How are Veneers Used in Dentistry

Description:

Veneers are a permanent way of changing the appearance of your teeth in cosmetic dentistry. A dentist uses a thin, tooth-colored shell to cover the front of your natural tooth.

Are Veneers Permanent?
Yes, Veneers are a permanent way of changing the
appearance of your teeth in cosmetic dentistry.
A dentist uses a thin, tooth-colored shell to
cover the front of your natural tooth. If you
have cracked, chipped, uneven or stained teeth,
you might consider getting veneers. Another
reason to get them would be to close a large gap
between teeth. Although they look great when done
correctly, deciding to get veneers should be
carefully considered because it does permanently
change your teeth.

Two types of materials have been used in
the manufacture of dental veneer, one in
porcelain and the other in composite resin. There
are many differences between these two materials
that are used to make veneers. Composite veneers
can be placed directly on a patient. Teeth
without much preparation or they can be made at a
laboratory. On the other hand, porcelain veneers
can only be applied after they have been made in
a laboratory.

Another difference that can be observed between
porcelain and composite materials is that facets
made of composite materials are more accessible
to repair because they do not tend to split, as
opposed to porcelain. If a patient decides to use
porcelain, many veneers are therefore applied at
the same time.
The invention of this restorative layer is not
new it has been around since the 1930s, when a
dentist, Charles Pincus, invented her. The first
versions were not very useful, because they
appeared after a few days of application. Was
mainly attributed to the suture material that was
used to connect the tooth to a veneer.

As time went by new materials started to be
tested in order to improve the lifetime of these
artificial implants, composite resins proved to
be quite useful because they were strong enough
to bond porcelain to a tooth almost permanently,
while this substance can provide nearly permanent
results the life of the veneers themselves is not
that incredible, many of them will only last for
about 10 to 15 years, after that he should be
replaced once again with newer ones.
It is fascinating to see how technology changes
everything, using technologies such as CEREC
patients are now able to get a digital scan of
their oral cavity which will help dentists
manufacture crowns and veneers which are perfect
for the patients mouth, all this in record time.

Which Veneer is Better? Although a porcelain
veneer is more likely to last longer and is more
stain resistant, there are times when a resin
veneer is more appropriate. Composite resin is
preferred in some cases because it is possible to
adjust and repair them if they dont look quite
right or become damaged.
How Are They Applied?
The dentist will take impressions of your teeth
to use as a guide for designing your veneers.
Before they can be attached to your teeth, the
dentist will have to file away some of your
natural enamel. This step is not reversible. Then
they will cement the veneer to your natural tooth
using a dental resin. Some patients have
increased tooth sensitivity because of the
removal of the natural enamel.
