Veneers

What are dental veneers?

Veneers involve covering the outer surface of the tooth with ultra-thin porcelain shells, typically 0.2–0.5 mm thick. They can be applied to a single tooth or used for full-mouth rehabilitation. Veneers allow for the correction of tooth shape, size, and color. This method is widely used in aesthetic dentistry and enables us to enhance a patient's smile with minimal loss of natural tooth structure.

Indication

When are dental veneers used?

Undesired color

Color

Its advantage lies in color stability — unlike therapeutic (composite) restorations, it does not change color or lose its shine. It also allows for whitening teeth by several shades.

Undesirable shape

Shape

Many people are concerned about uneven tooth size and shape, as well as gaps between teeth (tremas and diastemas), which cause aesthetic discomfort. Veneers allow for the correction of tooth shape and size, as well as the closure of tremas and diastemas.

Tooth wear

Wear

Physiological wear occurs with aging and results in a gradual shortening of the tooth length, but it does not cause functional changes.
Pathological wear is the progressive loss of the tooth’s hard tissues, which leads to changes in tooth shape and gradually impairs normal function.

Tooth alignment

Dental malocclusion

In this case, tooth preparation is necessary to correct the alignment with braces. The correction of tooth positioning is achieved by creating space through the removal of tooth structure.

Veneers improve teeth both aesthetically and functionally. They restore tooth shape, color, and alignment within the dental arch, while also enhancing chewing function, which is very important for overall health.
