What the procedure involves.
Porcelain veneers in China use the same premium materials (E-max, Zirconia) as top Western clinics at 60-70% lower cost. Chinese dental labs have invested heavily in CAD/CAM digital design technology, enabling precise color matching and natural aesthetics. Cities like Shenzhen and Guangzhou are major hubs for cosmetic dentistry, with experienced prosthodontists who specialize in smile makeovers for international patients.
Step by step.
Consultation & Digital Design
The dentist examines your teeth, discusses your aesthetic goals, and uses digital scanning to create a virtual smile design. You preview your expected results before any preparation begins.
Tooth Preparation & Temporary Veneers
A thin layer of enamel is removed from the front of each tooth. Digital impressions are sent to the lab for custom veneer fabrication. Temporary veneers are placed to protect the prepared teeth.
Veneer Bonding
The custom porcelain veneers are carefully bonded to your teeth using dental adhesive. The dentist checks the fit, color, and bite alignment, making final adjustments for a natural appearance.

Got 10 veneers at Shanghai Ninth — the cosmetic dentistry department is legendary. Results are flawless. The international department handled everything in English. Shanghai prices are higher than other cities but the quality and convenience are worth it. Direct insurance billing too.
