Esthetic Dental Veneers

Veneers: what are they for?

Veneers are used to improve the shape, size, and proportions of teeth.

They are commonly used to cover imperfections such as stained, cracked, chipped, or slightly misaligned teeth.

What are the advantages?

Veneers offer numerous advantages. Firstly, they are made-to-measure and can be made to perfectly fit the shape and size of each patient’s teeth.

Furthermore, veneers are stain-resistant and do not change color over time.

This type of treatment is quick and minimally invasive.

What are veneers made of?

Veneers are generally made of ceramic and are very thin, usually less than 1mm thick. Despite their size, they are extremely durable.

How are aesthetic veneers applied?

The process of applying veneers begins with an initial visit to the clinic, during which data is collected and the patient’s mouth and teeth are examined to determine if veneers are the most suitable solution.

Once the decision to proceed with the treatment has been made, we prepare the tooth by removing a small amount of enamel. This allows the veneers to adhere firmly to the tooth.

Subsequently, a precise impression of the tooth is taken, which will be used to create custom-made veneers in the laboratory.

A follow-up visit is then arranged, and during this second visit the veneers are applied to the tooth using a specialized adhesive material. We will then shape this thin laminate to perfectly fit the tooth’s shape and polish it to create a finish that closely resembles that of a natural tooth.

How long do veneers last?

Once in place and if properly maintained, veneers can last for decades.

How to take care of veneers?

To keep the veneers in good condition, it is necessary to adopt good daily oral hygiene. Additionally, it is important to avoid biting hard objects and try to protect the teeth from impacts, as this could cause chipping or fractures.

Although dental veneers are extremely resistant and durable, they can break or chip if subjected to strong trauma.
