What are veneers?

A veneer is a thin covering fixed to the front surface of a tooth to change how it looks. The Oral Health Foundation compares them to false nails fitted over natural nails. Veneers are a cosmetic treatment: they change the colour, shape or position of the front surface of the tooth, but they don’t treat disease.

According to the Oral Health Foundation, veneers can help with:

  • teeth that are discoloured and don’t respond to whitening,
  • chipped or worn teeth,
  • small gaps between teeth,
  • teeth that are uneven in shape or look slightly crooked.

Porcelain vs. composite veneers

There are two main types:

  • Porcelain (ceramic) veneers are made in a dental laboratory to fit your tooth. They resist staining well. Several clinics in our list, including some with their own laboratory, advertise ceramic veneers.
  • Composite veneers are made from tooth-coloured filling material. The dentist usually shapes them directly on the tooth, often in a single visit. They are generally cheaper than porcelain but may stain or chip more easily, and they tend to need repairing or replacing sooner.

Ask the clinic which type it recommends for your teeth, and why.

What happens during treatment

For porcelain veneers, treatment usually takes at least two visits:

  1. Planning. The dentist examines your teeth and gums and discusses the shape and shade you want. Some clinics use digital smile design or a trial “mock-up” so you can preview the result.
  2. Preparation. According to the Oral Health Foundation, a small amount of enamel is usually removed from the front of the tooth so the veneer isn’t bulky. An impression or digital scan is sent to the laboratory, and you may get temporary veneers.
  3. Fitting. At the next visit, the veneer is bonded (glued) to the tooth with a strong dental adhesive.

Removing enamel can’t be undone. Enamel doesn’t grow back, so a tooth prepared for a porcelain veneer will normally always need some kind of covering, such as a new veneer or a crown. Think carefully before treating healthy teeth for purely cosmetic reasons, and ask whether a less invasive option, such as whitening, bonding or orthodontics, could get a similar result.

Who are veneers not suitable for?

Veneers need healthy teeth and gums underneath. Tooth decay and gum disease should be treated first. If you grind or clench your teeth, veneers are more likely to chip or come loose, so tell the dentist; they may recommend a night guard. Veneers may not be the best option for teeth that are heavily filled or badly damaged, where a crown might be more appropriate.

How long do veneers last?

The Oral Health Foundation says veneers can last many years if they’re looked after properly, but they can chip, crack or come loose. Small chips can sometimes be repaired; otherwise the veneer has to be replaced. Porcelain veneers generally last longer than composite ones. Brushing twice a day, cleaning between your teeth and regular check-ups all help them last.

Does Czech health insurance cover veneers?

No. Veneers are cosmetic treatment, so you pay the full price yourself. See our guide to Czech health insurance and dental care.

What affects the cost of veneers in Prague?

  • Material: porcelain or composite.
  • How many teeth you’re treating. Many people have veneers on the teeth visible when they smile, not just one.
  • Planning and preparation: digital design, mock-ups, temporary veneers.
  • Laboratory work, and whether the clinic has its own lab.
  • Preliminary treatment, such as hygiene, fillings or whitening of the other teeth so they match.

Questions to ask before getting veneers

  • Am I a good candidate for veneers, or would another treatment be less invasive?
  • Porcelain or composite: which do you recommend for me, and why?
  • How much enamel will you remove?
  • Can I see a preview of the result before you prepare my teeth?
  • How many visits will I need? If I’m travelling, how long do I need to stay in Prague?
  • What guarantee do you give, and what happens if a veneer chips or comes off?
  • Can I have the full treatment plan and price in writing?

Coming to Prague for veneers

  • Plan your dates around the clinic, not the other way round. Ask for the full treatment timeline before you book flights, and leave a spare day in case an appointment moves.
  • Bring your records. Recent X-rays, a list of medications and allergies, and notes from your own dentist help the clinic plan.
  • Get everything in writing, in English: the treatment plan, the price and what it includes, and the guarantee terms.
  • Think about aftercare at home. Ask what to do if you have a problem after you’ve gone home, and whether your dentist at home will be able to look after the work.
