Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are thin shells bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to improve their appearance in suitable cases. They may be used for certain stains that do not respond adequately to whitening, differences in tooth shape or size, minor chips, or limited gaps, following an assessment of the teeth and bite.

At Dr. Ahmed Elwan’s Clinic, planning includes checking tooth and gum health, the available enamel, and habits that may affect veneers, such as tooth grinding. The desired shade and shape are discussed alongside alternative treatments. Some preparation of the tooth surface may be necessary, with the amount depending on the case and veneer type.

Veneers are not suitable for everyone; orthodontics, cosmetic bonding, or whitening may be more appropriate for some patients. After placement, regular cleaning and dental reviews remain essential. Avoiding hard-object biting and following care instructions help protect veneers, which may require repair or replacement in the future.
