Dental Veneers at Sai Dental

Dental veneers at Sai Faciomaxillary & Dental Center are one of our most transformative cosmetic treatments, delivering dramatic smile changes with minimal tooth preparation. Dr. Sumedha Nandakumar, our Aesthetic Dentist, crafts ultra-thin porcelain or composite veneers customised to your desired shape, size, and shade. Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin (0.3-0.5mm) ceramic shells bonded to the front surface of teeth, correcting discolouration, chips, gaps, mild misalignment, worn edges, and irregular tooth shapes. Each veneer is hand-crafted to precise specifications from a digital smile design blueprint (digital scans). Our veneers are virtually indistinguishable from natural enamel in translucency, colour, and light reflection. Unlike dental crowns, veneers require minimal removal of natural tooth structure, making them a conservative option for smile transformation. Porcelain veneers last 10-15 years on average, longer with proper maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Porcelain veneer costs in Chennai range from ₹12,000 to ₹25,000 per tooth. Composite veneers are less expensive at ₹4,000–₹8,000 per tooth but do not last as long or look as natural as porcelain. A full smile (6–8 veneers) transforms the entire visible smile.

Porcelain veneers require removing a small amount of enamel (0.3–0.5mm), which is permanent but minimal. This enamel removal means the teeth will always need a covering, either veneers or crowns. However, the structural integrity of the tooth is maintained.

High-quality porcelain veneers last 10–15 years on average. With good oral hygiene, avoiding hard foods and nail biting, and wearing a night guard if you grind, many patients enjoy their veneers for 20 years or more.

Veneers can correct the appearance of mildly misaligned teeth without orthodontic treatment. For moderate to severe misalignment, orthodontic treatment first is recommended to achieve the best long-term result before veneer placement.

Veneers cover only the front surface of a tooth and require minimal tooth reduction, making them ideal for cosmetic correction. Crowns cap the entire tooth and require more reduction, and are indicated when the tooth is structurally compromised, heavily filled, or root canal-treated.
