Dental veneers in Palma de Mallorca
Dental veneers are thin layers of composite or porcelain bonded to the visible surface of the teeth to improve their colour, shape and size. They are one of the most effective ways to transform your smile when the problem is cosmetic and the teeth are healthy.
At Clínicas Udemax we fit them at Udemax Miramar and Emardental, in Palma, after studying your smile and designing the result with you. Your first visit is free and you can finance your treatment.

What are dental veneers?
They are very thin, custom-made layers bonded to the outer surface of the teeth, the part you see when you smile. They cover the tooth and give it a new colour, shape or size, with a natural look.
Depending on the material and technique, there are composite veneers, which are sculpted directly onto the tooth, and porcelain veneers, which are made in the laboratory. Lumineers are a type of ultra-thin porcelain veneer that needs little or no tooth preparation.
What do they correct?
Veneers are a good solution for:
- Stains or discolouration that whitening cannot remove.
- Worn, chipped or slightly broken teeth.
- Small, irregularly shaped or uneven teeth.
- Small gaps between the teeth (diastemas).
- Slight irregularities in position.
If the teeth are very crooked or crowded, orthodontics is usually the right treatment, sometimes combined with veneers at the end.
Types of dental veneers
We choose the type of veneer according to your case, the result you want and the condition of your teeth:
Composite veneers
Sculpted directly onto the tooth with resin, often in a single session. They are more affordable and can be repaired, although they wear and lose their shine sooner than porcelain.
Composite veneersPorcelain veneers
Custom-made in the laboratory. They are the most natural and durable, don't stain and last many years with good care.
Porcelain veneersLumineers veneers
Ultra-thin porcelain veneers that, in many cases, are fitted with little or no tooth preparation.
Lumineers veneersOnly bothered by the colour?
If your teeth have a good shape and you just want them whiter, professional tooth whitening is often enough.

Assessment and design
We check your teeth and gums, take photographs and records, and work out with you the shape, size and colour you want for your smile.
Preparation
Depending on the type of veneer, we carry out minimal enamel preparation or none at all. For porcelain veneers we take impressions for the laboratory and, while they are being made, you can wear temporaries.
Fitting
We bond the veneers with a specific adhesive, adjust the bite and polish. Composite veneers are usually fitted in a single session. With local anaesthetic when needed, the process is painless.
Composite or porcelain?
Composite veneers are more affordable, quicker to fit and can be repaired, but over the years they wear and lose their shine, so they usually need replacing sooner. Porcelain veneers look more natural, don't stain and last longer, although they need more visits and a bigger investment.
There is no single best option for everyone: it depends on your teeth, your habits (for example, if you clench or grind your teeth) and the result you are looking for. At your first visit we explain what suits you.
How to look after your veneers
With some simple care, your veneers will look great for many years:
- Brush twice a day and use floss or interdental brushes, just as with your natural teeth.
- Don't bite hard objects such as pens, nails or ice, or open packaging with your teeth.
- If you clench or grind your teeth, wear a night guard.
- Cut down on coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco, especially with composite veneers.
- Attend your check-ups: we polish the veneers and make sure they are still well bonded.

Frequently asked questions about dental veneers
Does getting veneers hurt?
No. If the tooth needs preparing, we use local anaesthetic. Composite veneers and Lumineers are often fitted without anaesthetic because the tooth is barely touched.
Do the teeth need to be filed down for veneers?
It depends on the type. Porcelain veneers usually need minimal enamel preparation; composite veneers and Lumineers often need little or none. We always aim to preserve as much natural tooth as possible.
How long do veneers last?
It depends on the material and how well they are cared for. As a guide, composite veneers usually last around 5 to 7 years, and porcelain veneers considerably longer, often more than 10 years.
Can veneers be whitened?
No. Veneers keep the colour they are made in. If you also want to whiten your teeth, it is best to do it before the veneers are fitted, so their colour can be matched.
Who can have veneers?
Adults with healthy teeth and gums who want to improve the colour or shape of their smile. If there is decay or gum disease, we treat it first. If you clench or grind your teeth, we assess it and a night guard is usually needed.
Can veneers be fitted in one day?
Composite veneers can, in many cases, be fitted in a single session. Porcelain veneers need several visits because they are made in the laboratory.
Can veneers be removed?
Composite veneers and those fitted without preparation can be removed or replaced. Porcelain veneers with tooth preparation cannot: if removed, they must be replaced with new ones.
How much do dental veneers cost in Palma?
It depends on the type of veneer and the number of teeth. Composite veneers are more affordable than porcelain. At your free first visit we give you a detailed quote, and you can finance your treatment.
