Dream of a flawless smile? Veneers offer a transformative solution for chipped, stained, or misaligned teeth. In Nairobi, dental veneers blend artistry with advanced dentistry to create natural-looking, confidence-boosting results. Here’s your complete guide.

While veneers are a long-lasting dental solution, they are not considered completely permanent because they may need to be replaced over time. However, the process of getting veneers is irreversible, meaning once you receive them, your teeth will always require some form of veneer or restoration.
To place veneers, a dentist typically removes a small amount of enamel from the front surface of your teeth. Since enamel does not grow back, your teeth will always need a covering, making the procedure a lifelong commitment to veneers or another type of dental restoration.
