What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of medical-grade titanium, surgically embedded into the jawbone. They support a natural-looking crown that mimics your real tooth in appearance and function.
Unlike dentures or bridges, implants integrate directly with the bone, preventing bone loss and preserving your natural facial structure.
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of teeth to improve their shape, size, color, or alignment. They require only minimal enamel removal, making them a conservative and natural-looking solution for enhancing your smile

FAQs
Who is a good candidate for veneers?
Anyone looking to enhance their smile may benefit from veneers, provided they don’t have untreated cavities or gum disease. Veneers are ideal for people with chipped, stained, small, or unevenly spaced teeth.
What is the difference between veneers and crowns?
Veneers only cover the front surface of a tooth to improve its appearance, while crowns cover the entire tooth to provide both strength and protection. Veneers are mainly cosmetic, whereas crowns are restorative.
How long do veneers last, and do they require special care?
With proper care, veneers can last 10–15 years. They don’t require special maintenance—just regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups. Avoid biting hard foods directly with veneers and limit dark-colored drinks to prevent staining.
Are veneers permanent?
Most veneers are permanent, as a thin layer of enamel must be removed during placement. Some options, like no-prep veneers, are less invasive and may be reversible.
Do veneers damage your natural teeth?
No, veneers don’t harm your teeth. However, a small amount of enamel is usually removed to place them, and your natural teeth can still develop cavities if not cared for properly.
