Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are state-of-the-art special materials used to improve the appearance of teeth on the surface.

Dental veneers are effective in solving different problems. Among these, problems such as tooth discoloration, tooth decay, and tooth fractures can be counted. At the same time, people who have tried teeth whitening and dental braces but could not get the desired result, also prefer it.

How Are Dental Veneers Applied?

Dental veneers differ depending on their material. Two types of veneers are used: composite veneers and porcelain veneers.

In the application of porcelain veneers, first of all, some of the tooth enamel is removed. In order to be able to make a special mold, the patient's teeth are measured. After the mold is released, it is sent to a private laboratory specializing in dental veneers. The dentist may place temporary veneers on the patient during this time. After this step, the suitability of the veneers is checked. The patient decides on the color of the veneers. In the last step, the veneers are stuck.

In the application of composite veneers, priority is given to tooth cleaning. After this stage is passed, the color choice is made and the veneers are attached. The veneers harden with the help of a special light used during bonding. Polishing is applied to ensure resemblance to natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Veneers

There are many advantages to using dental veneers. The most important are:

• They provide an appearance close to the natural tooth appearance.
• They adapt to the gums.
• Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant.
• There are proper color options for darkened teeth to appear white.
• They generally do not require shaping as much as dental crowns, moreover, they are more durable and have a better appearance.

Dental Veneers Care

After the veneer application is finished, the dentist makes an appointment with the patient to check the condition of the veneers. Until the date of this examination, their compatibility in the mouth is evaluated by the patient. People who use dental veneers can consume all kinds of food and drink with care.

Since the composite veneers have the possibility of discoloration, attention should be paid to the consumption of beverages such as tea and coffee. In addition, smoking is also risky when it comes to composite veneers. It is important for the patient to apply dental care meticulously and to pay attention to hard foods. Good care can prolong the life of dental veneers.
