A natural-looking smile, precisely designed
Lithium disilicate veneers are thin cosmetic restorations made from a high-performance ceramic material used in dentistry for its ability to combine aesthetics, strength and precision.
Placed on the visible surface of the teeth, they can help change the shape, proportions and color of the smile, with a result designed to harmonize with the facial features and each person’s individual characteristics.
What are lithium disilicate veneers?
Dental veneers are thin ceramic restorations designed to cover the visible front surface of affected teeth.
Lithium disilicate is a reinforced glass ceramic used in restorative and cosmetic dentistry. Its optical properties help create natural-looking restorations, while its mechanical properties make it suitable for a range of clinical situations.
Each veneer is designed with the characteristics of the smile and the desired result in mind.

Lithium disilicate and a natural look: the role of light
One of the most important aspects of cosmetic dentistry is how light interacts with the tooth.
The structure and optical properties of lithium disilicate allow restorations to be made with varying levels of translucency and brightness, contributing to a natural appearance.
The shade and aesthetic features are tailored to each patient's smile, avoiding a one-size-fits-all result.
