Aesthetic dentistry and teeth whitening in Riga — veneers and a beautiful smile that lasts
Aesthetic dentistry is a treatment process that lets you change the shape, length and colour of a tooth and, in doing so, improve the overall look of your smile. A small correction of asymmetry or the reduction of a diastema — the gap between the front teeth — gives the patient a natural, pleasing smile. Even before the procedure begins, the patient can see the expected result: this makes it possible to choose exactly the shape and shade of smile you want and to make the decision feeling confident about the final outcome.
Fine veneers
One of the best-known and most sought-after solutions is porcelain veneers — fine, almost transparent ceramic plates that are bonded to the front surface of the tooth with a special cement. Fixed to the tooth enamel, a veneer lets the tooth look natural and creates a strikingly aesthetic smile, while concealing irregularities, cracks or unwanted discolouration. Thanks to the durability of the ceramic material, the tooth keeps its functional ability even after the veneer is placed.
Dental restoration
A quite different solution is dental restoration — rebuilding the lost part of a tooth by filling (including replacing blackened or metal fillings) with light-curing composite materials. Where caries has significantly damaged a tooth and a filling can no longer save the situation, restoration with dental inlays is used — individually made ceramic or composite micro-prostheses that restore both the appearance and the function of the tooth.
Teeth whitening
Every one of us dreams of a dazzlingly white, beautiful smile. Unfortunately, the daily use of tea, coffee, red wine and other food with colour pigments gradually stains the tooth enamel and the teeth grow darker.
The We Care dental clinic offers professional teeth whitening with a modern Beyond lamp, which speeds up the action of the whitening gel and ensures an even, long-lasting result in a single visit. The procedure can make teeth up to eight shades lighter while being gentle on the enamel.

Frequently asked questions
-
Is teeth whitening safe and how should I prepare for it?
Professional teeth whitening is a safe procedure, but it has to be carried out on healthy teeth. Before whitening, the dentist checks the condition of your mouth, and a hygienist appointment is required. Keep in mind that whitening does not affect fillings, veneers or crowns — only natural tooth enamel. That is why any larger restoration work is best done after whitening, so that the shades match. Whitening can leave the teeth more sensitive for a few days — this is normal and temporary.
-
Who are dental veneers suitable for and how long do they last?
Veneers are an ideal solution if you want to change the colour, shape or size of your front teeth, close gaps between the teeth, or cover small cracks and worn, eroded teeth. The best aesthetic result comes from restoring several teeth at once — they are then identical in colour and shape. With proper oral hygiene, veneers last on average 10 years or longer. Veneers cannot be placed if you have bruxism, crooked teeth or significant damage — in those cases another treatment is needed first.
-
How long does it take and how many visits are needed to fit veneers?
Making veneers usually takes 2–3 visits. At the first visit the dentist scans your teeth with a 3D scanner, determines the shade and shape of the veneers, lightly polishes the teeth and fits temporary plates. Your individual veneers are then produced in the laboratory. At the following visit the dentist bonds the veneers in place with a durable cement. The whole process takes around 2–3 weeks.
-
Can I see what the result will look like before the veneers are fitted?
Yes — our clinic offers digital smile design. During the consultation the dentist carries out a 3D scan and shows you straight away how your smile will look after treatment. This lets you choose the most suitable tooth shape and shade before any intervention. It also means you can make an informed decision and end up with a result that fully matches what you had in mind.
-
How much does teeth whitening cost in Riga?
At the We Care clinic, professional teeth whitening with the Beyond lamp costs €350 (both jaws). Whitening trays for home use cost €100 per jaw. Home whitening is the more affordable alternative, but the effect builds up gradually. Professional in-clinic whitening gives a visible result after a single visit — teeth can become up to 8 shades lighter.
