What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin ceramic shells. It's about as thick as a contact lens, that bond to the front of your teeth. Think of them as a high-quality facade that covers imperfections while keeping most of your natural tooth intact. Unlike crowns that require heavy grinding, veneers remove only 0.3-0.5mm of enamel (sometimes none at all with no-prep options). Once bonded, they become part of your tooth structure, not a temporary fix.
Why Get Porcelain Veneers?
Veneers solve smile problems that whitening and braces can't fix alone. They work when you have:
from medication, fluorosis, or root canals that whitening can't touch
from grinding that make you look older
you want fixed without years of orthodontics
that throw off your smile symmetry
If you ignore these issues, they often worsen: chips get bigger, stains darken, and worn teeth continue grinding down. Porcelain veneers stop that progression while giving you the smile design you actually want.
The Porcelain Veneers Process: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Digital Smile Design & Planning (Day 1, ~2 hours)
Your dentist photographs your smile, takes 3D scans or impressions, and creates a digital mockup showing your final result. You approve the design before anyone touches your teeth. X-rays check for underlying issues. If you're a good candidate, you'll see temporary veneers placed the same day.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation & Temporary Veneers (Day 2, ~3-4 hours)
Under local anesthesia, your dentist removes a thin layer of enamel to create space for the veneer (0.3-0.5mm, barely noticeable). Impressions or digital scans go to the lab. You leave with natural-looking temporary veneers that let you "test drive" your new smile while the permanent ones are crafted.
Step 3: Final Placement & Bonding (Day 4-5, ~4-5 hours)
Your custom veneers arrive from the lab. You try them on without bonding to check fit, color, and shape. Adjustments happen now, not after they're glued on. Once you approve, your dentist bonds them with dental adhesive and hardens everything with a special light. Final polish, bite check, and you're done.
Timeline: Most patients complete the process in 5-7 days with 3-4 appointments. Same-city patients can spread visits over weeks; travelers typically stay 5-7 days.

Common Questions About Dental Veneers in Vietnam
The prep work is done under local anesthesia, you feel pressure but no pain. Afterward, some people have mild sensitivity to hot/cold for a few days, managed with normal painkillers. If someone tells you it's completely painless forever, they're overselling
Yes. Digital smile design shows you the final result before prep work starts. You also wear temporary veneers for several days, which are very close to your finals. No surprises.
About 0.3-0.5mm, roughly half a millimeter. For context, your enamel is 2-3mm thick, so we're taking about 15-20% of the front surface. Some ultra-thin veneers need even less or none at all.
Perfect. Most international patients complete everything in 5-7 days. Book appointments before you arrive, and clinics will coordinate your schedule.
You try them on without permanent bonding first. We make color adjustments before the final cementing. Once bonded, changing color means starting over.
Stick to soft foods and avoid anything super sticky or hard. Temporaries are meant to look good, not withstand steak dinners. Your permanent veneers handle normal eating fine.
First visit: 2 hours. Prep day: 3-4 hours. Final placement: 4-5 hours. Follow-up check: 30 minutes. Block out full mornings or afternoons.
Don't schedule back-to-back meetings.
10-15 years on average with decent care. Premium Emax often hits 15-20 years. They don't last forever. Nothing in dentistry does. But they're highly durable.
Vietnam isn't just cheap. It's genuinely competitive for dental tourism. Here's why people fly here for smile makeovers:
International patients trust Vietnamese clinics because many dentists trained in Australia, the US, or Europe and brought those standards back. You'll find the same Emax, Ivoclar, and CAD/CAM technology as Western clinics. Major cities have multiple quality options, so you're not stuck with one provider. English communication is standard in clinics serving expats and tourists. The 5-7 day timeline lets you combine treatment with travel. Feel free to explore Hanoi's Old Quarter, Ha Long Bay, or Hoi An between appointments.
