At Cardona Dental Clinic we specialize in transforming smiles with the latest technologies in cosmetic dentistry. Among our most popular and effective options are porcelain dental veneers, an ideal solution for those seeking a flawless smile.
What Are Porcelain Dental Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin shells that are bonded to the front surface of the teeth. These veneers are custom designed for each patient, ensuring a perfect fit and a natural look. They are an excellent solution for correcting aesthetic problems such as discolored, broken, misaligned or gapped teeth.
Advantages of Porcelain Veneers
At Cardona Dental Clinic, we understand the importance of an aesthetically pleasing and functional smile. Porcelain veneers are an excellent solution to numerous dental challenges, offering a wide range of benefits:
- Dental Enamel Simulation: Porcelain veneers mimic natural tooth enamel, providing an authentic look and feel.
- Color Customization: They can be customized to match the color of your natural teeth or to achieve a whiter, brighter shade, according to your preference.
- Resilient Material: Porcelain is an extremely tough and durable material, capable of resisting wear and stains.
- Non-Porous Surface: Unlike natural teeth, porcelain does not absorb pigments easily, which makes veneers more resistant to stains from food and beverages.
- Minimally Invasive Placement Process: The application of porcelain veneers generally requires minimal removal of tooth enamel, preserving most of the natural tooth structure.
- Extended Life Span: With proper care, porcelain veneers can last up to 15 years or more, making them a long-term investment for your smile.
- Gum-friendly: Porcelain is well tolerated by gingival tissue, reducing the risk of irritation or adverse reactions.
Types of Porcelain Dental Veneers
Porcelain dental veneers are a popular solution for improving dental esthetics.
They offer a natural and resistant appearance, being an ideal option for those who are looking to renew their smile.
There are 2 types of porcelain dental veneers:
Disilicate Dental Veneers
Lithium disilicate veneers are known for their strength and durability. This type of veneer is fabricated from a very strong ceramic material, making them ideal for cases where greater chewing strength is required or for teeth that have been weakened.
The main characteristics of disilicate veneers are:
- Durability: Designed to have a long service life by resisting fracture and wear.
- Improved esthetics: They offer a translucency similar to that of natural teeth, which makes them truly esthetic.
- Customization: Being manufactured in layers allows for a customized and detailed design.
Feldspathic Dental Veneers
Feldspathic veneers, on the other hand, are known for their excellent esthetics. These veneers are made of feldspathic porcelain, a material that offers a translucency and luster similar to natural teeth. They are ideal for patients seeking aesthetic enhancement with a very natural look. The main characteristics of feldspathic veneers are:
- Thinner: Compared to other types of veneers, which requires less preparation of the tooth.
- Customization: They adapt perfectly to the color and texture of the tooth as they mimic the color and texture of natural teeth.
- Ideal for cosmetic treatments: where the focus is on improving the front appearance of the teeth: as in the case of discolored or slightly misaligned teeth.
Choosing the right type of dental veneers for you is an important decision.
For this reason, we offer all our new patients a free initial visit. During this consultation, our team of experts will carry out a detailed study of your case and will advise you on the dental veneer option that best suits your needs and expectations.
Placement of porcelain dental veneers step by step:
- The protocol for designing porcelain veneers includes a photographic and video study of the patient’s face, lips, smile and teeth.
- This information is processed in a digital smile design program, which makes it possible to create a personalized smile for each patient.
- Once the digital design has been finalized , it is tried in the patient’s mouth so that they can evaluate and decide if they like it.
- The patient can also collaborate in the design of his or her new smile, suggesting changes or corrections .
- This process is reversible and does not involve making changes to the teeth until the patient is satisfied with the design.
- Once the approval is given, the porcelain veneers are fabricated and bonded to the tooth surface.
- With this treatment, the patient’s smile will be rejuvenated and will have a more natural and healthy appearance.
- Thanks to new technologies and materials, it is possible to avoid aggressive and debilitating tooth grinding and opt for minimal or superficial polishing instead.

When are porcelain dental veneers recommended?
- Interdental spaces or diastemas: If the teeth are separated and there is a space between them (diastema), veneers can be a good solution. However, it is important to make sure that orthodontics is not a more appropriate option or that orthodontic treatment is not needed before veneers are applied.
- Tooth staining: if teeth have stains or discolorations, either intrinsic or extrinsic, and they have not been resolved or met the patient’s expectations with a previous whitening treatment, veneers may be an appropriate solution.
- Small tooth size: Over time, teeth can become shorter and worn down. Dental veneers can help restore the shape and texture of teeth, giving a more youthful appearance to the smile.
- Unattractive smiles: in cases where you feel that something about your smile is not right or you simply want to improve it, dental veneers can be a good option.
