Porcelain Veneers Chembur — DSD-Planned Smile
You approve your new smile on screen before a single tooth is reshaped. Hand-layered emax porcelain, two-visit delivery, written quote per tooth.
Porcelain veneers in Chembur cost from ₹9,500 per tooth (emax) to ₹18,000 (feldspathic / hand-layered) at Urban Smiles, with composite veneers from ₹4,500. Dr. Rini Dass — DSD-certified, 500+ smile-design cases — designs your new smile in software first; you approve the look before any enamel is touched. Two-visit delivery with provisional veneers between visits.
Who this is for
- Adults with permanent staining (tetracycline, fluorosis) that whitening alone won't fix.
- Chipped, worn or cracked front teeth wanting a single-treatment smile reset.
- Patients with small front-tooth gaps who don't want 12 months of aligners.
- Pre-wedding, pre-event or career-milestone smiles needing a 7–10 day turnaround.
- Smile-line cases (8–10 teeth) — full-mouth veneers are rarely the right answer and we'll say so.
What we don't do
- We don't prep 10 teeth when 8 will frame the smile line — over-veneering is the most common over-treatment we undo.
- We don't reshape enamel when composite layering or whitening alone gets the same result.
- We don't deliver "Hollywood row-of-tiles" prosthetics — translucency, edge variation and micro-texture stay in the design.
- We don't skip the DSD step to save time — a try-in approval before bonding is the safest cosmetic step we offer.
- We don't prescribe veneers if aligners would correct the underlying problem — DSD shows you both routes.
When to consider Porcelain Veneers
You may benefit from porcelain veneers in Chembur if you notice:
- Permanent staining whitening can't lift (tetracycline, fluorosis, internal bleaching limits)
- Chipped, worn or cracked front teeth
- Small gaps between front teeth (diastema)
- Mildly rotated front teeth where you don't want full orthodontics
- Pre-wedding or career-milestone smile reset on a 30-day timeline
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers at Urban Smiles

- Long-lasting: 10–15 years for emax porcelain in well-maintained mouths
How the procedure works
-
DSD preview & 3D records
HD portraits + smile videos + intraoral 3D scan. Software overlays multiple smile designs onto your photos; you choose your favourite before anything is touched.
Equipment: DSD software · 3D intraoral scanner · DSLR rig
Why it matters: You approve the look on screen first — the cheapest place to disagree is before any drilling.
-
Try-in mock-up (optional)
3D-printed mock-up tried directly on your teeth so you can see and feel the planned shape and length in your mouth before committing.
Equipment: Bisacrylic mock-up · 3D-printed try-in
Why it matters: In-mouth preview avoids the "looked good on screen, wrong in real life" mismatch.
-
Minimal prep
Approximately 0.3–0.5 mm of enamel is reshaped under local anaesthesia, guided by the DSD-derived prep template. No drilling into the deeper dentine.
Equipment: DSD-derived prep guide · fine diamond burs · magnification
Why it matters: Conservative reduction; future re-treatment options preserved.
-
3D scan & temporaries
3D intraoral scan replaces putty impressions. Provisional veneers go on the same visit — chairside or via in-house mill — so you leave with a working, presentable smile.
Equipment: 3D intraoral scanner · provisional resin
Why it matters: No goopy trays; never sent home without teeth.
-
Lab fabrication
5–7 working days for hand-layered emax porcelain by a senior ceramist working from your DSD record. Shade and translucency calibrated to your photos.
Equipment: CAD/CAM mill · pressed emax · hand-layering kit
Why it matters: Aesthetic detail (incisal halo, translucency, surface micro-texture) hand-layered, not generic-machine-finished.
-
Try-in & bonding
Veneers tried in with try-in paste; shape, fit and shade verified before permanent bonding. Adjustments done live; bonded with adhesive resin only after you approve.
Equipment: Try-in paste · adhesive resin · curing light · articulating paper
Why it matters: Last sign-off is yours, not ours. Bite balanced before you leave.
Who is eligible?
- Adults with healthy gums and no active decay
- No severe bruxism (or willingness to wear a night guard nightly)
- Stable bite — major occlusion issues handled first
- Realistic expectations set via DSD preview
- Adequate enamel for bonding (we assess at consult)
Aftercare & recovery
- Avoid biting hard objects directly on front teeth (nuts, bones, ice, pen caps)
- Custom night guard if you grind — non-negotiable for longevity
- 6-monthly cleaning — essential to prevent margin staining
- Non-abrasive toothpaste; soft-bristle brush
- Floss daily — prevents gum recession at the cervical margin
- Whitening, if planned, is done before veneers (veneers don't lighten with bleach)

Porcelain Veneers — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything patients in Chembur and Mumbai ask before their porcelain veneers appointment.
emax veneers from ₹9,500 per tooth; feldspathic / fully hand-layered ₹14,000–₹18,000; zirconia ₹12,000–₹16,000; composite veneers from ₹4,500. Most smile-line cases use 8 veneers — we never over-prescribe to 10 or 12 just to lift the bill.
For most patients, 6–8 cover what people see when you smile. Smile-line analysis during the DSD preview tells us exactly. Going to 10 or 12 is rarely the right call — we'll say so explicitly.
Conventional veneers reshape ~0.3–0.5 mm of enamel — less than a typical filling. Ultra-thin / no-prep options (often called Lumineers) reshape even less. Composite veneers are largely additive. Conservative reduction is the modern standard.
Porcelain (emax / feldspathic): 10–15 years on average; some patients reach 20+. Zirconia: similar. Composite: 4–7 years before refresh. Lifespan is decided by night-guard use, hygiene and bite — not by the porcelain itself.
When designed and bonded well, no. Translucency, edge variation, surface micro-texture and a natural smile arc are what avoid the "Hollywood row of tiles" look. DSD avoids that mismatch by design.
Aligners fix alignment, not colour or shape. Veneers fix colour, shape and minor alignment. Crowns are for heavily broken or RCT-treated teeth. The honest answer often blends two — for example, aligners first, then a small number of veneers. DSD shows you both routes side by side.
Usually yes — we whiten the teeth that won't be veneered first, then shade-match the veneers to the brightened result. Whitening doesn't change the colour of porcelain, so the sequence matters.
Conventional porcelain veneers: no, some enamel is reshaped. Composite veneers and ultra-thin / no-prep veneers: largely reversible. We'll be explicit at the consult about which route fits your case.
