b) Veneers
A veneer is a layer of material placed over a tooth, that improves the aesthetics of a smile or/and protect the tooth's surface from damage. There are two main types of material used to fabricate a veneer: composite and dental porcelain. A composite veneer may be directly placed (built-up in the mouth), or indirectly fabricated by a dental technician in a dental lab, and later bonded to the tooth, typically using a resin cement. In contrast, a porcelain veneer may only be indirectly fabricated by the dental technician. The indication of dental venners :
- treatment of disclolored teeth in front (esthetic area)
- adjustments of front teeth in case of position problems ( example diastema closure, misplaced teeth)
- adjustments of size and shape of front teeth
- restoration of teeth with abrasion or erosion
