Definition of dental veneers
Dental veneers are thin shells made of ceramic or composite that are bonded to the outer surface of the teeth. They allow for the correction of aesthetic imperfections and the improvement of the smile's harmony.
Thanks to their custom design, they offer a natural look and a lasting solution for regaining a radiant smile.
Indications for veneers
Dental veneers are recommended to correct various dental defects such as stained, worn, cracked or slightly misaligned teeth.
They offer an excellent alternative to orthodontic treatments for harmonizing teeth without requiring lengthy procedures. This technique is particularly suitable for patients seeking a quick and painless aesthetic transformation.
Types of dental veneers
Types of dental veneers
Ceramic veneers: Made from high-quality porcelain, they are distinguished by their strength, durability (up to 15 years), and natural appearance. They offer excellent translucency, perfectly mimicking tooth enamel.
Composite veneers: Less expensive, they allow for quick cosmetic correction. Although their lifespan is shorter (approximately 5 years), they are an effective and affordable solution for improving the appearance of your smile.
At Clear Smile, we offer composite veneers at CHF 720 or CHF 855 (depending on the composite veneer) and ceramic veneers at CHF 1,350, guaranteeing a solution to suit all needs and budgets.
Installation procedure
Applying dental veneers is a precise and personalized procedure, guaranteeing a radiant and natural smile. At Clear Smile, we follow a multi-step approach to ensure optimal and long-lasting results.
Diagnosis and planning
Before any procedure, a detailed diagnosis is carried out using a 3D scanner and a panoramic X-ray. This analysis allows us to assess the structure of your teeth and design a solution perfectly suited to your smile.
Teeth preparation
A slight modification of the enamel may be necessary to ensure a precise fit of the veneers. This step is carried out meticulously to preserve as much of the natural tooth structure as possible.
Custom-made veneers
An impression is taken to create custom veneers in the laboratory. Depending on the material chosen (ceramic or composite), the veneers are designed to mimic the translucency and natural shade of the teeth.
Installation and final fixing
Once the veneers are ready, they are temporarily fitted for adjustment, then permanently bonded using a high-performance adhesive resin. A final check ensures a natural appearance and optimal comfort.
Advantages of dental veneers
Dental veneers are an aesthetic and long-lasting solution for achieving a radiant smile. At Clear Smile, we prioritize high-quality materials to ensure exceptional results.
✔ Rapid and lasting smile improvement
Unlike orthodontics or other lengthy treatments, veneers allow for immediate correction of the color, shape, and alignment of teeth.
✔ Minimally invasive procedure
Only slight preparation of the enamel is required, unlike dental crowns which require more extensive reduction of the tooth.
✔ A natural and aesthetically pleasing result
Ceramic veneers offer a translucent appearance close to natural teeth and are highly resistant to stains.
Dental veneer prices
The cost of veneers varies depending on the material used and the country where the treatment is performed. At Clear Smile, we offer options to suit all budgets:
💎 Composite veneers: from 720 to 855 CHF per tooth.
💎 Ceramic veneers: from CHF 1,350 per tooth.
Comparison with foreign countries
Some patients choose to have their treatment done in Spain or Hungary, where prices can range from 400 to 600 CHF per veneer. However, it is essential to consider the quality of the materials, the practitioner's expertise, and the post-treatment follow-up before making a decision.
At Clear Smile, we guarantee precision work, carried out with certified materials and recognized expertise in dental aesthetics.
Reimbursement and insurance
Cosmetic treatments, including teeth whitening and veneers, are not covered by basic health insurance. However, some supplemental insurance plans may offer partial coverage in specific cases, particularly if the treatment is related to an accident or dental malformation.
It is advisable to check directly with your insurer regarding any potential coverage before starting treatment.
Comparison with other solutions
Teeth whitening and veneers aren't the only options for improving the aesthetics of your smile. Porcelain-fused-to-metal or zirconia crowns offer a more durable alternative for restoring severely damaged teeth.
For alignment problems, an orthodontic solution, such as invisible aligners, can correct the position of the teeth before considering additional cosmetic treatment.
