Porcelain or composite
Porcelain veneers, including lithium disilicate (E.max), are lab-made, resist stains and often last over a decade. Composite veneers are sculpted on the tooth in one visit and cost less, but stain and chip sooner.
A one-week plan
Day one: photos, smile design and preparation with temporaries. The lab then needs five to seven days, which leaves time to enjoy the city, its gardens and the hot-spring spas nearby. At the second appointment the veneers are tried in, adjusted and bonded one by one.
What happens at each appointment
The teeth are lightly prepared under local anesthesia and scanned; temporaries let you test the shape. At the bonding visit the dentist checks fit and color before fixing each veneer, then adjusts the bite and polishes.
A natural-looking result
Avoid the too-white, too-uniform look. Ask for a mock-up before anything is permanent, choose a shade that suits your skin and eyes, and ask to see the dentist's own cases.
Is a veneer the right fix?
Whitening solves discoloration on healthy teeth; bonding fixes small chips; aligners straighten crowding; crowns are better for weak teeth. Veneers are not reversible.
Combining treatment
Do cleanings, fillings or gum treatment first so the veneers sit on healthy teeth, and whiten any teeth that will not get veneers before choosing the shade. Grouping everything in the same week saves a second flight.
Questions to ask
- How much enamel will be removed?
- Which lab makes the veneers?
- Is a night guard included if I grind?
- How do you handle a chipped veneer after I fly home?

Budget options
If eight to ten porcelain veneers are too much, veneers on the four to six most visible teeth plus whitening of the rest can give a strong result for less. Composite bonding on less visible teeth is another way to stage the cost. A good cosmetic dentist will design a phased plan rather than push the largest package.
Care after you go home
Brush and floss as usual, keep regular cleanings with your local dentist and avoid biting ice, pens or hard candy. If you grind your teeth, wear a night guard. Ask the clinic for a written record of the material, shade and lab used, so any dentist can repair a veneer later if needed.
Using the waiting days well
The five to seven days while the lab makes your veneers are free time. Many patients use them for a cleaning or small fillings, and the rest for gardens, museums and thermal spas around the city. Keep the temporaries in mind: avoid very hard or sticky food until the final veneers are bonded.
