What are veneers, and who are they for?

Veneers (also called dental facings) are thin shells of porcelain or composite placed on the front of teeth. They correct colour, shape or light alignment issues without covering the tooth fully like a crown. Minimally-invasive cosmetic dentistry for a natural, beautiful smile.

At Tandarts West, your English-speaking dentist in Rotterdam West at Taandersstraat 121, we work with in-house dental laboratory and digital smile design. We simulate the end result digitally and with a mock-up in your mouth, so you see your new smile before the final veneers are made. Patients from Delfshaven, Middelland, Nieuwe Westen and Spangen come here for veneers. Meet our team, view the rates or register online.

For best results we often recommend whitening first to the desired colour, then placing veneers in that colour. Otherwise colour differences appear later, since veneers don't change colour.

When are veneers suitable?

For which situations choose veneers?

3 typical reasons to consider veneers.

Discoloured teeth

When whitening no longer works (medication, old fillings, hereditary), veneers offer a lasting white solution.

Shape or alignment issues

Small gaps between front teeth, slightly crooked teeth or asymmetric length, all correctable without orthodontics.

Wear or damage

Chipped corners, erosion or grinding wear, accident damage. Veneers restore shape and protection.
