Veneers in Naples
Veneers are thin facings bonded to the front surfaces of teeth. They are used to change shade, close small spaces, correct minor irregularities in shape, and restore worn or chipped edges.
Porcelain and composite options
Porcelain veneers are fabricated in a laboratory and bonded to prepared tooth surfaces. They resist staining well and can reproduce the layered translucency of natural enamel. Composite veneers are shaped directly on the tooth in a single visit and can often be adjusted or repaired.
Each material has trade-offs in longevity, cost, and the amount of tooth structure involved. Both are explained before a decision is made.
- Shade and shape planning with photographs
- Trial mock-ups where appropriate
- Conservative preparation guided by the planned result
- Bite evaluation to protect the finished restorations
Design before preparation
Veneer treatment is planned before any tooth structure is touched. Length, width, edge position, and midline are evaluated in relation to your lips and face. A preview allows you to assess the proposed design and request adjustments.
Caring for veneers
Veneers are cleaned like natural teeth, with attention to the gum margin. Patients who clench or grind are usually advised to wear a protective night guard. Habits such as opening packaging with the front teeth should be avoided.
Frequently asked questions
Do veneers require removing tooth structure?
+
Most porcelain veneers involve some enamel preparation. The amount depends on tooth position and the planned design; conservative preparation is prioritized where feasible.
How long do veneers last?
+
Longevity varies with material, bite forces, and home care. Regular maintenance visits allow early detection of chips or margin wear.
Can a single veneer match my other teeth?
+
Single-tooth veneers are among the most demanding cosmetic cases. Careful shade mapping and laboratory communication are used to blend the restoration.
