About This Procedure

What are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin ceramic shells custom-crafted to fit over the front surface of your teeth. They correct discolouration, chips, gaps, mild crowding, and irregularities — delivering a uniform, natural-looking smile designed specifically for your face.

Shanghai's dental clinics use high-grade ceramic and digital smile design technology to produce veneers that match your facial features and aesthetic preferences with precision. The lab work is completed to exacting standards within your trip timeframe.

Common Questions

Veneers FAQ

Do porcelain veneers damage your teeth?

A minimal amount of enamel (typically 0.3–0.5mm) is removed to allow the veneer to sit flush. This is a permanent, irreversible process, so the decision should be considered carefully with your dentist.

How many teeth can be veneered?

Most clients veneer 6–10 upper front teeth for a balanced smile transformation. Your dentist will recommend the ideal number based on your goals and facial proportions.

How long do porcelain veneers last?

With proper care, porcelain veneers last 10–15 years. Avoiding biting hard objects, wearing a night guard if you grind, and maintaining good oral hygiene significantly extend their lifespan. Read our full guide on veneer longevity →

Is the veneer procedure painful?

Teeth preparation is done under local anaesthesia. Some sensitivity is normal for a few days after preparation and placement, which subsides quickly. See the full step-by-step procedure walkthrough →
