What is Dental Veneers?
Dental veneer is the process of reducing the size of the teeth to some extent and covering the teeth with a substance.
Why is dental veneers done?
First of all, if there is a very large tooth decay, if the existing decay is too large to be treated with a filling, we can ensure that the teeth last longer by coating these teeth. Similarly, if there is a very large filling that has been made before and if the tooth is broken or the tooth is broken due to trauma, we may prefer the veneer to protect the remaining tooth tissue.
Our tooth was accidentally pulled or had to be extracted. In order to fill the existing gap, we can fill the existing tooth space by reducing the teeth in front and behind, and by making veneers with the bridge system.
Another option is as follows. If our patient does not have sufficient financial means to have an implant, we can still fill the gaps by choosing veneers. We do the coating for two purposes. One functional and two aesthetic parts. We talked about the functional part now.
It's time for the aesthetic part. If there are severe discolorations on our teeth that cannot be removed by whitening, we can also apply veneer treatments in the same way.
We can choose veneers to whiten teeth for purely aesthetic purposes. Another option is as follows. If you have complaints such as crowding, tooth disorder, tooth curvature and you do not prefer treatment, that is, dental tongue treatment, to correct these complaints, we can use the veneer in the same way. If we are not happy with the previously made coatings, the coatings can be renewed and a more aesthetically beautiful coating can be created.
How Is Dental Veneers Made?
First of all, based on the tooth structure, the type of veneer is decided by the specialist. In line with the decision made, the reduction process is completed by reducing the amount of the tooth or teeth as necessary, or maybe all of them. Then, these shrinking teeth are measured and sent to technicians who are experts in their field. In line with the decision made before, we will inform you whether it is zirconium, porcelain, porcelain with metal substructure, whatever decision we have made, and the work comes to us after the technician. During the interim stages of these studies, patients are invited to our clinic from time to time. During these invitations, the patient's procedures are rehearsed.
See how he walks. It is presented to the satisfaction of the patient. Coating processes are completed between two and four sessions on average.
What are the Types of Dental Veneers?
There are Laminated Veneer Porcelain. These are high pressure formed porcelains. It contains a very thin structure. It can be used for aesthetic and whitening purposes by making very minimal abrasion on the tooth. After that, we have porcelain veneers. In other words, porcelain structures that do not contain any metal that are placed on the entire tooth.
We have veneers with a metal substructure and stacked porcelain on it, and our last option is zirconium veneers, which are very well known among the public.
What is Zirconium Dental Veneer?
Now I will tell you about the advantages and disadvantages of zirconium. First of all, the advantage of zirconium over metal-based porcelains is that it does not cause any irritation to the gums.
It does not cause any allergic reaction in the gums. This means this. In terms of gingival health, zirconium is at a much more acceptable level and form a material that we can prefer, and since the light fragility of zirconium metals is much better than metal-based personnel, it gives us exactly what we want in terms of aesthetics.
Since zirconium material is healthy and robust in terms of durability, we can also use it in the posterior teeth areas. It is generally recommended to be used in the front area from an aesthetic point of view, but you can safely use it in the back area, as its durability is very good.
What is Laminated Dental Veneer?
The most important factor in choosing laminates is aesthetics. If there are serious discolorations in our own teeth, we can choose the laminate treatment if we can combine them with laminate and fail to produce results in whitening. He knows that we do not even need to do very little or no abrasion while making laminates.
What Should Be Done After Dental Veneer Treatment?
It is quite normal to have mild pain and aches between 1 week and 10 days after the teeth are bonded. Pain relievers can be taken. After delivering our teeth to our patient, these veneers will be able to serve our patients for 5 to 10 years. Whether the process is long or short depends on the care given by the patient.
How Is Tooth Cleaning After Dental Veneer Done?
We do not neglect our brushing at least 2 times a day. If our veneers are given special floss, we use it regularly.
What is the Dental Veneer Price?
It varies according to the length and amount of the procedure to be performed.
