In brief

A veneer is a fraction of a millimetre of porcelain. What makes it yours is everything we learn before it is made.

Porcelain veneers at Mineers Smile Center are custom-crafted ultra-thin ceramic shells bonded to the front of your teeth, correcting colour, chips, gaps and shape. Every case begins with a Digital Smile Design preview, so you approve your result before treatment starts.

01 / Consultation

We listento you.

Every Mineers smile begins with a conversation. Before anything is designed, we study the person: your face, your features, your personality, and the way you smile when you are not thinking about it.

High-resolution portraits record your facial proportions and your natural smile. They become the reference that every later decision is checked against.

Microscope examination

A full check under the microscope finds anything that needs treating before cosmetic work begins, so your design is built on healthy teeth.

  4. Personalize

Your new smile is designed on screen around your face: its midline, the curve of your lower lip, the proportion of each tooth to the next. Shape, length and shade are set for you, never taken from a catalogue.

Questions

Porcelain veneers,answered.

01How much do porcelain veneers cost in Beirut?

Every plan is different, so the cost is discussed with you at your consultation, once your teeth have been examined and your treatment is planned.

02Are veneers painful?

Veneer placement is minimally invasive, and most patients find it comfortable. A small amount of enamel is gently removed and local anaesthesia is used if needed. Most patients experience little to no discomfort.

03How many appointments does a veneer treatment take?

Typically 2–3 appointments: a smile design consultation, tooth preparation and temporaries, then fitting of the final porcelain veneers.

04Can veneers fix crooked, stained, or chipped teeth?

Yes — porcelain veneers at Mineers Smile Center can correct the appearance of crooked, gapped, stained, chipped, or uneven teeth, giving you a complete smile transformation.
