Veneers & smile makeover in Vijayawada

Veneers are thin, tooth-coloured shells bonded to the front of teeth to change their colour, shape or size, and a smile makeover combines veneers with other treatments as one plan. At GIA Clinics in Vijayawada, veneers are planned by Dr Lalitya Dandamudi at both our Gunadala and Gurunanak Colony clinics.

Is it right for you

Who it suits.

Your first visit answers this properly, with an examination and, where needed, a scan, before you commit to anything.

Usually suits you if

  • Chipped, worn or uneven front teeth
  • Discolouration that whitening does not lift
  • Small gaps between front teeth
  • Teeth that look too small or uneven in shape

Tell us first if

  • Teeth grinding or clenching
  • Gum disease or decay, which needs treating first
  • Crowded or crooked teeth, where aligners may suit better first
  • If you want teeth whitened, as this is done before veneers are matched
What happens, step by step

Questions

Common questions.

Answers to be checked by the doctor

Are veneers reversible?

Ceramic veneers usually need a thin layer of enamel removed, so they are not reversible. Composite veneers often need little or no shaping.

How long do veneers last?

With good care they often last many years. Biting hard objects and grinding can chip them, and they may need replacing over time.

Can I whiten veneers later?

No, veneers do not change colour with whitening. If you want whiter teeth, whiten first and then match the veneers.

What is a smile makeover?

It is one plan that may combine whitening, veneers, bonding, crowns or aligners to change the overall look of your smile.
