Dr Sepideh Jalal Jalali, dentist and clinical director at The Tooth Club, reminds us that this critique does not imply the end of veneers, merely the end of implants as we know them: “As dental work becomes more common, there is a growing demand among high-profile clients for the ‘invisible treatment,’” she says. “The days of ultra-white, high-shine veneers are over. Now people want veneers that look untouched, healthy and natural,” she adds. Dr Jalali notes that translucent ceramics, which seamlessly mimic the real enamel with soft, curved edges, are seeing more takers. “We are now using 3D scanning, AI smile simulations and digital mock-ups, so both the client and I can see a preview and have more control over the process to ensure they are getting what they want,” explains Dr Jalali.
