Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain Veneers consist of thin layers of porcelain that are placed at the external surface of the front teeth (esthetic area) in order to improve their esthetics. Indications for porcelain veneers are :
- Improve the color of the teeth for long time (dark teeth)
- Correct the position of the teeth
- Close the diastemas between teeth (spaces between teeth)
- Correct the size and shape of the teeth
- General esthetic improvement
Porcelain is an esthetic material with high strength and a translucency similar to enamel. For this reason every restoration with dental porcelain can succeed a perfect esthetic result like the natural appearance of the teeth. Veneers can change radically the smile of a person and by that the appearance of his face. In the same time they do not adsorb pigments (from coffee, smoking, tea, red wine etc) and they maintain their initial shape and color. In this way the esthetic result is kept unchanged for long time.
The procedure consists of little or no grinding of the outer surface of the front teeth (0.5-0.8 mm) to ensure space and fitting for the venner. An impression of the Dentist follows and the selection of the color. Then the dental technician fabricates the veneers and the Dentist bonds them on the teeth with a resin cement. In every case a detailed Dentist and technician is needed for perfect results.
The majority of cases for esthetic smile improvement can be accomplished with success with porcelain veneers. Oral hygiene is unnegotiable in our days, but equally important is a beautiful smile and the great mood out of it.
