Veneer teeth
Veneers are used to effectively address a number of dental defects that impair aesthetic appearance. This method, which is especially designed for cracks, discoloration, and shape irregularities in the front teeth, is performed by attaching specially prepared thin layers to the tooth. Veneer treatment significantly improves the patient's overall appearance and self-confidence by providing a natural and symmetrical smile.
What is a dental veneer?
Dental veneers are a cosmetic solution to many dental conditions that negatively affect your appearance. Veneers are a type of treatment that aims to eliminate these problems by bonding a layer of porcelain (ceramic) to the front teeth that are mainly aesthetic problems.
What are the Advantages of Dental Veneers?
With a small intervention, it is possible to achieve a healthy and natural appearance in a very short time. In this process, the experience and skill of the doctor play an important role, because veneers, when applied correctly, can provide ideal results.
Veneers are made from materials that are healthy and designed for long-term use. These materials also do not lose their color or change over time, which adds natural beauty to the teeth. The natural structure of the teeth is not damaged when veneers are applied. Very small adjustments are made to the tooth, resulting in an aesthetically beautiful result. Generally, the amount removed from the tooth is only between 0.3-0.7 mm, which ensures that the tooth is corrected even if only slightly. In this way, it is possible to achieve the desired result without major intervention in the structure of the tooth.
The changes made with veneers can often be visualized without any intervention. That is, the desired changes can be visualized in advance to the patient through technological means, without causing any damage to the teeth. This also allows patients to see the expected results in advance.
Porcelain material has a very smooth surface after being applied to the teeth, which reduces the formation of stains and tartar caused by substances such as cigarettes, coffee and tea. This helps teeth stay clean and bright for a long time.
In addition, the veneer material is very strong, so it is highly resistant to wear when bonded to the tooth. Veneers make teeth look healthier, and they also correct small cracks or irregularities in the teeth, allowing for a better aesthetic appearance.
