Composite veneers

Composite dental bondings means that the teeth are not ground, there is no impression and no dental technician is needed, instead the entire treatment is performed within the dental office in one or maximum 2 steps. After removing old fillings and only a necessary very thin layer of the tooth material the dentist prepares the tooth then covers it with an aesthetic composite shell. This requires special techniques and the artistic sensibility of the dentist. During the treatment composite materials of different tone and color are used from the lower layers towards the surface. The result is a beautiful restoration that resembles the natural.


Composite veneers: the fast, flexible and aesthetic solution for a beautiful smile

Composite veneers can be made in all cases where no or only a very small amount of tooth material is missing. This method can be applied in the case of tooth decay or larger fillings.

Composite veneers can also change the shape and color of the teeth.

It is possible that a tooth whitening is made prior to building the composite veneer so that a new tooth color could be formed that is much whiter than the previous one. The teeth whitening and the composite veneer together meet the expected result. In some cases, patients opt for composite veneers when they are reluctant to wait for porcelain veneers which require the work of a dental technician, and therefore take longer to complete.

Porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers are the ideal solution to hide minor flaws, discoloration and aesthetic imperfections. Porcelain veneers are the most elegant achievement of aesthetic dentistry. Careful design, extremely precise preparation by the doctor and aesthetically demanding work by the dental technician are required.

How are porcelain veneers produced?

  • First, the patient participates in a dental consultation. He / she is thoroughly examined by the dentist, then they discuss the treatment together.
  • Then the dentist removes a minimal layer of about 0.5 mm from the anterior surface of the tooth.
  • Thereafter, a precise imprint is taken from the patient’s teeth, so the dental technicians can make the porcelain veneer.
  • As long as the veneer is being made, the patient will receive a temporary veneer to preserve the aesthetics of the teeth and avoid any discomfort.
  • Different probes at all the creation stages of the veneers take place: checking shape, fitting, color, etc.
  • During the last session the porcelain veneer is fixed to the tooth with a very strong special adhesive.

After getting veneers

The cleaning of veneers is very important. Tooth decay can not form on veneers, but on the teeth underneath it can. Therefore, the advice on oral and dental care should be strictly followed. Porcelain veneers resist the discoloration caused by food, but it is recommended to reduce the consumption of some drinks such as coffee, tea or red wine.

The lifetime of veneers varies. It can also be influenced by genetics, dental and oral hygiene. In general, veneers can last from 8 to 12 years, but in case of proper lifestyles and good oral and dental hygiene, this time can be extended. When it is over, they fall off the adhesive. If necessary, veneers must be exchanged.
