Porcelain and Composite Veneers in Mumbai
Veneers are thin, tooth-coloured shells bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their colour, shape, size and alignment. They are made of either porcelain (ceramic) or composite resin. At Lokdant, veneers are planned by cosmetic dentist Dr. Viraj Kakade to suit your face, smile line and skin tone, so the result looks natural, not artificial.
Who are veneers for?
Stained or discoloured teeth that do not lighten with whitening
Chipped, cracked or worn front teeth
Small gaps between front teeth
Uneven, short or oddly shaped teeth
Mildly crooked teeth (for larger alignment issues, aligners or braces are better)
Veneers are not suitable if you have untreated decay or gum disease, or heavy grinding without a night guard. These are treated first.

How the veneer process works at Lokdant
Smile consultation:
We check teeth and gums, discuss what you want to change, and take photos and X-rays.
Smile design:
Shape and shade are planned to suit your face. For porcelain, a trial (mock-up) lets you preview the result.
Preparation:
For porcelain, a thin layer of enamel is shaped and impressions or scans are taken. Temporary veneers protect the teeth while the lab makes the final ones.
Bonding:
Veneers are bonded with strong dental cement and the bite is checked. Composite veneers are built, shaped and polished directly on the teeth in one sitting.
Review:
A follow-up visit to check comfort, bite and gums.
Caring for your veneers
Brush twice a day and floss daily, like natural teeth
Avoid biting nails, pens, ice or opening packets with your teeth
Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
Limit tea, coffee and tobacco, especially with composite veneers
Visit every 6 months for a check-up and polish
