way to enhance the overall appearance of your teeth while preserving their natural structure.

Veneers can effectively cover teeth that are deeply stained or discoloured, especially in cases where professional whitening treatments have little to no effect. They provide a long-lasting solution by masking intrinsic stains and helping you achieve a brighter, more consistent tooth colour.

If you have teeth that are chipped, cracked, or slightly worn down, veneers can restore their original shape and smoothness. Not only do they improve appearance, but they also add a layer of protection that helps prevent further damage.

For patients with small gaps between their teeth, veneers can serve as a cosmetic alternative to orthodontic treatment. By customising the shape and width of each veneer, dentists can close these spaces for a more even and seamless smile.

Veneers are a popular option for correcting the look of teeth that are uneven, slightly crooked, or irregular in shape. While they don’t physically move the teeth like braces do, they can create the appearance of a straighter, more uniform smile through carefully crafted design. However, if the misalignment is more severe, orthodontic treatments such as Invisalign or braces may be recommended for more effective results.

What Are The Benefits Of Getting Dental Veneers?

Getting teeth veneers isn’t just about improving the appearance of your teeth, it’s a decision that can have lasting effects on your confidence, oral health and overall quality of life.

Natural, Confidence-Boosting Results

Veneers are designed to mimic your natural teeth, enhancing your smile in a way that looks real and feels great!

Long-Lasting Durability

When properly cared for, veneers can last 10–15 years or more, making them a long-term solution for cosmetic dental concerns.

Minimally Invasive Procedure

Compared to crowns or orthodontic treatments, veneers require less removal of natural tooth structure and offer a minimally invasive way to improve your smile.

FAQs About Veneers

Veneers improve the appearance of the entire tooth by attaching a thin porcelain or composite shell over your natural tooth.

On the other hand, teeth bonding involves altering the appearance of a part of your tooth. This is done by bonding a composite resin material to a chipped, broken or discoloured tooth. This procedure tends to be a more cost-effective option compared to veneers.

Learn more about the differences between veneers vs teeth bonding to better understand which option may be suitable for you.

 
 

While veneers improve the look of your smile, dental crowns help to improve both your teeth’s function and appearance. Aside from this, other differences include:

  • Coverage
    Veneers are bonded to the front of the teeth while dental crowns are placed over the entire tooth.
  • Durability
    Crowns are more durable than veneers, which may need to be replaced after a couple of years.
  • Material
    Veneers are made of porcelain or composite material. On the other hand, dental crowns can be made of a wide range of materials including metal, porcelain, resin, ceramic or porcelain fused to a metal alloy.
  • Thickness
    Crowns tend to be slightly thicker than veneers.

Local anesthesia will be used to ensure you’re comfortable during the veneer application, although you might feel some sensitivity in your teeth afterwards. As such, your dentist may prescribe painkillers to help with the sensitivity, and you are advised to avoid foods that are overly hot or cold.

If you experience persistent pain, consult your dentist.

No, MediSave cannot be used for veneers as the procedure is a cosmetic one. MediSave can only be used for surgical procedures like dental implants or wisdom tooth surgeries.

Additionally, CHAS subsidies will not be available.

Veneers are an irreversible and permanent dental process as it usually involves removing a thin layer of enamel from the front of your teeth. Once this enamel is removed, it does not grow back.

The veneers itself, however, are not permanent. Porcelain veneers have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years while composite veneers can last 4 to 8 years. They will need to be replaced or repaired when they are damaged.

Veneers, especially those made of porcelain, are known for their stain resistance, but that does not mean they will stay pristine white forever. Proper care and maintenance are essential to maintain their appearance over the years.

Dental veneers may be right for you if you have:

  • Chipped teeth
  • Gaps between teeth (also known as diastema)
  • Mild misalignment
  • Deep stains from medication not removable by teeth whitening procedures
  • Oddly shaped or worn-down teeth

Veneers are generally not suitable for children with primary teeth or those with severe dental issues such as gum disease, extensive tooth decay, or significant misalignment. Individuals who frequently grind their teeth may also need alternative treatments.

Maintaining your veneers is straightforward with these tips:

  • Practise Good Oral Hygiene: Regular brushing and flossing, along with professional dental cleanings, are essential. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and floss gently to keep your veneers in good condition.
  • Choose the Right Toothpaste: Use a non-abrasive toothpaste to avoid scratching the veneer surfaces.
  • Limit Stain-causing Foods and Drinks: Reduce consumption of foods and beverages like coffee, tea, wine, and heavily coloured spices that can stain your veneers.
  • Avoid Hard Foods: Prevent damage such as chips or cracks in your veneers by not biting down on hard objects like ice, hard candies, or bones.
