What are veneers?
Veneers are thin restorations fixed to the front surface of teeth. They are used to correct the shape, shade and minor defects of teeth in the smile area.
What veneers can address
Veneers are not suitable in every case. Before treatment, the dentist assesses the bite, enamel volume, gum condition and any functional disorders.
- correction of tooth shape and proportions;
- change of a persistent enamel shade;
- closing small gaps;
- masking chips and surface defects when indicated.
Ceramic and composite veneers
Ceramic veneers are made in a laboratory and fixed after a try-in. Composite restorations are built directly on the tooth by the dentist. The methods differ in indications, stages and care.
How veneers are placed
Treatment includes diagnostics and smile planning, preparation of teeth to the extent needed, collection of digital data or impressions, try-in and final fixation.
Planning
Assessment of the smile, bite, form and shade of future restorations.
Preparation
Conservative enamel preparation to the extent needed for the selected restoration.
Try-in
Checking form, colour, contacts and conformity with the plan.
Fixation
Adhesive fixation of veneers and bite control.
Service life and care
Longevity depends on the bite, quality of hygiene and following recommendations. It is important not to use teeth to bite hard objects and to attend regular check-ups. For bruxism, a dentist may recommend a protective night guard.
Frequently asked questions
Do teeth need to be prepared for veneers?
The amount of preparation depends on tooth position and the selected restoration. The decision is made after diagnostics and planning.
Can a veneer be placed on one tooth?
Yes, but the dentist and technician need to match its form and shade to adjacent teeth.
How does a veneer differ from a crown?
A veneer mainly covers the front surface; a crown covers the tooth on all sides and is used when there is greater damage.
Can teeth be whitened after veneers are placed?
Ceramic cannot be whitened. If natural teeth are to be whitened, the sequence should be discussed before veneers are made.
How long do ceramic veneers last?
Service life depends on the clinical situation, bite, hygiene and load. Regular check-ups help identify changes in time.
