About This Treatment

Porcelain veneers are custom-made, wafer-thin shells of dental ceramic that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. They can correct a range of cosmetic issues including discolouration, chips, gaps, minor misalignment, and uneven tooth shapes. Each veneer is individually crafted to match the desired colour, shape, and size. The process usually takes two appointments. At the first visit, a small amount of enamel (typically 0.3-0.7mm) is removed from the front of each tooth to make room for the veneer. Impressions or digital scans are taken, and temporary veneers are placed. The permanent veneers are fabricated in a laboratory, then bonded to your teeth at the second appointment using a strong dental adhesive. Modern veneer materials like E-max (lithium disilicate) and layered porcelain offer outstanding aesthetics with excellent durability. Veneers are a popular choice for patients who want a significant cosmetic improvement without the more extensive preparation required for crowns.

Duration

3-7 days from preparation to final bonding

Stay Required

5-8 days

Visits

1 visit (2-3 appointments over several days)

Materials

IPS e.max (lithium disilicate), Feldspathic porcelain, Lumineers

Typically Included

  • Consultation and smile design planning
  • Digital scan or impressions
  • Tooth preparation (minimal enamel removal)
  • Temporary veneers while permanent ones are made
  • Laboratory fabrication of porcelain veneers
  • Final bonding and polishing
  • Colour and shape customisation

Not Usually Included

  • Teeth whitening (recommended before veneers to match shade)
  • Flights and travel insurance
  • Replacement if damaged after treatment (warranty terms vary by clinic)
  • Post-operative medication (minor cost locally)

Good Candidates

  • Adults with discoloured, chipped, or slightly misaligned front teeth
  • People who want a cosmetic improvement without orthodontics
  • Patients with gaps between teeth that they want closed
  • Those with healthy teeth and gums (gum disease must be treated first)
  • People who understand veneers are irreversible due to enamel removal

Risks & Considerations

  • Irreversible — enamel removal means you will always need veneers or crowns on those teeth
  • Increased tooth sensitivity for the first few weeks, especially to hot and cold
  • Veneers can chip or debond if you bite very hard objects (ice, bottle caps, etc.)
  • Colour cannot be changed after bonding, so whitening should be done beforehand

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do porcelain veneers cost in Krakow?

Porcelain Veneers in Krakow typically cost £200-£380 per per veneer. This is significantly less than the UK average of £900.

Is Krakow safe for porcelain veneers?

Yes. Krakow is a well-established dental tourism destination. MyDentalFly only lists verified clinics with international accreditations. The same implant brands and materials used in the UK are available at partner clinics.

How long do I need to stay in Krakow for porcelain veneers?

You'll typically need to stay 5-8 days in Krakow. Most treatments can be completed in a single trip.

How many veneers do I need?

Most patients get veneers on their upper front 6-10 teeth, as these are the most visible when smiling. Your dentist will recommend the right number based on your smile line and goals.

What is the difference between porcelain and composite veneers?

Porcelain veneers are made in a lab, last longer (10-15 years), resist staining better, and look more natural. Composite veneers are applied directly in one visit, cost less, but typically last 5-7 years and may stain over time.

Will my veneers look fake or too white?

Not if done well. A skilled cosmetic dentist will match the shade and shape to look natural. You choose the shade — it can be bright white or a more natural off-white, depending on your preference.

Why is Krakow becoming popular for dental tourism?

Krakow combines EU-regulated dental care with prices 40-60% lower than the UK. The city has a strong medical tradition through Jagiellonian University, excellent flight connections, and is one of Europe's most affordable and beautiful cities to visit.

How does Krakow compare to Budapest for dental work?

Both cities offer EU-regulated dental care at similar price points. Budapest has a longer dental tourism track record and more established clinics. Krakow is newer to the scene but growing fast, with slightly lower living costs and a charming Old Town. Flight times from London are nearly identical.
