The Smile Clinic Paris has become The Madeleine Dental Practice.
Located at 8 Boulevard de la Madeleine, 75009 Paris, the practice offers dental care in an environment designed to ensure comfort and quality. Dr. Ralph Badaoui, Dr. Maxime Lucas, Dr. Joseph Nammour, and their team prioritize the least invasive techniques to preserve the original dentition while guaranteeing results that meet patient expectations.
A ceramic dental veneer is a bonded prosthetic restoration. It is a thin shell of ceramic with a thickness typically ranging from 0.3 to 0.7 millimeters. It exclusively covers the facial and incisal edge of the anterior teeth.
Unlike a dental crown, which involves peripheral preparation of the tooth and often a root canal treatment, the veneer adheres to the concept of minimally invasive dentistry. The preparation is limited to the external surface of the tooth, which helps preserve pulp vitality and nearly all of the dentin.
Although composite veneers are available, we prefer ceramic for all definitive aesthetic rehabilitation. Indeed, it is an inert, vitrified, and durable material.
At the Madeleine Dental Practice, we work with different types of reference ceramics known for their performance and clinical reliability, including:
The team at the Madeleine Dental Practice ensures that patients are welcomed in the best conditions and that care meets the highest standards.
The quality of the marginal fit (the junction between the tooth and the veneer) and the aesthetic outcome depend on the ceramist’s work. Our prosthetics are manufactured by partner laboratories located in France, particularly in Paris. This ensures compliance with European standards (CE marking) for the materials used and allows for precise personalization of shade.
At the Madeleine Dental Practice, we are here to serve every client in the placement of veneers. Our team stays up to date with the latest technical developments to ensure precise treatment and quality care.
The team at the Madeleine Dental Practice offers its patients the least invasive techniques to maximize the preservation of their original dentition while ensuring results that meet their expectations.
The treatment with ceramic veneers allows for the simultaneous modification of color, shape, and, to some extent, the position of the teeth. It is a suitable solution when non-invasive treatments, such as whitening or micro-abrasion, or orthodontics alone are insufficient to achieve the desired functional and aesthetic goals.
However, the placement of veneers is never systematic. It requires a healthy oral environment to ensure the stability and durability of the result.
Certain dental discolorations are intrinsic (located within the mass of the dentin) and do not respond to chemical whitening agents. Veneers are indicated to treat, in particular:
Genetic or functional factors may alter the integrity of the dental crown. Veneers allow for:
In certain occlusal configurations, veneers offer a prosthetic alternative to orthodontics for:
During the initial consultation with your dentist from the Madeleine Dental Practice in Paris, the practitioner assesses the risks and may contraindicate the treatment in situations such as:

The creation of veneers at the Madeleine Dental Practice follows a precise sequential protocol. This standardized process allows for the validation of each step of the intervention.
The first session includes a clinical and radiological examination to check the dental and periodontal health. Photographs and digital impressions enable the creation of a 3D simulation of the project, integrating the facial parameters.
The laboratory creates a model of the project. This model is transferred into the mouth via a provisional resin (the Mock-up). This step allows the patient to visualize the future result in situ. The practitioner checks the aesthetic integration, phonetics, and occlusion. The project is validated or adjusted at this stage.
After validation, the practitioner performs tooth preparation, generally under local anesthesia. This phase involves selective polishing of the enamel. Precision impressions are sent to the laboratory. Temporary veneers ensure the protection of the teeth during the fabrication phase.
The final veneers are tried on to check the marginal adaptation and shade. After validation, bonding is performed under a surgical field (rubber dam) with a specific composite resin, ensuring the definitive cohesion between the ceramic and the tooth.

Are you wondering if ceramic veneers are a good solution for you? Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions.
Ceramic veneers are very durable, lasting up to 15 years with appropriate care.
If your teeth are stained, discolored, or have other aesthetic defects, ceramic veneers may be a better option than teeth whitening.
If you want to focus only on lightening or whitening your teeth, prioritize teeth whitening.
Ceramic veneers require the same care as your natural teeth. Brush your teeth twice a day, use dental floss, and regularly visit your dentist.
The price of ceramic veneers can vary based on several factors. We invite you to make an appointment for a personalized estimate.
