Veneers
Dental veneers, thanks to the precise and careful procedure, allow for a quick and effective improvement in the appearance of your teeth.
What are veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made ceramic or composite coverings that are attached to the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. They are used to cover imperfections such as stains, irregularities, or gaps between your teeth to create a more aesthetically pleasing smile.
When are they used?
- Stains and discolorations – cover small discolorations that cannot be removed by cleaning.
- Irregular teeth – correct small irregularities and unevenness.
- Gaps between teeth – close small gaps between teeth.
- Damage and cracks – hide small damage and cracks.
- Irregular shape – improve the shape and size of teeth for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
The process of placing dental veneers is carefully designed to provide patients with a perfect smile, with minimal invasiveness and maximum aesthetics. The process itself consists of several key steps that ensure a natural and long-lasting result.
FAQ
Who are the candidates for veneers?
Candidates for veneers are people who have:
- Aesthetic concerns – stains, irregularities, or damage to the front teeth.
- Healthy gums – gums that are not affected by inflammation or infection.
- Realistic expectations – they understand that veneers can improve appearance, but cannot solve serious functional problems.
A dentist can evaluate the suitability of veneers for each patient.
How long do veneers last?
Veneers typically last 10 years. This depends on the quality of the material, proper oral hygiene, and avoiding habits that can damage the veneers, such as biting on hard objects. Regular dental checkups help maintain their longevity.
What is the difference between veneers and crowns?
Veneers are thin coverings that cover the front surface of the teeth, while crowns cover the entire tooth. Veneers are used for cosmetic corrections, while crowns provide additional strength and protection for damaged or weakened teeth.
