What are dental veneers?
Veneers (also known as laminate) are a thin, translucent layer of a carefully chosen material that is customised to cover the imperfections of your teeth. The material is shaped to bond to the front of your teeth, and as a result, enhances the shape, size and colour of teeth, to close gaps and improve alignment.
At ArtSmiles, they are designed to do this and much more. Dr Cristian Dunker has taken the art of Dental Veneers to a much higher level. Our custom Dental Veneers will match or replace your natural teeth, and Dr Cristian will make sure that the Dental Veneers you get will give you the exact smile transformation that you’ve always wanted.
The ArtSmiles Way: Dental Veneers
Dr Dunker and his team of cosmetic dentists are experts in executing cosmetically pleasing cases. Below you can find the step-by-step for a rehabilitation with ceramic veneers.
1. Free consultation
Everything starts with a Free Consultation, where our clinician evaluates the complexity of the case. At this moment you see multiple cases executed by us and what to expect from your case.
2. First Appointment
This is a planning consultation, where our clinician takes multiple photos of your face and smile, as well as a 3D scanning of your teeth, and discuss the risks and steps of the procedure.
3. Second Appointment
In this consult we will shave your teeth to receive the veneers. A new scan will be done, so the lab can execute a beautiful new set of veneers. You go home with a set of temporary veneers, as shown in the photo.
4. Third Appointment
Our clinician fits your new ceramic veneers. At this time, he removes the temporary veneers and the patient receives their new, permanent smile.
5. fourth Appointment
During this final re-contouring appointment, our clinician applies the finishing touches to your new smile. It occurs one to two weeks after the veneers are fitted.

Dental Veneers Before and After
Composite Resin VS Porcelain Veneers
What is the difference?
There are as many differences as similarities between resin composite veneers and porcelain veneers. Determining which type of veneer is right for you comes down to multiple different factors.
Both types basically serve the same purpose and involve placing tooth-coloured material over the front surface of the tooth to improve its shape.
Both are used to deal with dull, discoloured, chipped, cracked, short or uneven teeth. If any one or more of these are affecting you, your smile or your confidence, veneers are obviously the best and most common solution.
The differences are due to the quality, procedure, durability and cost of the two different materials.
Quality
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain adhered to the outer-surface of the tooth. Composite veneers are engineered resin affixed to the outer-surface. Both are made to match your teeth (or whiten) and improve your overall smile.
Porcelain veneers are much stronger and more durable than composite resin veneers. They’re extremely thin (0.6mm), so they feel like real teeth in your month. The smooth, impervious ceramic used in porcelain veneers also resists staining from cigarettes or coffee.
With dental porcelain veneers, your teeth reconstruction is so close to natural in terms of their shape, colour, and texture, that only your dentist can tell the difference between them and your natural teeth.
Procedure
The quicker of the two dental veneers to be applied to the teeth are composite veneers. This is because they can be done chairside in the same visit. Dr. Cristian Dunker will match the resin to the colour, size, and shape of your desired new smile. The resin is added to your teeth, cured and then polished. You can walk out the same day with a new smile!
Porcelain veneers typically take at least two visits. Dr. Cristian will remove a very thin layer of your teeth, take an impression of the teeth receiving the veneers and send the mould out to a lab to be hand crafted. While you are waiting on your veneers to be fabricated you can wear temporary veneers. A second visit will fit them to check for colour match and shape, and if you’re happy, they will be bonded to complete the process.
Durability
With proper care, porcelain veneers should last 10-15 years. Composite veneers, on the other hand, typically last 5-8 years. While porcelain is fragile, once bonded to a healthy tooth it is extremely durable. Composite is durable but not as strong as porcelain and is more prone to chipping. However, if damage were to happen to a porcelain veneer, it would have to be replaced, it cannot be repaired. If you chip a composite veneer, you can repair it.
Cost
Porcelain veneers are more expensive than composite initially. The placement of porcelain takes more time, expertise and resources. The dental lab’s dentists work with are chosen very carefully and cost money to fabricate restorations. If you break down costs by how often you would have to replace/repair composite verse porcelain though, the cost could come out even over time.
Choosing between composite and porcelain veneers
At the end of the day, the only way to determine whether a composite or porcelain veneer solution is right for you is to come for a free consultation and discuss about your aesthetic goals and to weigh your personal considerations. In other words, what is most important to you? If you’re looking for the most cost-effective solution, then a composite veneers treatment plan will probably be a good fit. However, if you have a severe aesthetic concern, or you’re looking for the most natural and durable treatment solution, then porcelain veneers will give you a fantastic result.
Regardless of which material you opt for in the end, you can rest assured that both offer fantastic smile enhancement.
