Aesthetic Dental Veneers

If your teeth are discolored, yellowed or chipped, you can now solve the problem and go back to having a white smile without any imperfections thanks to aesthetic dental veneers.
The dental veneers are very fine shells made of porcelain, used on the front area of the teeth of the upper arch to conceal defects in the shape, position, color and size of the teeth. Similar to false nails in their delicacy and finesse (they are less than 1 millimeter thick), thanks to this thinness they appear transparent against the light and have a natural appearance.

They are defined as real dental prostheses, because, once glued, they will remain on the tooth for about 10 years. When a veneer is removed from a tooth, in fact, it will need a valid substitute to recover its normal appearance, given that the tooth will need to be slightly milled to apply it. They can also be integrated with partial crowns. In this case the tooth will not need to be filed much.

1. If your teeth have taken on a dull or yellowish color (due to smoking, for example), the aesthetic veneers restore the whiteness, more effective than the various whiteners.
2. When you need to fix chipped teeth.
3. To improve the shape of the teeth, if you have teeth that are too small or too short: the aesthetic veneers reshape their shape by making all the teeth uniform.
4. If you suffer from bruxism, your tooth enamel has worn out over time and a dental veneer is a coating that will protect the tooth.
5. To improve the alignment of the teeth: an aesthetic veneer corrects this defect, making your teeth regular.

To apply the veneers, the specialist will have to file down a part of the dental enamel, then take a dental impression and then use a color scale to check the white tone of your teeth. The dentist will then create a model to send to the dental laboratory, which will build the aesthetic veneers. The veneer will be placed on the tooth temporarily to check its shape, size and color and determine whether or not it is necessary to make any changes. If the veneer is right, then the specialist can cement it to the tooth.

• Brush your teeth 3 times a day, after meals.
• Floss your teeth at least once a day.
• Book a regular visit to the dentist to check the dental situation.
• Bruxism damages the teeth and therefore also the veneers: talk to your dentist, who will advise you to apply a bite at night.
• Don’t chew too hard foods: dental veneers are resistant, but not like natural teeth.
• Also avoid smoking: smoking, in addition to damaging health, is one of the main causes of yellowing of the teeth.
