Consultation & Exam
Your dentist reviews your oral health and determines if zirconia veneers are the best option for you.
Tooth Preparation
A small amount of enamel is removed to allow the veneers to fit properly.
Digital Impressions
Advanced scans or molds are taken to design your custom zirconia veneers.
Fabrication
Your veneers are crafted from high-strength zirconia, ensuring long-lasting results.
Placement
The veneers are bonded securely to your teeth, enhancing both appearance and function.
Exceptional durability: Highly resistant to chips and cracks.
Natural look: Smooth, lifelike finish for a flawless smile.
Biocompatible: Safe for patients with allergies or sensitivities.
Ideal for back teeth: Strong enough to withstand heavy biting pressure.
Custom fit: Designed for comfort and long-term success.
Zirconia veneers are stronger than porcelain and can last even longer with proper care.
Maintain a good oral hygiene routine: brushing twice daily and flossing.
Avoid chewing on hard objects to prevent unnecessary stress.
Use non-abrasive toothpaste to protect the smooth finish.
Schedule regular dental visits to monitor your veneers’ condition.
Zirconia Veneers
Made from zirconium dioxide, one of the strongest ceramics in dentistry.
Highly resistant to chips, cracks, and heavy biting forces.
Recommended for patients who grind their teeth (bruxism) or need veneers on back teeth like molars.
Provide a natural look, though slightly less translucent than porcelain.
Porcelain Veneers
Known for their exceptional aesthetics and translucency, closely mimicking natural enamel.
Ideal for front teeth where appearance is the top priority.
Durable and stain-resistant, but not as strong as zirconia under heavy pressure.
Require less tooth reduction compared to zirconia.
💡 In summary: choose porcelain veneers if your main goal is achieving the most natural, lifelike smile. Choose zirconia veneers if you need extra strength and durability without sacrificing aesthetics.

The durability of dental veneers hinges on the material they're made from and the care they receive. With proper maintenance, zirconia veneers, given adequate care, can extend their lifespan to anywhere between 10 and 30 years.
Getting veneers usually takes two visits to the dentist. During the first visit, your tooth is prepared, and a mold of the tooth is taken so the veneer can be made. In the next visit, the veneer will be placed. After some adjustments, the tooth will be cleaned, and the dental professional will bond the veneer to it.
Veneers are a cosmetic option to enhance healthy teeth, while crowns are a restorative solution to rebuild and protect damaged teeth.
