Veneers in Zurich
Every smile is unique and beautiful. But sometimes, small defects such as noticeable gaps such as characteristic diastemas, or minor damage, defects and misalignments can spoil their appearance, especially when they are located in the front tooth area. However, you don’t have to resign yourself to these flaws that prevent many patients from smiling openly and dent the confidence of quite a few people. With the options offered by modern dentistry, aesthetic tooth issues can be gently and easily hidden such as in the form of veneers.

Confusingly similar to natural teeth
Veneers are a trend that originated in the land of opportunity and especially in the American dream factory of Hollywood, and in the meantime, it has become long-established in Europe and Switzerland. What exactly are veneers?
The word “veneer” means “façade”. They are a translucent veneer that is made of ceramics or plastic that is individually customised for the patient. Not only can they hide discolouration in the front tooth area, they can also conceal minor misalignments or tooth damage. These wafer-thin ceramic veneers are permanently attached to the tooth or teeth entirely pain-free in our practice in Zurich. The veneers are almost impossible to differentiate from the natural tooth and discreetly ensure a harmonious and self-confident smile.
Veneers can be used for:
- Smaller gaps
- Teeth that are too short or too small
- Cracks in the teeth
- Broken tooth corners
- Minor damage following an accident
Even minor visual abnormalities such as discolouration or unevenness can be hidden in our Zahnboutique in Zurich. We will be happy to advise you on your options in our practice.
Our top priority is providing comprehensive advice and support for our patients, including when it comes to veneers. The first step in aesthetic dental treatment in our practice in Zurich starts with a detailed preliminary examination, including a scan of the current situation and an extensive discussion during which you can express your ideas. Only in this way can the veneers be customised and adjusted, thereby achieving a result that the patient is happy with in the long term. We will also transparently discuss the costs of providing you with the veneers during this appointment at Kreuzplatz in Zurich.
The veneers will then be made for you in a dental technology master laboratory and after just a few days, they will be adjusted to a millionth of a millimetre specifically for your teeth in our practice in Zurich. We can offer concealing unattractive front teeth with veneers to almost all of our patients in the Zahnboutique, but there are some patients who are less suitable for this aesthetic treatment, including those who suffer from bruxism. Grinding teeth every night can damage the thin veneers.
Veneers – beautiful teeth and especially gentle
Veneers are made from high-quality ceramics or a special type of plastic. As a result, they are especially similar to your natural tooth enamel in terms of transparency and light permeability, giving your teeth a vibrant appearance very similar to that of their surrounding natural counterparts. Coloured deposits such as coffee or tea do not adhere to the smooth ceramic surface, and bacteria have no chance of damaging the tooth, either.
In contrast to a crown, attaching veneers to the affected tooth is significantly gentler and involves less effort. The reason for this is that the tooth barely has to be sanded down or roughened, if at all. However, if this is the case, merely 0.3 mm to up to 1 mm of the tooth enamel is removed. In contrast to the tooth crown treatment, there is barely any noticeable damage to the hard substance of your teeth when veneers are applied to unattractive front teeth, making them an especially modern alternative that is gentle on your teeth. An additional advantage of the wafer-thin veneers is their durability. With high-quality and thorough dental care, the veneers can remain in place for ten years or more. Your dentist from the Zahnboutique in Zurich has many years of experience when it comes to applying veneers. That’s why we are your expert point of contact in Zurich’s inner city for a radiant and long-lasting smile.
