Dental Veneers in Thane

Dental veneers are thin, tooth-coloured shells bonded to the front of your teeth. They improve colour, shape, size and small gaps, and are commonly made from porcelain or composite resin. See also the ADA MouthHealthy guide to veneers.

The cost depends on how many teeth you are treating, whether you choose porcelain or composite, and the condition of your teeth. After an examination, we share a clear cost for your case.

You can get dental veneers at Dr Rai’s Dental Avenue in Majiwada, Thane West. We offer consultation, smile planning, porcelain and composite veneers, and follow-up care.

Local anaesthesia is used when needed. You may feel pressure during preparation, and mild tooth sensitivity for a few days afterwards is common.

With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, porcelain veneers commonly last 10 to 15 years, and composite veneers often 5 to 7 years. Habits like teeth grinding or biting hard objects can shorten their life.

Most cases need two to three visits over a few weeks. Porcelain veneers take longer because they are made in a lab, while composite veneers can often be completed faster.

Veneers are a long-term option but may need replacing in time, and porcelain veneers usually need a thin layer of enamel removed, which cannot be reversed. We explain this before treatment so you can decide with full information.

Adults with healthy teeth and gums who want to correct colour, chips, gaps or uneven shape are good candidates. Active gum disease, untreated decay or heavy teeth grinding should be addressed first.

A veneer covers only the front of a tooth and removes less of it, while a crown covers the whole tooth. Crowns suit badly damaged or weak teeth, and veneers suit cosmetic improvements.

Brush twice a day, floss daily and visit your dentist for regular checkups. Avoid biting hard objects and nails, and limit tea, coffee and tobacco, which can stain the edges of veneers.
