Cool and fashionable Veneers

Venners are nowadays the most popular alternative in cosmetic dentistry. They are small delicate facings or “shells” of only 1mm thick made of porcelain that due to its color and shape look pretty much like contact lenses or fake fingernails.

They are aimed to improve and stylish teeth’s appearance, for people who have very small teeth, separated, with irregular sizes (not twisted) or not severely stained.

The process is based on trimming each tooth’s enamel to place each veneer on it, so its is partially invasive and it is IRREVERSIBLE, so you must be very sure of undergoing this technique.

Veeners’ waste goes from just 0.7 to 0.8 mm per year; their duration is for 10 years approximately, after which you will have to get replacements. You can have your meals without any problem, just avoid eating bones and opening anything with your teeth for not damaging the veneers.

The veeenring procedure is generally doen in only 2 dentist visits, between them the peatient witll be fitted temporary veneers till the bonding of the final ones.

Venners have become quite popular lately and not only among celebrities –have you noticed Hillary Duff’s brand new smile?- but also to the common people like you and me. They represent a good and very quick and aesthetic alternative to teeth bleaching, and less painful too.

Venners look nice are comfortable and yes, still affordable if you get a good dental health care plan.

They are different types of veneers depending on the material they are made such as:


Composite veneers

They are made in one session in the clinic, no previous lab phase is required.

They modify the color and shape of our teeth. This is a conventional technique since it doesn’t need the dentist to carve upon the teeth.

The only inconvenient is that these veeners may suffer some color modifications when time passes by. That’s why an anual polishing is reccomended by specialists.


Porcelain veneers

They are lab-made structures thatr ecover the teeth’s frontal side. Witht hem the teeth’s color and shape can be modified. As well as porcelain crowns, they need teth carving producing the loss of some tenths from dental tissue.
