What is it?
Dental veneers are paper-thin, custom-crafted shells of medical-grade porcelain or ceramic bonded to the front surface of teeth to correct deep discoloration, chips, gaps, or minor misalignment. At Kumar's Microscopic Dental Care in Yelahanka, veneers are designed and applied by Dr. RV Roshini, MDS Prosthodontist.

Frequently asked questions
How much do porcelain veneers cost in Bangalore?
In Bangalore, porcelain and E.max ceramic veneers typically range from ₹10,000 to ₹25,000 per tooth. Direct composite veneers range from ₹3,500 to ₹8,000 per tooth. Consultations include a detailed aesthetic preview.
What is the difference between snap on veneers and permanent porcelain veneers?
Snap-on veneers are temporary removable plastic covers that clip over teeth and can trap food particles and bacteria. Permanent porcelain veneers are custom-bonded medical-grade ceramic restorations that provide durable chewing function, natural translucency, and long-term gum health.
Do veneers look fake or unnaturally white?
Not when crafted by a specialist prosthodontist. Dr. RV Roshini customizes the shade, translucency, and surface texture of each veneer to harmonize with your facial complexion and neighboring teeth for an effortlessly natural look.
