Laminate Veneer

What are teeth veneers?

Dental veneers are thin shells of dental ceramic or composite resin that are fixed directly on to the surface of the teeth, making them appear whiter and more even. As veneers are customised to match the shape, size and colour of your teeth, they look completely natural. Teeth veneers are stainless, undetectable to observers and reflect light, giving you a bright, symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing smile.

What are the types of dental veneers?

There are two main types of dental veneers: Ceramic (Porcelain) veneers and Composite resin veneers.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from high-quality dental ceramic. They provide a natural, translucent appearance and are highly durable. These veneers require some enamel removal and typically involve multiple visits. They are stain-resistant and designed for long-term cosmetic enhancement.

Composite Veneers

Composite veneers are made from tooth-coloured resin applied and shaped directly onto the teeth. They usually require little to no enamel removal and can be completed in a single visit. While more affordable and easier to repair, composite veneers are less durable and more prone to staining compared to porcelain.

Composite Teeth Veneers vs Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers offer greater durability, stain resistance, and a more natural appearance — ideal for long-term smile makeovers. Composite veneers are more affordable, quicker to apply, and easier to repair, making them suitable for short- to medium-term cosmetic improvements.

Made from high-quality dental porcelain that mimics the natural translucency and texture of enamel.

Highly translucent and reflective, offering a lifelike and natural-looking smile.

Lasts approximately 10 to 15 years with proper care — more resistant to wear and tear.

Smooth, glazed surface resists staining from coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco.

Requires a thin layer of enamel to be removed for optimal fit and bonding.

Typically completed over 2 to 3 dental visits as veneers are custom-made in a dental lab.

Higher cost per tooth due to lab fabrication, material quality, and longer lifespan.

Difficult to repair if chipped or broken; usually requires full replacement.

Excellent long-term colour retention with minimal risk of discolouration.

Comprehensive smile makeovers and patients seeking a long-lasting cosmetic solution.

Composite Veneers

Made from tooth-coloured composite resin applied and shaped directly onto the tooth surface.

Natural-looking but slightly less translucent and reflective than porcelain veneers.

Generally lasts 4 to 8 years — more prone to wear, chipping, or discolouration over time.

More porous material; susceptible to staining from food, drinks, and smoking.

Requires little to no enamel reduction — a more conservative treatment option.

Often completed in a single dental visit, as no lab work is needed.

Lower cost per tooth; a more budget-friendly alternative to ceramic veneers.

Easy to repair or touch up; minor chips can often be fixed on the same day.

More likely to discolour or dull over time; may need occasional polishing or earlier replacement.

Minor cosmetic enhancements or patients looking for an affordable, short- to medium-term solution.

What dental problems can veneers treat and improve?

Dental veneers are a highly effective cosmetic solution that can address a range of common aesthetic concerns. They are often used to improve the appearance of:

Veneers for Chipped or cracked teeth

Veneers for Chipped or cracked teeth

Veneers are a great option for chipped or cracked teeth because they not only conceal the damage but also help reinforce the tooth’s structure. Made from strong, tooth-coloured materials, veneers are custom-designed to cover the front surface of the affected tooth—restoring its shape, strength, and appearance in one go. For small cracks or chips that don’t require a crown, veneers offer a minimally invasive and long-lasting solution that blends beautifully with your natural smile.

Veneers for Gaps between teeth

Veneers for Gaps between teeth

Veneers are an effective cosmetic solution for closing small gaps between teeth, especially when orthodontic treatment isn’t necessary. Custom-made to fit each tooth, veneers are bonded to the front surface to create a more even, symmetrical appearance. They not only close the spaces but also improve the overall shape and size of your teeth, giving you a fuller, more uniform smile with minimal downtime.

Veneers for Discoloured or stained teeth

Veneers for Discoloured or stained teeth

For teeth with deep stains or discolouration that don’t respond well to whitening treatments, veneers offer a reliable and long-lasting solution. These thin porcelain or composite shells are custom-made to mask the affected teeth, instantly brightening your smile with a consistent, natural-looking shade. Whether the stains are from medication, trauma, or years of wear, veneers provide a stain-resistant, durable way to restore a radiant, confident smile.

Veneers for Misshapen or slightly misaligned teeth

Veneers for Misshapen or slightly misaligned teeth

Veneers are a fast and effective way to improve the appearance of misshapen or slightly misaligned teeth—without the time commitment of braces or Invisalign. Custom-designed to fit over each tooth, veneers refine the shape, size, and alignment to create the illusion of a straighter, more balanced smile. Unlike orthodontic treatments, veneers offer immediate results and don’t require ongoing wear of retainers to maintain your new look.

Each set of veneers is custom-made to match your facial features and desired outcome, offering a subtle yet transformative enhancement to your smile.

What is the process of getting dental veneers?

Getting dental veneers at WeSmile Dental is a precise and personalised process. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Initial Consultation & Smile Assessment

Book Your $48 Veneers Consultation

What’s included:

  • Oral health check-up
  • Full mouth X-rays
  • Smile analysis & veneer planning

Let’s design the smile you’ve always wanted — starting with a thorough consultation for just $48.

2. Tooth Preparation

  • For ceramic (porcelain) veneers, a thin layer of enamel is gently removed to create space for the veneer. Impressions and shade selection are then taken and sent to a dental lab to custom-create your veneers.
  • For composite veneers, minimal or no enamel removal is needed. The resin is sculpted directly onto your teeth during the appointment.

3. Temporary Veneers (For Ceramic Cases)

If you’re getting ceramic veneers, temporary veneers may be placed while your final veneers are being fabricated—usually taking about 7–10 working days.

4. Fitting the Final Veneers

Once ready, your dentist will try in the final veneers to check fit, shape, and shade. Adjustments can be made before they are permanently bonded using dental cement and a curing light.

5. Final Polish & Aftercare Advice

Your veneers are polished for a natural shine. You’ll receive personalised care tips to help you protect your new smile and maintain results long-term.

How much do dental veneers cost in Singapore?

Ceramic veneers are more expensive than composite but look whiter and brighter, and last for longer.

In Singapore, veneers can cost anywhere from $250 – $1,300+ per tooth (before GST). Your dentist will be able to advise you on the most suitable veneers for your teeth.

FAQs on Dental Veneers

Sometimes a dental veneer is used to correct a single tooth but most people choose to have between six to eight dental veneers in order to create an aesthetically pleasing smile. Dental veneers are most commonly applied to the top front eight teeth.

Porcelain (ceramic) veneers require two to three dental visits. After an initial examination, your dentist will take photos and impressions, prepare the teeth (often under local anaesthetic), and fit temporary veneers while the final set is crafted in a lab. Around 7 to 10 working days later, the permanent veneers are bonded using dental cement and UV light. Though the process takes longer, porcelain veneers are more durable and resistant to staining.

Composite veneers, made from tooth-coloured resin, are typically completed in a single visit. The resin is applied, shaped, and polished directly onto the teeth, giving you an instant smile makeover.

Ceramic dental veneers are irreversible and cannot be removed, as the structure of the natural teeth has been permanently altered. They will not last forever and should typically be replaced after 10 to 15 years.

Composite dental veneers do not require changes to the natural teeth and can be removed by a dentist. They usually last between 4 and 8 years.

Dental veneers are not the same as crowns. dental veneers offer only cosmetic enhancement whilst crowns improve appearance and play a structural role too.

Veneers are thinner and require less filing or grinding to prepare the tooth as they are applied only to the front surface. Crowns cover the entire tooth and may need to be secured with dental implants screwed into the bone.

Dental veneers can occasionally fall off, break or chip if you chew on something hard whilst eating. To protect your veneers, you should take care when biting into hard objects but in the unlikely event that any of your veneers become damaged, your dentist can re-cement or replace them.

Ceramic veneers do not stain, therefore your teeth veneers will remain white even after the consumption of red wine and coffee which are often responsible for the discolouration of natural teeth.

Ceramic dental veneers are irreversible and cannot be removed, as the structure of the natural teeth has been permanently altered. They will not last forever and should typically be replaced after 10 to 15 years.

Composite dental veneers do not require changes to the natural teeth and can be removed by a dentist. They usually last between 4 and 8 years.
