What are veneers teeth and what are they for?
The dental veneers consist of the application of thin sheets covering the visible part of the teeth, immediately improving the appearance of the smile. This procedure is one of the most demanded in dental aesthetics in Bilbao because it offers spectacular results without the need for complex surgeries.
Although it is a purely aesthetic treatment and does not improve the chewing function, it has a huge impact on the patient's self-esteem. With the dental veneers you can:
- Correct the color: Ideal for teeth with stains that do not respond to whitening.
- Repair breaks: Reconstruct fractured or worn edges.
- Close diasthema: Removes excessive spaces between teeth.
- Fix enamel wear: Bring youth back to your smile.
- Align slightly: It corrects small malfeasances without the need for orthodontics.
Types of dental veneers: Which is the best for you?
At our DE Clinic ODONTOFAMILY de BilbaoWe customise the treatment according to your needs and budget. We work with the most advanced materials on the market.
dental veneers Lumineers
Lumineers are an aesthetic treatment of minimal invasion and high technology. Ultrafine foils (such as a contact lens) that do not require previous tooth carving.
- No pain: Having not carved, the sensitive structure of the tooth is not touched. In our clinics this procedure is popular for its simplicity and comfort; does not require anesthesia.
- Reversible: Keeping your tooth intact underneath is a reversible treatment.
- Quality: They are made of a very resistant patented porcelain that can last more than 20 years with the right care. They are made entirely to measure.
veners de Composite
Composite veneers are made of a high quality synthetic resin that perfectly resembles tooth enamel and is easy to mold.
- The procedure: They can be made directly in the patient's mouth (direct technique) or in the laboratory. one session only.
- Advantages: They are cheaper than porcelain and, if fractured, can be easily repaired in the dental office itself.
- Who are they for?: Ideal for minor corrections or young patients. In ODONTOFAMILY, a specialist will evaluate if this procedure is right for you.
dental veneers of Porcelain
porcelain dental veneers are ceramic sheets that provide the most natural and aesthetic finish possible. They have a unique ability to imitate the brightness and translucency of the real tooth.
- The procedure: They require laboratory work, so they are placed in two sessions. Unlike other types, to achieve perfect uniformity, it is usually necessary to coat the group of front teeth (incisive and canine).
- Resistance: Do not dye with coffee or tobacco and maintain its brightness indefinitely.
- Considerations: The procedure is painless, although it may require minimal enamel carving to ensure fit. Local anesthesia is applied for the patient's convenience.
Comparative: Composite or Porcelain?
Choosing from one material or another is the most frequent doubt in our Bilbao consultation. The choice depends on your aesthetic goals, your budget and the rush you have to show off your new smile. Here we explain the keys to deciding:
1. Durability and Resistance It's the most remarkable difference. dental porcelain veneers (or Lumineers) are extremely hard and resistant; if well cared for, it is a definitive treatment that may last longer than 15 or 20 years. On the contrary, composite veneers dental have a shorter service life, 5-7 years, after which they usually need polishing or renovation.
2. Aesthetics and Color Both options offer very aesthetic results, but the porcelain plays in another league: its material mimics the glass and natural translucency of the tooth, and most importantly, never changes color. Composite veneers teeth are very nice freshly laid, but as a porous resin, they can lose shine or be slightly dyed over the years if you smoke or drink a lot of coffee.
3. Treatment time If you are looking for immediacy, the composite is your winner: they are usually performed and placed in one session only in the clinic. porcelain they require a laboratory craft work, so you will need at least two or three visits (one for measurements and one for placement) separated for a few days.
4. Price and Investment Composite veneers dental are the most economic and accessible in the short term. Porcelains are a higher initial investment due to laboratory costs and material quality, but when they last three times as long, they tend to be more profitable in the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do the veneers hurt?
No. The placement of dental composite veneers or Lumineers is totally painless and does not usually require anesthesia. In the case of porcelain veneers dental that require a micro-cut, local anesthesia is used, so the patient does not feel any discomfort during the process.
Can they break if I bite something hard?
The vener teeth are very resistant, but they are not indestructible. They act like your natural teeth: if you bite ice, shellfish shells or open bottles with your teeth, they can fracture. If you have bruxism, we recommend a discharge splint to protect them while you sleep.
How long do the veneers last?
With proper hygiene and annual reviews in ODONTOFAMILY, composite veneers tend to last between 5 and 7 years, when they can be polished or renewed. Porcelain veneers and Lumineers dental veneers are a long-term solution that can exceed 15 or 20 years in perfect condition.
Do you notice I'm wearing a veneers tooth or do they look like fake teeth?
Our goal is naturalness. The “piano key effect” (too white and square teeth) is a thing of the past. We design the dental veneers respecting the natural shape, texture and translucency, so that your smile looks perfect but real.
