Dental veneers have revolutionized cosmetic dentistry, offering the secret behind those picture-perfect celebrity smiles you admire on screen. At Dr. Irfana’s Dental Studio in Jogeshwari West, Mumbai, we bring this transformative treatment within reach of every smile seeker. Whether you’re dealing with chipped teeth, discoloration, gaps, or uneven alignment, dental veneers can address multiple aesthetic concerns in a single, comprehensive treatment.
Gone are the days when achieving a flawless smile required extensive multiple procedures. Modern veneer technology allows us to create stunning smile transformations that look completely natural while preserving your tooth structure.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells crafted from high-quality materials that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. Think of them as a protective and beautifying cover that instantly transforms the appearance of your smile while maintaining the natural function of your teeth.
These wafer-thin coverings are designed to mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, ensuring your new smile looks authentic and radiant. At Dr. Irfana’s studio, we use advanced CAD/CAM technology to ensure perfect fit and natural aesthetics.
Types of Veneers Available at Dr. Irfana’s Studio
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers represent the gold standard in cosmetic dentistry. These premium veneers offer exceptional durability, stain resistance, and the most natural appearance. They typically last 10-15 years with proper care and are ideal for patients seeking long-term smile enhancement.
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers:
- Superior stain resistance
- Natural light reflection
- Exceptional durability
- Custom color matching
- Smooth, natural texture
Composite Veneers
Composite veneers offer a more budget-friendly option without compromising on aesthetics. Made from tooth-colored resin material, these veneers can often be completed in a single visit and are easily repairable if damaged.
Benefits of Composite Veneers:
- Cost-effective solution
- Single-visit application possible
- Reversible procedure
- Easy to repair or modify
- Minimal tooth preparation required
Lumineers (Ultra-Thin Veneers)
Lumineers are a specialized type of ultra-thin porcelain veneer that requires minimal to no tooth preparation. These “no-prep” veneers are perfect for patients who want to enhance their smile while preserving maximum natural tooth structure.
The Complete Veneer Procedure: From Consultation to Placement
Initial Consultation and Assessment
Your veneer journey at Dr. Irfana’s studio begins with a comprehensive consultation. During this visit, we evaluate your oral health, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if veneers are the right solution for you.
What to Expect:
- Digital smile analysis
- X-rays and oral examination
- Treatment planning discussion
- Cost estimation and timeline
- Before photos for comparison
Treatment Planning and Design
Using advanced digital imaging technology, we create a precise treatment plan tailored to your facial structure and personal preferences. This phase includes color selection, shape design, and smile line analysis.
Test drive
Using advanced digital software, we stimulate and prepare a mock/dummy design based on the initial discussion as per your expectations and transfer it onto your teeth with temporary materials for you to visually be able to comprehend the final result. Once you are satisfied with the shape, shade and the overall appearance of the smile, we proceed with the next steps to prepare your tooth for final veneers.
Tooth Preparation
For traditional veneers, a minimal amount of enamel (typically 0.5mm) is removed to accommodate the veneer thickness. This process is performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort.
Impression Taking and Temporary Veneers
Precise impressions of your prepared teeth are taken with the help of intraoral scanners and sent to our premium dental laboratory. Temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth and maintain aesthetics during the fabrication period.
Final Placement and Bonding
Once your custom veneers are ready, we carefully check the fit, color, and shape before permanent bonding. The bonding process uses advanced adhesive technology to ensure long-lasting results.
Final Adjustments and Polishing
Any necessary adjustments are made to ensure perfect bite alignment and comfort. Your veneers are then polished to achieve the desired luster and smoothness.
Case 1- 20/F patient visited with a chief complain of changing the appearance of her smile. She wanted to change the shape and colour of her teeth alongwith replacing the missing tooth on the left side.
After careful evaluation and digital planning, 8 EMAX veneers were planned. A test drive was conducted (dummy veneers) for the patient to easily comprehend how the final shape and colour of the teeth would appear thereby changing the overall appearance of the smile. Once a satisfactory result was achieved with the test drive, final veneers were fabricated and bonded according to the protocol.
The entire treatment was painless and was completed in 10 days. The patient was very happy with her new smile
Case 2- 45/M patient visited us with complain of yellow teeth. The patient desired a permanent solution and wanted white teeth.
After evaluation, 12 Emax veneers were planned. 6 for the upper arch and 6 for the lower arch.
The entire treatment was completed within a week and the patient flew back to his home country with a brighter and whiter smile
How Veneers Solve Multiple Aesthetic Issues Simultaneously
Discoloration and Staining
Veneers effectively cover severe discoloration that doesn’t respond to whitening treatments, including tetracycline staining, fluorosis, and age-related yellowing.
Chips and Cracks
Minor to moderate chips and cracks are completely concealed under the veneer surface, restoring both function and appearance.
Gaps Between Teeth
Small to moderate gaps can be closed with veneers, eliminating the need for orthodontic treatment in many cases.
Uneven or Irregularly Shaped Teeth
Veneers can create uniform tooth shape and size, providing a balanced, harmonious smile appearance.
Worn-Down Teeth
Teeth worn down by grinding or age can be restored to their original length and shape with veneers.
Maintenance Requirements for Long-Lasting Results
Daily Care Routine
Maintaining your veneers is similar to caring for natural teeth, with a few additional considerations:
- Brush twice daily with non-abrasive toothpaste
- Floss daily using proper technique
- Use an antimicrobial mouthwash
- Avoid excessive force when brushing
Foods and Habits to Avoid
While veneers are durable, certain precautions help maximize their lifespan:
- Limit hard foods like ice, nuts, and hard candies
- Avoid using teeth as tools
- Minimize staining beverages like coffee and red wine
- Quit smoking and tobacco use

Are veneers painful to get?
The veneer procedure is generally comfortable, with local anesthesia used during tooth preparation. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, which subsides within a few days.
