At Vita Dental Laboratory, our Cosmetic & Smile Design service transforms smiles through a harmonious blend of art and science. Whether you seek minimal-prep veneers or a fully digital smile makeover, our solutions prioritize facial harmony, functional stability, and long-lasting esthetics. Leveraging advanced materials and a patient-centric workflow, we ensure each case is as unique as the individual wearing it.
Successful cosmetic cases begin with a comprehensive evaluation of facial proportions, lip dynamics, gingival display, and occlusal function. We collaborate with you to define bespoke smile parameters incisal edge position, buccal corridors, and tooth‐to‐gum ratios ensuring each restoration complements both form and function. High-resolution facial and intraoral photographs, combined with patient expectations, guide our planning phase.
Choosing the right veneer material is pivotal for achieving optimal esthetics and longevity.
Monolithic & Multilayered Zirconia Veneers
E.max (Lithium Disilicate) Veneers
Our zirconia veneers combine digital design with presintered block milling to achieve micro-precision margins (≤50 µm). Multilayered discs replicate natural enamel-dentin transitions, reducing the need for external stains. Post-sinter glazing and polishing confer a lifelike surface luster, while the material’s fracture resistance ensures durable performance even in bruxism patients.
Lithium disilicate veneers are the gold standard for ultra-esthetic anterior cases. Pressed or CAD/CAM-milled workflows yield seamless margins and high‐definition surface textures. Our bonding protocol, using silane coupling and resin cements, creates a hermetic seal that minimizes microleakage and enhances biomechanical integration with remaining tooth structure.
Our fully digital process starts with intraoral and facial scans, merged in industry-leading software for three-dimensional smile simulation. Virtual articulator analysis verifies occlusal schemes, while digital wax-ups align tooth shape with phonetics and lip movement. This end-to-end digital chain accelerates turnaround and reduces errors inherent in analog impressions.
Using the Digital Smile Design (DSD) platform, we provide virtual previews that patients can review from multiple angles. Animated smile simulations illustrate dynamic function speaking, smiling, and at rest ensuring expectations align before any preparation takes place.
Once the digital plan is approved, we fabricate mock-up templates via 3D printing or vacuum-formed matrices. These chairside mock-ups allow real-time evaluation of shape, length, and phonetic clearance. Clinicians can refine contours directly on the patient, capturing final approvals that guide the definitive restorations.
Our anterior restorations employ micro-prep techniques (0.3–0.6 mm) to preserve enamel and optimize bonding. Margin designs feather, chamfer, or butt-joint are customized to soft-tissue biotypes. Layered porcelain or characterized zirconia veneers are then seated with precision jigs to guarantee exact seating and minimal cement exposure.
Beyond basic shade selection, we map enamel opalescence, incisal halo effects, and surface perikymata. Detailed staining and glazing protocols replicate natural light scattering. Our technicians reference high-resolution photo guides and spectrophotometer readings to ensure each veneer blends imperceptibly with adjacent dentition.
For cases where digital alone falls short such as complex margin refinements or custom surface textures we seamlessly integrate analog artistry. Hand-layered porcelain additions, characterized by light-reflective micro-grooves, complement the precision of CAD/CAM milled substrates, offering the best of both worlds.
