Ceramic Dental Veneers
Ceramic dental veneers are a quick cosmetic dental procedure that allows the dentist to correct the shape, size, position, and color of your natural teeth. They are used for fractured teeth, dark teeth, or misaligned teeth.
Cases where ceramic dental veneers are most suitable:
● Diastemas (spaces between teeth)
● Aesthetically displeasing teeth (colored or with old pigmented fillings)
● Chipped or fractured teeth
● Dark or grey teeth that cannot be whitened with traditional whitening methods
● Crooked teeth
● Small teeth
The ceramic veneer is physically a very thin layer of ceramic that is glued to the outer part of the tooth, creating a magnificent natural effect.
With our smile preview method, the digital smile plan, you can preview how your new smile will look with dental veneers. The result of this treatment will be natural and balanced with your face.

Dental Veneers: Minimal Invasiveness!
The application procedure is non-invasive and requires a dental preparation of maximum 0.2-0.5 mm. In cases where the teeth are small, worn, or with spaces between them, there is no need to prepare the tooth, and we can use the so-called “NO-Prep” technique.
Superior Ceramics with
Natural Shape and Surfaces
Dental veneers are thin translucent ceramic laminates, very similar to young and permanent teeth, and are permanently glued to the enamel of the teeth. The ceramic veneers are produced by the skilled hand of the specialized dental technician, with the shape and surface of natural teeth allowing a result indistinguishable from teeth created by nature itself.
Lasting Over 20 Years!
Although they are delicate restorations, once dental veneers are glued to dental enamel, they have a surprising hold. Quality and resistance over time are the values that guide us, which is why we use advanced technologies like the microscope and the latest generation ceramic materials, ensuring extreme precision. Thanks to these high standards, they are designed to last over 20 years, guaranteeing you a long-term dazzling smile.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Although dental veneers are suitable for the vast majority of cases, there are situations where they are not the ideal solution.
– Diastemas (spaces between teeth)
– Chipped or fractured teeth
– Aesthetically displeasing teeth (colored or with old pigmented fillings)
– Dark or grey teeth that cannot be lightened with traditional whitening methods
– Crooked teeth
– Small teeth
The first appointment is for the Smile Preview. The second is for the impression of the teeth. The third is for the cementation of the veneers to the teeth.
No. Ceramic dental veneers are not fragile if used for normal mastication and if the planning is correct. In many cases, a thin protective mask is worn only at night.
There is no standard number. Sometimes only one veneer is needed. But to incredibly improve the smile, sometimes 6 to 10 dental veneers are needed.
Ceramic dental veneers do not change color over time as pure and quality ceramics have a permanent coloration.
There are several benefits and advantages to having ceramic veneers on your anterior teeth:
– The procedure for placing ceramic dental veneers requires only two appointments;
– Very often there is no need to remove dental tissue, and in cases where it is removed, it is done with minimally invasive procedures (0.2-0.5 mm) and under magnification, to remove only fractions of a millimeter;
– Ceramic is the most biocompatible material we can use near the gum;
– A healthy “natural look” is achieved, and indeed, ceramic dental veneers are considered the most aesthetic procedures in all of dentistry.
Adhesive aesthetic fillings are performed with resinous material but are used to fill dental cavities caused by decay or to rebuild portions of chipped anterior teeth. A complete dental crown is performed when the tooth has received root canal therapy and when much dental structure has been lost.
Ceramic dental veneers can be placed on the teeth to make your smile more aesthetic and natural.
At the first appointment, the Digital Design of the new smile is performed.
At the second appointment, conditions are created on the teeth to receive dental veneers, and a precise impression is made that exactly reproduces the shape of the teeth. The specialized dental technician for these procedures creates each veneer following the design created by the “smile architect,” Dr. Pier Carlo Frabboni. In the meantime, beautiful temporary (provisional) resin dental veneers are applied to the teeth, simulating the final result, so at the end of the first appointment, you will leave the studio with a more beautiful smile than when you entered.
At the third appointment, the new Ceramic Veneers are permanently glued to the natural tooth, thus creating an aesthetic enamel shield.
Ceramic dental veneers can last an indefinite time, also depending on what dental care patients maintain. Since ceramic dental veneers are more resistant than adhesive resin reconstructions, they are also more resistant to fractures and chipping, but the patient will still need to maintain proper home oral hygiene and undergo regular visits to the studio and professional hygiene sessions. This is to ensure that your dental veneers always appear as new.
Another important point is to avoid incorrect habits that would also damage natural teeth, such as biting nails, opening hairpins, and chewing excessively hard things. Once the veneers have been applied, they can be treated like natural teeth. The veneers will look wonderful and last a long time. Our dental veneers last over 20 years.
Dr. Pier Carlo Frabboni’s studio specializes in treatments with dental veneers and uses cutting-edge techniques and handcrafted ceramic veneers made by trusted dental technicians.
