Smiles Peru Porcelain Veneers with digital technology
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic laminates created in our laboratory using digital technology. They are designed in the ideal shapes and sizes for each patient according to sex, age, smile line, and facial structure.
At Smiles Peru we use high-quality ceramics, including IPS e.max, a system with more than 10 years of clinical testing, over 40 million restorations, and a documented survival rate of 98.2%. This material allows a minimally invasive technique and highly aesthetic, long-lasting results.
Porcelain veneers correct:
- Discoloration or resistant stains
- Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth
- Spaces between teeth (diastemas)
- Slightly crooked or irregularly shaped teeth
- Short or uneven teeth
Advantages of Porcelain Veneers
- Very natural appearance thanks to the translucency of porcelain
- High resistance to staining
- Minimally invasive technique
- Improvement of shape, size, color, and small spaces between teeth
- Long-lasting results when properly cared for
The Porcelain Veneer Procedure
El proceso se realiza de forma cuidadosa y planificada:
- Evaluación y planificación
Analizamos tu caso, tomamos registros y definimos el diseño ideal de la sonrisa. - Preparación
Se elimina una pequeña porción del esmalte de la parte más superficial del diente para crear el espacio necesario para la carilla. El objetivo es preservar la mayor cantidad posible de estructura dental. - Impresiones y laboratorio
Tomamos impresiones de tu boca y preparamos los modelos que se envían a nuestro laboratorio dental. Allí se diseñan las carillas de porcelana para lograr la máxima precisión en forma y color. - Selección de color y colocación
El especialista en estética dental utiliza una guía de colores para la selección exacta del tono. Una vez listas, las carillas se cementan de forma definitiva.
En muchos casos, especialmente para pacientes que viajan a Lima, el tratamiento puede organizarse en un número reducido de visitas.

Who is a good candidate for Porcelain Veneers?
Anyone can be a good candidate for veneers or may become one through other treatments, such as orthodontics or endodontic therapy.
You are an ideal candidate if:
You are looking for a natural and long-lasting solution rather than whitening or composite restorations
You maintain good oral hygiene (this helps prolong the life of the veneers)
You have healthy gums and no active cavities
You wish to correct color, shape, size, or mild alignment issues
“They beat all my expectations.”
How long do Porcelain Veneers last?
When properly cared for, high-quality porcelain veneers can last many years. We use first-rate porcelain (including leading German/Swiss systems) that is designed to maintain its color and gloss over time.
Actual longevity depends on daily care, oral hygiene, habits such as bruxism, and regular check-ups.
Frequently Asked Questions about Porcelain Veneers
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic laminates created in our laboratory using digital technology, designed according to the patient’s facial structure, smile line, age, and aesthetic goals. At Smiles Peru we use high-quality systems such as IPS e.max, with a documented survival rate of 98.2%.
What is the procedure for porcelain veneers?
The process includes evaluation and smile design, minimal enamel preparation, impressions or digital scanning, laboratory fabrication, precise shade selection, and permanent bonding of the veneers.
Do porcelain veneers hurt?
Preparation is performed under local anesthesia when needed, so the procedure itself should not be painful. Mild temporary sensitivity for a few days after placement is common and usually resolves quickly.
Do porcelain veneers stain over time?
High-quality porcelain is highly resistant to staining and maintains its color and gloss better over time than resin veneers.
How many visits are needed?
The number of visits depends on the complexity of the case. In many treatments the phases can be concentrated into a limited number of appointments, which is convenient for patients traveling to Lima.
Do porcelain veneers require special care?
Excellent oral hygiene, regular check-ups, and avoiding biting hard objects are recommended. Patients who grind or clench may benefit from a protective night guard.
What is the difference between porcelain and resin veneers?
Porcelain veneers offer greater color stability, higher stain resistance, and superior longevity. Resin veneers are usually more economical and easier to repair, but they tend to stain and wear faster.
