Perfect aesthetic correction
Whether it's the shape, position or color of your teeth, veneers enable precise aesthetic correction that has a positive effect on your self-confidence and quality of life. Natural teeth can have imperfections such as cracks, chips, misalignments and discoloration caused by the natural aging process and the consumption of certain foods and beverages.

Frequently asked questions
No, veneers and crowns are not the same thing. They are two different dental treatments with different purposes:
- Veneers are thin shells of tooth-colored material, typically porcelain or ceramic, that are applied to the front of the visible tooth surfaces. Their main purpose is to improve the aesthetic appearance of teeth by hiding discoloration, stains, slight misalignments and irregularities.
- Crowns, also known as dental crowns, are artificial coverings that enclose the entire visible portion of a damaged, chipped or heavily restored tooth. Crowns are used to restore the function and strength of damaged teeth and provide protection against further damage.
Overall, veneers mainly serve aesthetic purposes, while crowns have both aesthetic and functional restorative purposes.
When veneers need to be replaced due to wear or damage, the process is usually the same as when the veneers were originally placed, except that the old veneers are carefully removed first. This is usually done by grinding or lifting off the old veneers.
If a veneer breaks, it is important to contact your dentist immediately. Your dentist will take appropriate measures to repair or replace the broken veneer. Depending on the type and extent of the breakage, this may mean that the veneer is remade and reapplied to the tooth.
The natural teeth provide a stable foundation for the veneers and normally remain healthy and functional.
Although veneers are long-lasting and durable, there is always a certain risk that they may break or peel off. Possible reasons could be:
- Trauma or injury: Severe trauma or injury to the mouth can cause veneers to become damaged or break off.
- Inadequate dental care: Inadequate dental care and improper use of the teeth, such as opening objects with the teeth, can affect the durability of veneers.
- Misaligned teeth: Severe misalignment of teeth or an uneven bite can result in uneven pressure on the veneers, which can increase the risk of breakage.
In patients who grind their teeth a lot, in very young patients, when there is extremely little space, when there is only a small layer of enamel left on the tooth, in very discolored teeth.
In principle, there is no need to worry about discolouration with veneers. However, the bonding areas may discolour slightly over time. This discolouration is often caused by factors such as the consumption of red wine, coffee, tea, certain medications and acidic foods.
Treatment with veneers usually involves several steps:
- Consultation: During your first appointment, your dentist will discuss your dental history and esthetic goals. Examinations and dental impressions will take place to create a customized treatment plan.
- Pre-preparation (optional): Depending on the case, your teeth may be minimally pre-prepared to create space for the veneers. In some cases, however, no or only minimal pre-preparation is required.
- Impressions and color selection: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create the customized veneers. You also choose the color of the veneers together with your dentist to achieve a natural result.
- Fitting temporary veneers: If necessary, temporary veneers will be fitted to give your teeth a more aesthetic appearance while the final veneers are being made. Fitting the final veneers: Once your customized veneers are completed, they will be applied to your teeth. The dentist will adjust the veneer to ensure optimal fit and aesthetics. The veneers are then permanently attached to your teeth.
- Completion and aftercare: Once the veneers have been fixed, your dentist will check your bite and give you instructions on aftercare. Regular check-ups are important to monitor the condition of the veneers and your oral health.
The exact procedure may vary depending on the individual case. It is important to consult your dentist to create a precise treatment plan according to your specific needs.
In most cases, veneers are used for aesthetic reasons to improve the appearance of the teeth. They are not normally medically necessary. However, there are certain situations where veneers may be considered for medical reasons. These include
- Repair of severely damaged teeth: When teeth are severely damaged, for example due to accidents, trauma or severe wear and tear, veneers can be used to restore them.
- Correction of misalignments: In some cases, veneers can be used to correct slight misalignments or gaps between teeth.
- Protection from further damage: Veneers can be used to protect damaged teeth from further wear or damage.
- Treatment of tooth discoloration: Although discoloration is usually an aesthetic problem, in some cases it can indicate serious dental disease. In such cases, the use of veneers can be part of the treatment.
Veneers bieten eine Reihe von Vorteilen, die sie zu einer beliebten zahnästhetischen Lösung machen. Hier sind einige der hervorzuhebenden Vorteile:
- Aesthetic improvement: Veneers can significantly improve the appearance of your teeth by hiding discoloration, stains, wear marks and irregularities.
- Natural appearance: High-quality veneers made of porcelain or ceramic look very natural and harmonize well with natural teeth.
- Longevity: Veneers are generally durable and can last for many years if they are well cared for.
- Fast results: The aesthetic improvement of teeth with veneers is usually quick and requires only a few visits to the dentist.
- Improving self-confidence: By correcting dental problems, veneers can increase self-confidence and self-esteem.
- Protection for damaged teeth: Veneers can also protect damaged teeth from further wear and damage.
The placement of veneers itself is usually not painful, as it is done under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort or pain. You should not usually feel any pain during the procedure.
However, after the placement of veneers, some patients may experience slight temporary sensitivity. This is normal and may be due to the removal of a thin layer of enamel during tooth preparation. The sensitivity usually subsides within a few days to weeks.
Veneers can be made of various materials, including
- porcelain
- ceramic
- composite material
- zirconium oxide
Caring for veneers is similar to normal dental care, but there are a few points to keep in mind to maintain their durability and esthetics:
- Regular dental care: Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Use dental floss or interdental brushes to clean the spaces between your teeth.
- Avoid overloading: Biting or chewing activities in which extreme chewing forces are exerted on the veneers should be avoided. Avoid cracking hard objects or biting into hard foods.
- Avoid discoloration: Avoid or reduce the consumption of strongly staining foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, red wine or tobacco to minimize discoloration of the veneers.
- Regular dental check-ups: Go for your regular dental check-ups to check the condition of your veneers and have professional dental cleanings.
- Protection during sports: Wear a customized mouthguard to protect your teeth from injury, especially if you play contact sports.
Yes, in most cases the application of veneers requires minimal pre-preparation of the natural teeth. A thin layer of enamel (usually less than 1 mm) is removed to make room for the veneer.
The three most common types are:
- Porcelain veneers: These veneers are made of ceramic or tooth-colored porcelain. They offer high aesthetics, are durable and resistant to discoloration.
- Composite veneers: These veneers consist of a tooth-colored plastic material that is applied directly to the teeth. They are less expensive and require less preparation of the teeth. However, composite veneers can be less durable and are more prone to discoloration compared to porcelain veneers.
- Non-prep veneers: These veneers require minimal or no pre-preparation of the teeth. They are made from ultra-thin ceramic shells and allow the veneers to be applied gently. The advantage is that a minimally invasive treatment approach can be chosen if required.
Veneers are often seen as an aesthetic improvement and most health insurance companies do not cover the costs in such cases. However, there are exceptions when veneers are necessary for medical reasons, for example to repair severely damaged teeth. In such cases, health insurance companies may cover part of the costs under certain circumstances. It is advisable to contact your health insurance company directly for information about the coverage options in your particular situation.
No, veneers are not suitable for everyone. Suitability depends on dental health, individual needs and other factors. A consultation with our specialists will tell you whether veneers are suitable for you.
Veneers can last for many years, often more than a decade, if they are well cared for and regular dental visits are made. The exact lifespan depends on various factors, including
- The material quality
- Dental care
- Pressure on the veneers
- The frequency of visits to the dentist
- Dietary habits
The cost of veneers can vary significantly depending on a number of factors, including:
- Type of veneers: There are different types of veneers, including traditional porcelain veneers and composite dental veneers. The cost can vary depending on the type.
- Number of veneers
- Material quality
- Additional procedures: If additional dental procedures such as tooth preparation are required, the total cost may increase.
The treatment starts from CHF 2000,-
Non-prep veneers are a type of veneer that, unlike conventional veneers, require no or minimal tooth preparation. Non-prep veneers are usually applied directly to the existing teeth without removing the enamel.
Possible risks and side effects of veneers can include
- Tooth sensitivity after preparation
- Damage to the veneers due to inappropriate care or excessive force
- Possibility of veneer detachment
- Color differences between natural teeth and veneers
- Dissatisfaction with the final result
The preparation and fitting of veneers may require several appointments with the dentist. In general, the process involves the following steps:
- Consultation: at the first consultation, the dentist will discuss your needs and wishes, examine the condition of your teeth and determine whether veneers are suitable for you.
- Preparation: At the next appointment, your teeth will be prepared for the veneers. A thin layer of enamel will be removed to make room for the veneers.
- Impressions and color selection: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create customized veneers. The appropriate color is also selected to achieve an aesthetically pleasing result.
- Fitting temporary veneers: In some cases, temporary veneers are fitted to protect your teeth while the final veneers are being made and to give you a temporary aesthetic appearance.
- Fitting the final veneers: Once your customized veneers are completed, they will be permanently fitted to your teeth in a later session. The dentist will check the fit and make adjustments to the fit and color if necessary.
Veneers are thin, custom-made ceramic shells that are applied to the front of teeth to improve their appearance. They can be used to correct a variety of dental problems
- Discoloration: Veneers can whiten teeth that do not look attractive due to discoloration or discoloration.
