All about
Facings
Do you want bright white teeth, get rid of gaps between your teeth or have chipped teeth restored? With veneers from Happy Smiles, you can significantly beautify your teeth. Veneers are thin layers of tooth-colored filler material made of composite or porcelain that are bonded to your teeth. This allows us to adjust the shape or color of your teeth. We can also fill in crevices, repair chipped corners, whiten yellow or brown teeth and hide crooked teeth.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMPOSITE AND PORCELAIN
There are two types of veneers: composite and porcelain. Both types of veneers are applied in the same way, but the material and characteristics differ. Here is an overview of the characteristics of both types:
PORCELAIN VENEERS
Advantages:
- Do not discolor
- Various color shades possible
- Long lifespan
- Low maintenance
Disadvantages:
- More expensive than composite veneers
- Multiple treatments required
COMPOSITE VENEERS
Advantages:
- Relatively inexpensive
- Placed in one treatment
Disadvantages:
- Discolor faster
- Less longevity than porcelain veneers
THE TREATMENT: HAVING VENEERS PLACED
Treatment differs between porcelain and composite veneers. After the initial consultation, composite veneers can be placed in one appointment, while porcelain veneers require two appointments.
PORCELAIN VENEERS TREATMENT
Porcelain veneers are placed in two treatments. During the first appointment, we take an impression of your teeth and together with the dentist you determine the color and shape of your veneers. Based on this impression, the porcelain veneers are manufactured in our laboratory. At the second appointment, your teeth are pre-treated and bonded. Then the dentist sticks the veneers onto your teeth. After treatment, you can immediately enjoy your radiant new smile.
TREATMENT COMPOSITE VENEERS
Composite veneers can be applied by our specialists within one day. First, you choose the color of the veneers together with the specialist. Then your teeth are treated with etching and bonding material and the composite is applied. The veneers are then hardened with a special lamp and ground into the desired shape.
After treatment, you will have radiant teeth immediately.
AFTERCARE AND MAINTENANCE OF FACINGS
In the first few days after treatment, you should get used to the veneers, especially if the shape of your teeth has changed significantly. This may temporarily affect your speech. Dental veneers require no special maintenance; you can care for them just like your natural teeth. Brush twice a day and use dental floss, brushes or sticks to keep your teeth clean.
TRY-IN / SAMPLE
It is also possible to have a try-in at dental office Happy Smiles. This is a try-in that can be placed so you can get used to it. You can then decide later if you are happy with the color and position of the teeth.
