What exactly are Veneers ?
- Direct Veneers:
Direct veneers, also known as composite veneers, are applied directly to the tooth surface in a single dental visit. Firstly, the dentist uses a tooth-colored resin material to sculpt the veneer onto the teeth. Then, the material is layered to achieve the desired shape and color. As a result, this technique is less invasive and provides immediate results, making it a quick and effective option for improving your smile.
- Indirect Veneers:
Indirect veneers, commonly made from porcelain, are fabricated in a dental laboratory after your dentist takes impressions of your teeth. In the first appointment, your dentist will prepare your teeth and take the necessary impressions. Then, once the custom veneers are ready, you’ll return for the placement appointment. This method typically requires two visits to complete the process.
We utilize the state-of-the-art iTero scanner for all our dental services, ensuring precise, efficient, and comfortable scanning for optimal results.

How long do direct veneers last ?
Porcelain veneer teeth typically last between 10 to 12 years, while composite veneers usually need replacing sooner, lasting around 4 to 8 years. Regular dental hygiene and avoiding habits like nail-biting can significantly extend their lifespan, allowing you to maintain your beautiful smile for a longer period.
Who should not get veneers ?
Patients who habitually grind or clench their teeth, a condition known as bruxism, often experience tooth wear, jaw pain, and other dental issues. At JR Medical, we offer effective solutions for bruxism. Patients can choose from options like a custom night guard, which protects teeth during sleep, or Botox injections that relax jaw muscles and alleviate grinding. Both treatments provide relief and protect your oral health.
