About Veneers
A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain made to fit over the front surface of a tooth, like a false fingernail fits over a nail. Sometimes a natural-colour 'composite' material is used instead of porcelain. The Dental Cure Clinic offers veneers in Gurgaon for minor corrections in the smile. Our doctors use premium quality veneers in the procedure for natural results.

Different Types of Veneers at The Dental Cure
At The Dental Cure, we offer a variety of veneer options to cater to the unique needs and preferences of our patients. Understanding the different types can help you make an informed decision about which veneer is right for you.
1. Porcelain Veneers (Indirect Veneers)
Overview: Porcelain veneers are thin shells of medical-grade ceramic attached to the front side of the teeth for a smile transformation. They are designed to give a natural appearance to the dental enamel and are among the most reliable and popular procedures in cosmetic dentistry.
Placement of Porcelain Veneers:
- Preparation: The dentist removes a small amount of enamel from the front and sides of the teeth to make room for the veneers.
- Impression: An impression or mold of the prepared teeth is taken to create custom veneers that perfectly fit the tooth structure. The shade is selected to match the natural color of your teeth.
- Temporary Veneers: Temporary veneers are provided to wear while the permanent ones are being made in the dental laboratory.
- Final Placement: Once the custom-made veneers are ready, they are checked for perfect fit and shape. After ensuring they look natural and fit well, they are bonded to the teeth with minimal adjustments.
Pros:
- Natural-looking and aesthetic.
- Durable and long-lasting.
- Stain-resistant.
Cons:
- Requires enamel removal.
- More difficult to repair if chipped.
2. Composite Veneers (Direct Veneers)
Overview: Composite veneers, also known as bonded veneers, are made from tooth-colored composite resin. They offer a more conservative way to enhance your smile and can be applied in a single dental visit.
Placement of Composite Veneers:
- Bonding: The dentist bonds and sculpts the composite material directly onto the teeth, selecting a shade that best matches your natural teeth.
- Shaping: The teeth are reshaped as needed, and a special light is used to harden the composite and bond it to the teeth.
- Polishing: The veneers are polished and smoothed to create a natural appearance.
Pros:
- Less expensive than porcelain veneers.
- Quick application in a single visit.
- Repairable if chipped or stained.
Cons:
- Less durable than porcelain veneers.
- More prone to chipping and staining.
3. Componeers
Overview: Componeers are polymerized, prefabricated, enamel-shaded composite laminates. They are similar to placing a false fingernail on your nails and are used mainly for single-tooth reconstruction.
Placement of Componeers:
- Selection: Contour guides are used to select the perfect componeer for your teeth.
- Fitting: After careful grinding and shaping, the dentist ensures an exact fit for the tooth.
- Bonding: The componeer is bonded to the tooth in a single session, saving time and providing immediate results.
Pros:
- Quick application in a single session.
- Easy to repair.
- Does not wear away tooth structures.
Cons:
- Generally used for single-tooth reconstruction.
- May not be as natural-looking as porcelain veneers.
