What are veneers?

A veneer is a thin shell placed over the front of a tooth, giving it the desired shape and color. Veneers are not only cosmetically attractive but also functional: they protect your teeth and improve strength.

There are two types of veneers:

Composite veneers
- Often placed in just one appointment
- Affordable solution
- Tooth-colored filling material applied directly onto the tooth
- Easy to repair if damaged
- Lifespan: on average 5–10 years
Porcelain veneers
- Custom-made in a dental laboratory
- Very durable with a natural-looking result
- Do not discolor over time
- Lifespan: 10–25 years or longer
- Ideal for a complete smile transformation

What can veneers do for you?

Whether you want to enhance a single tooth or achieve a full smile makeover, our dentists are ready to create a personalized treatment plan for you.

The treatment: how are veneers placed?

The veneer placement process usually involves the following steps:

Consultation and examination
During your first visit, we discuss your wishes and examine your teeth. Photos and, if needed, impressions are taken.
Choosing composite or porcelain
Together we decide which type of veneer suits you best. We explain the pros and cons and provide a cost estimate.
Preparing the tooth
Sometimes a very thin layer of enamel is removed to create space for the veneer. This is usually painless.
Placing the veneer
1. Composite veneers: built directly onto the tooth in one session.
2. Porcelain veneers:impression taken → dental lab → placed at a second appointment.
Finishing and check-up
The veneer is polished to create a natural shine. After treatment, you’ll receive tips for proper maintenance.

What are the benefits of veneers?

Immediate results: walk out with a brand-new smile;
Natural look: hardly distinguishable from real teeth;

What are the costs of composite or porcelain veneers?

The cost of veneers depends on the material used and the number of veneers placed. You may choose to improve one tooth, several teeth, or your entire smile. Porcelain veneers are generally more expensive than composite veneers. After a consultation, we will provide you with a personalized treatment plan including a detailed cost estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions about Veneers

Are you considering veneers to enhance your smile? It’s only natural to have many questions beforehand about the options, costs, durability, and maintenance of veneers. That’s why we’ve listed the most frequently asked questions and answers for you. This way, you’ll know exactly what to expect before starting treatment at Tandheelkundig Centrum Frederikstraat.

When are veneers possible?

Almost anyone can get veneers. However, it is important that your oral hygiene and gums are healthy. If this is not the case, we will first discuss how we can help you improve this.

Can everyone get veneers?

Yes, as long as your oral health is good. In case of cavities or gum problems, we advise treatment first.

Are veneers covered by my insurance?

Coverage depends on your insurance policy. We advise you to check with your provider before starting treatment, so you won’t face unexpected costs.

How long do veneers last?

Porcelain veneers last longer than composite. In general, veneers last 5–10 years. Porcelain veneers often last more than 10 years, sometimes even 25 years or longer. The lifespan depends on your oral hygiene, lifestyle, and habits. Teeth grinding or nail biting can cause faster wear. Composite veneers may also discolor sooner if you smoke or frequently consume products with strong colorants, such as coffee or red wine.

How do I maintain my veneers?

Simply brush and floss as you normally would. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings are important.

Are veneers painful?

No, usually not. Sometimes a mild anesthetic is needed when removing a thin layer of enamel, but often this is unnecessary.

Can veneers discolor?

Composite veneers may discolor over time due to coffee, tea, or smoking. Porcelain veneers retain their color.

What can I expect after treatment?

Veneers feel like your natural teeth, but you may need some time to adjust. For example, if the shape of your teeth has changed, certain sounds may be harder to pronounce at first. Veneers do not require special care—they become part of your daily oral hygiene routine. Composite veneers may discolor within 1–2 years depending on your lifestyle. Veneers generally last 5–10 years.
