Ultra-thin porcelain shells that transform shape, colour, and alignment.

What Is Dental Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are one of the most transformative procedures in cosmetic dentistry and one of the most precise. Each veneer is an ultra-thin shell, custom-crafted to fit over the front surface of a tooth, correcting colour, shape, length, and minor alignment in a single step.
At The Dental Atelier, veneers are designed digitally before fabrication begins. Dr. Aatika selects shade, shape, and proportion with you during a dedicated consultation so the final result reflects your goals, not a generic template.
The procedure is minimally invasive. A thin layer of enamel is gently prepared, impressions are taken, and temporary veneers protect your teeth while the final restorations are crafted in the laboratory. Most cases are complete in two appointments.

Designed For?
Porcelain veneers at The Dental Atelier by Dr Aatika in DHA Phase 2 Islamabad are designed digitally before fabrication, so you preview your result before any enamel is prepared. They are well suited to patients looking for a lasting cosmetic improvement — correcting colour, shape, and minor alignment — without orthodontic treatment.
Teeth that are chipped, worn, or permanently stained
Minor misalignment that does not require full orthodontics
Gaps between front teeth you would like to close
Teeth that are smaller or shorter than you would like
Anyone wanting a complete colour and shape transformation
Porcelain vs Composite Veneers
Both materials can transform a smile — the right choice depends on how much change you want, how long you want it to last, and how conservative you'd like the treatment to be.
Porcelain Veneers
Custom-fabricated in a dental laboratory from a digital scan or impression, then bonded to the tooth in a second appointment.
More durable — typically lasts 10 to 15 years or longer
Resists staining significantly better over time
Closely mimics the light-reflecting quality of natural enamel
Requires two appointments over one to two weeks
Involves removing a thin layer of enamel — not reversible
Any damage typically means remaking the veneer in the lab
Composite Veneers
Sculpted directly onto the tooth by hand, in a single visit, using the same tooth-coloured resin used for dental bonding.
Completed in a single appointment
More conservative — often little to no enamel removal
Easier and less costly to repair or touch up if chipped
Shorter lifespan — generally 3 to 10 years before refreshing
More prone to staining and minor chipping than porcelain
Relies heavily on the dentist's hand-sculpting skill for a natural finish
Are dental veneers permanent?
+
Porcelain veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which means the process is irreversible. However, the veneers themselves can be replaced when needed, typically after 10 to 15 years with proper care.
Do veneers damage your natural teeth?
+
A thin layer of enamel is prepared to accommodate the veneer. This is a controlled, minimal process carried out by the dentist. The underlying tooth structure is preserved.
How long do dental veneers last?
+
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or longer with good oral hygiene and regular check-ups. Avoiding habits like nail biting or grinding helps extend their lifespan.
Can veneers fix crooked or gapped teeth?
+
Veneers can correct the appearance of minor misalignment and close small gaps. For more significant crowding or bite issues, orthodontic treatment may be more appropriate.
