One Solution To All Problems – Veneers
31 August 2022
What Is A Veneer?
Veneering is the most modern method of correcting both functional and aesthetic discomfort on the tooth, which is widespread in dentistry. Veneering allows us to change the shape, size and color of the tooth according to the patient's wishes. Dental veneers are made of different materials and are mainly used for orthopedic purposes. Ceramic veneers are a thin plate of porcelain and its average thickness is less than 1 millimeter. Veneers are attached to the tooth externally (vestibularly) and can be fixed from the age of 18, for all patients who want to correct defects directly on the teeth or treat anomalies in the dental arch.
Instant Orthodontics, I.E. Straightening Of Teeth With Veneers
Correction of tooth row defects with bracket systems (metal and porcelain brackets, caps, etc.) is the most widespread and, at the same time, affordable method in modern dentistry, although there is also a non-orthodontic way of correcting dental defects.
If the patient, due to his lifestyle, does not want to wear traditional metal or ceramic braces an excellent alternative to teeth straightening (and the fastest way to achieve a perfect smile) is teeth straightening using ceramic veneers.
By choosing ceramic veneers to solve orthodontic problems:
- You save time, because the treatment takes only a few days, not years;
- the arch of the teeth becomes symmetrical and beautiful;
- A wide range of oral problems are addressed, such as tooth colour, size and shape;
- The defects of the specific tooth surface (for example, stains and cracks) will be corrected.
What Do We Need To Know About Veneers?
- Nowadays, there is a widespread opinion among patients that veneers can be fixed only on a tooth with already damaged enamel, which is not true. In order to improve the visual effect, veneering can be done on any tooth, and during the fixation process, the preparation of the tooth is reduced to a minimum
- Veneers allow us to "entirely" protect the tooth. If the patient wants not only to improve the visual effect of the smile, but also to completely protect the teeth from harmful effects, it is possible to use the "veneer-360" method during the treatment, it is functionally the same as the classic veneer and has the same gloss and color as natural teeth. The main difference is that the tooth surface is completely covered (360 degrees). "veneer-360" protects the tooth surface from all sides.
- There are many cases when patients want to have a "Hollywood smile" and plan to have ceramic veneers, but in the end they refuse the procedure, because they think that ceramic veneers do not have enough durability and need to be constantly updated. It is important to keep in mind that ceramic veneers have the same wear characteristics as natural enamel. Therefore, ceramic veneers have high durability, they do not change their color for a long time and maintain their natural gloss. Kharebava clinic is the best dental clinic Tbilisi.
Care Recommendations For Ceramic Veneer
The care of ceramic veneers is not much different from the usual oral hygiene, however the first few days it is desirable to consider:
- For the first few days, limit smoking and eating foods that may cause tooth staining.
- Avoid horizontal loading, which means gritting or biting solid food with the front teeth.
- Avoid using abrasive toothpaste.
- visit a dentist once every 6 months for scheduled observations. Regular observation will guarantee that your veneers will always be in perfect condition and will add more self-confidence to your smile.
