Veneers (Malaysia)

Malaysia dental veneers offer affordable, high-quality, state-of-the-art facilities and highly trained dentists. Advanced technology like digital smile design (DSD) allows patients to preview and control their desired results, ensuring satisfaction.

What are dental veneers?

Dental veneers are custom-made thin porcelain or hybrid shells specially designed by a dentist that fit over the front surfaces of your teeth. It functions to enhance one’s smile, and it is one of the most chosen, long-term treatment option, addressing persistent cosmetic concerns such as:

  • Stains and discolouration that doesn’t improve with teeth whitening.
  • Chipped or broken teeth.
  • Teeth that are too small or misshapen.
  • Gaps between the teeth.

Teeth veneers are one of the most conservative approaches in cosmetic dentistry, requiring minimal labial thickness to accommodate the prosthesis. It offers long-term success, high level aesthetics, and improvement in shade, shape and symmetry. Effectively resolving most of the dental aesthetic issues.

What is the difference between dental veneers and dental crowns?

Dental veneers are cosmetic dentistry that only cover the front surfaces of your teeth, and it functions to enhance the aesthetics of your smile. A dental crown, however, covers the entire tooth structure, giving it strength to support and aid biting forces of a weakened tooth, effectively preventing the tooth from fracture.

Here at Hello Dental Clinic, we prioritise a conservative approach, offering various prosthesis designs from full crown, overlay, onlay, inlay, to veneers. Our goal is to achieve long-term success in both aesthetics and function while preserving as much natural teeth structure as possible. As the saying goes, “Less is more”!

The process?

Generally, it takes several visits to complete a veneer treatment.

Consultation and Record Taking

During the initial consultation, we utilise an intra-oral scan (IOS) Along with high-quality photographs and videos of the patient’s face, smile, and teeth to comprehensively assess the patient’s current dental condition and aesthetics.

Radiographic imaging would be advised if indicated. These images serve as a baseline for comparison throughout the treatment journey and are essential for analysis and smile design.

Digital Smile Design (DSD)

An analysis of the facial features using digital tools will be done to determine the ideal smile design that harmonises with the patient’s unique facial characteristics.

It is then used to superimpose the proposed smile design onto the patient’s photographs or 3D models, allowing both the dentist and the patient to visualise the potential outcome before treatment begins.

Mock-up

After the digital smile design (DSD) process is completed, the next stage is often the mock-up procedure, whereby a temporary mock-up or prototype of the proposed dental restoration is fabricated and placed over the teeth to give the patient a simulation of the final result.

The mock-up allows the patient to see and feel how the proposed dental work will look in their mouth. It also allows the dentist to make any necessary adjustments to the design before the final restorations are made.

Design and Plan Consent

During this visit, the dentist will present the golden ratio and the best smile design to you! There will be an interactive case discussion and before proceeding to the final step, consent will be taken.

Issue

Sometimes it takes 5–7 days, up to 2 weeks, for the lab to fabricate your custom-made veneers. Some clinics, however, do offer same day crown or veneer services, which will allow patients to get the dental restoration in one visit.

Here at Hello Dental Clinic, we provide Cerec solution, same day crown or veneer services for a comfortable, efficient and convenient dental treatment.
