A smile that still feels like you.
Veneers can refine the shape, shade and proportions of selected teeth while preserving the character of your smile. At Alejandra Hurtado, each treatment begins with a clinical assessment and is planned around your teeth, bite and goals.
Dental veneers are thin restorations bonded to the front surface of selected teeth. Made from composite resin or ceramic, they can refine details such as shape, proportion or shade. Whether veneers are appropriate—and how much preparation they require—depends on an individual dental assessment.
When clinically suitable, veneers may address details such as:
Subtle differences in the outline or size of selected teeth.
Specific color concerns when a restorative approach is appropriate.
Minor details that may be assessed for a restorative solution.
Certain spaces between teeth, when treatment suits the bite and overall plan.
Before recommending veneers, we assess your teeth, gums, oral health and bite, then discuss appropriate alternatives. Veneers are not the right choice for every smile.
Each material has different qualities and treatment considerations. The right option depends on your teeth, bite, aesthetic priorities and clinical assessment.
Composite resin can be shaped to refine the appearance of selected teeth. Depending on the case, it may be placed directly or made indirectly before being bonded.
Direct veneers: resin is applied and shaped on the tooth during the appointment.
Indirect veneers: the restoration is made outside the mouth and then bonded to the tooth. Your dentist can explain which approach is suitable for your case.
Ceramic veneers are custom restorations planned to refine the appearance of selected teeth. Their optical qualities can be designed to echo aspects of natural enamel.
Our ceramic work includes lithium disilicate veneers, with layered or characterized finishes where indicated.
Material, design and finish are chosen according to your clinical needs and aesthetic goals.
A natural-looking result is about more than a lighter shade. It considers how teeth relate to the lips, facial features and expression—while keeping oral health and function part of the conversation.
Planning may consider:
The aim is a considered change that feels in keeping with the person wearing it.
The sequence, number of appointments and timing vary with your clinical needs and the type of restoration.
We discuss what you hope to change and assess your teeth, gums and bite to determine whether veneers are an appropriate option.
We review suitable options and shape a treatment plan around your oral health, aesthetic goals and individual case.
If veneers are appropriate, preparation and fabrication depend on the material and clinical plan. Some cases need enamel preparation; others may allow a more conservative approach.
We check the fit, appearance and function of the restorations, then discuss care and follow-up.
Appointment count and treatment time vary from person to person. We’ll discuss realistic next steps after assessment.

Explore clinical casesThey differ in material, fabrication, appearance, maintenance and repair options. The right choice depends on your teeth, bite, goals and clinical assessment.
They can be planned to complement tooth shape, shade, proportions and facial features. The appearance depends on the individual case, material and design; no specific result can be promised.
Preparation varies. Some veneer plans require enamel reduction, while others may be more conservative. Your dentist should explain what your teeth would need before treatment begins.
Their lifespan varies with material, bite, habits, oral hygiene and follow-up care. Veneers are not permanent and may need maintenance or replacement over time.
Grinding or clenching can place extra stress on teeth and restorations. Your bite and habits should be assessed before treatment, and protective measures may be discussed if appropriate.
The fee depends on the material, number of teeth, case complexity and any additional care required. An assessment is needed to define a treatment plan and personalised estimate.
