Smile Makeovers with Dental Veneers in Sant Just Desvern
A harmonious, natural smile, designed just for you
Every smile is unique
A smile is one of the first things we convey when we speak, smile or interact with others. Minor changes in the shape, colour, size or position of the teeth can affect the overall harmony of the smile and make many people feel uncomfortable about showing their smile naturally.
At VARCHI Dental Clinic, we view smile design as a combination of health, aesthetics and personalisation. We do not aim for artificial smiles or standardised results. Our aim is to create balanced, elegant and natural smiles that respect each patient’s personality, facial expression and unique characteristics.
Dental veneers are one of the most advanced solutions in modern cosmetic dentistry. They make it possible to correct cosmetic imperfections in a minimally invasive way and achieve a significant transformation of the smile whilst maintaining a completely natural appearance.
Every smile design begins with a detailed assessment of facial and dental aesthetics. We analyse proportions, symmetry, tooth display, gummy smile, lip shape and individual characteristics to create a result that not only looks attractive, but also appears natural to the patient.
What is a smile design?
Smile design is a cosmetic dentistry treatment that improves the appearance of the teeth and smile through a personalised plan based on aesthetic and functional criteria.
It is not simply a matter of changing the colour of your teeth or straightening them. Smile design examines the relationship between the teeth, gums, lips and face to create a harmonious and balanced smile.
Everyone has different facial features and, therefore, a different ideal smile. That is why, at VARCHI, we avoid one-size-fits-all solutions and are committed to fully personalised treatments.
The final result should blend seamlessly with the face and reflect a natural, elegant and timeless aesthetic.
What are dental veneers?
Dental veneers are thin shells that are bonded to the visible surface of the teeth to improve their appearance. They can correct issues with shape, colour and proportion, as well as minor misalignments, producing very natural-looking results.
Depending on each patient’s needs, veneers can be made from porcelain or composite. The choice of one material over the other will depend on factors such as aesthetic expectations, the clinical situation, the patient’s habits and the treatment objectives.
They are currently one of the most sought-after treatments in cosmetic dentistry due to their ability to transform a smile quickly and in a minimally invasive way.
Solutions
Types of dental veneers
There is no single smile design. Each patient requires a personalised solution based on their features, proportions and aesthetic goals.
Porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers are the most advanced option in cosmetic dentistry. They are made to measure in a laboratory and are notable for their extraordinary ability to replicate the translucency, texture and lustre of natural teeth.
Their colour stability ensures that the colour is retained over the long term without undergoing any significant changes. Furthermore, they offer excellent strength and durability when properly maintained. They are particularly suitable for patients seeking the highest standard of aesthetics and long-lasting results.
Composite veneers
Composite veneers are applied directly to the teeth using state-of-the-art aesthetic resins. They offer a conservative way to improve your smile and usually require less treatment time.
Their main advantage is that they can be easily modified or repaired if necessary. Nowadays, composites produce very natural-looking results when applied by professionals with experience in cosmetic dentistry.
Instructions
When are dental veneers recommended?
Las carillas son una excelente opción para pacientes que desean mejorar determinados aspectos estéticos de su sonrisa sin recurrir a tratamientos más complejos.
What aspects can veneers improve?
One of the great benefits of veneers is their versatility. They can improve the colour of teeth where there is discolouration, internal staining or colour abnormalities that cannot be corrected by whitening alone.
They also allow the shape of the teeth to be modified to achieve more balanced proportions and a more harmonious smile. In patients with worn teeth, veneers can restore volume and length, significantly rejuvenating the smile. Gaps between teeth, known as diastemas, can be closed in a conservative manner through appropriate aesthetic design.
Furthermore, certain minor irregularities in tooth position can be visually concealed where the clinical situation allows. The aim is always to improve the appearance whilst maintaining a natural look and avoiding artificial-looking changes.
Protocol
How do we carry out smile design at VARCHI?
At VARCHI, we believe that a natural smile begins with a personalised plan. That is why every smile design using dental veneers starts with a detailed assessment to achieve a harmonious, precise result tailored to each patient.
Facial and dental analysis
Planning is the key to any successful cosmetic treatment. That is why our protocol begins with a thorough assessment of the smile and the face. We analyse facial shape, lip position, the amount of teeth visible when speaking and smiling, dental proportions and overall oral health.
Custom design
Based on this information, we design a fully personalised aesthetic plan. Our aim is not to copy trendy smiles or apply universal standards. We seek to create a smile that is perfectly suited to each patient.
Aesthetic and natural integration
Once the treatment plan has been finalised, we carefully select the shape, size, texture and colour of the future restorations to ensure they look as natural as possible. Every detail is meticulously considered to ensure they blend harmoniously with the rest of the teeth and with the patient’s facial features.
Smile design: much more than just fitting veneers
One of the most common misconceptions is that all beautiful smiles are achieved by having veneers fitted. The reality is that a harmonious smile is usually the result of a comprehensive treatment plan that may include various complementary treatments.
In some patients, it is advisable to undergo orthodontic treatment first to achieve correct tooth alignment. In other cases, it may be necessary to improve gum health before moving on to the cosmetic phase.
It is also common to combine veneers with teeth whitening or gum contouring procedures to optimise the final result. For this reason, at VARCHI we always carry out a comprehensive assessment before recommending any treatment.

FAQs
Can you tell you’re wearing veneers when you smile?
No. When they are properly designed, they should blend in naturally with the rest of the smile.
Do veneers damage your teeth?
No. When carried out in accordance with appropriate clinical criteria, they represent a conservative treatment option that preserves the structure of the teeth.
What is the difference between porcelain and composite?
Porcelain offers greater aesthetic stability and durability, whilst composite allows for simpler modifications and repairs.
Do veneers replace orthodontic treatment?
Not always. In certain cases, it may be advisable to undergo orthodontic treatment first.
How long do veneers last?
The lifespan depends on a number of factors, including the material used, oral hygiene and the patient’s habits.
Can I eat as normal?
Yes. Once treatment is complete, the patient can lead a completely normal life by following the recommendations provided.

Porcelain veneers retain their colour very well. Composite fillings may undergo slight colour changes over the years.
