Veneer Specialist in Pattaya
Veneers are considered a form of cosmetic dentistry, a kind of restoration which can change your damaged tooth surface to a brighter, white smile. Dental veneers are a thin layer of semi-translucent material like porcelain or composite resin that is placed over the front surface of teeth. Veneers can be an excellent option for discoloured, worn or chipped teeth.
Veneers can solve the problems such as grayish-coloured teeth caused by tetracycline, or restore teeth that are decayed, abrasive, worn or chipped to their natural colours and sizes. Veneers also strengthen and add durability to your teeth.
As ceramic enamels used in veneers resist stains from food, cigarette, tea, and coffee, you do not have to worry about these problems anymore.
Types of materials used for veneers:
We select the latest developed IPS Empress II System and IPS Empress Esthetics from Ivoclar Vivadent for veneers. The opalescent IPS Empress II has been developed in both quality and aesthetic to be a special translucent and shiny material that closely resembles the surfaces of human tooth enamel.

Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays can help restore a decayed molar that requires a large portion of filling. Inlays and onlays are usually made from porcelain, gold, or composite resin. To make it fit perfectly into the natural tooth, an impression of the decayed tooth is made in a dental laboratory. Inlays and onlays are suitable for different needs.
An onlay is the filling placed on top of the tooth.
An inlay is a large filling placed inside a hole in the tooth. It is more durable.
Types of Inlays and Onlays
- Inlays and onlays made from gold are more durable
- Inlays and onlays made from porcelain give the natural look
- Inlays and onlays made from composite resin are the most popular because they give more natural looking and long lasting result than the porcelain.
Problems that require inlays and onlays

Treatment Processes

Benefits of Inlays and Onlays
