How do dentists match veneer shades with natural teeth?

Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments — and for good reason. But like any procedure, they come with both benefits and considerations.

✅ Pros of Porcelain Veneers

  • Natural appearance: Mimic the translucency and shine of real enamel
  • Stain resistance: Less likely to discolour than natural teeth
  • Durability: Last 10–15 years or more with good care
  • Custom fit: Made to suit your smile shape, size, and shade goals

⚠️ Cons of Porcelain Veneers

  • Cost: More expensive than bonding or composite veneers
  • Irreversible: Requires enamel removal, so the tooth will always need some form of covering
  • Not repairable: If damaged, veneers typically need to be replaced
  • May cause sensitivity right after placement (usually temporary)
