What are porcelain veneers?
A porcelain veneer is a very thin, custom-made shell of tooth-coloured porcelain bonded to the front of a tooth. Covering the visible surface lets veneers reshape teeth and improve their colour, shape and alignment for a more uniform, natural-looking smile.
At Prudent Dental Clinic in Viman Nagar, veneers are planned and placed by Dr. Puja Bansal (BDS), who has a focus in cosmetic and aesthetic dentistry. Each shell is custom made by a dental laboratory in Pune for the right shape and shade. Treatment starts with a consultation, so the result is planned around your smile.
Key takeaways
- Porcelain veneers are thin, custom shells bonded to the front of teeth to improve shape, colour and alignment.
- They are a cosmetic option, used to reshape teeth rather than treat decay or gum disease, which are addressed first.
- Treatment usually takes two visits, with little or no anaesthesia typically required.
- Veneers are durable but not permanent and may need replacement over time.
- At Prudent Dental Clinic, veneers are placed by Dr. Puja Bansal (BDS), and cost is quoted individually after a consultation.
What does getting porcelain veneers involve?
1
Consultation & smile planning
We examine your teeth and gums, discuss the look you want, and agree which teeth to treat and a shade with you.
2
Tooth preparation & impression
The front of each tooth is lightly shaped to make room for the veneer, and an impression is taken for the laboratory.
3
Laboratory fabrication
A dental laboratory custom makes each porcelain veneer to the agreed shape and colour while you wait between visits.
4
Bonding & finishing
At the second visit the teeth are cleaned, the veneer is bonded with adhesive cement, and a curing light sets the bond.
You will receive aftercare instructions once your veneers are fitted. Proper brushing, flossing and regular dental check-ups help your veneers last.
Veneers vs crowns vs teeth whitening
| Option | How much tooth is altered | Mainly fixes | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Porcelain veneer | A thin layer shaped from the front of the tooth | Shape, colour and minor alignment of front teeth | Reshaping chipped, worn, stained or unevenly spaced front teeth |
| Crown | The whole tooth is reduced and capped | Strength of a broken-down or heavily filled tooth | Teeth that need full coverage as well as an improved look |
| Teeth whitening | No tooth surface is removed | Surface and deeper staining only | Lightening the shade of otherwise healthy, well-shaped teeth |
The right choice depends on the condition and position of your teeth and what you want to change. Dr. Bansal will recommend what suits you at your consultation.

There is no single price. What you pay depends on your own mouth, so we examine first and give you a written, itemised quote rather than publishing a flat figure that would not apply to you.
