We work very closely with master ceramists from around the world. Dr. Chawla and his Lab team overlook every step of the makeover journey for every patient to ensure seamless communication between the clinician, patients desires and the ceramic artists. This helps to provide an unsurpassed level of quality and customization. We use our own blend of ceramic recipes and layering techniques that closely mimics natural teeth, to help create facial harmony through the smile with the face and the personality of the patient giving results that seem natural and not artificial.

First appointment – The simulation and test drive

Maintenance and Recall
Your new permanent veneers if treated properly should last up to 15 years or more after their placement. Most patients get used to them within 1-2 months of placement that’s when the muscles around the lips and face adapt to the new smile hence enhancing the natural appearance more than when they were put in.
