INTRODUCTION

In recent years, porcelain veneers have become one of the most popular dental restoration methods, offering patients an effective and aesthetic solution to improve the appearance of their smile. Ceramic veneers are thin shells of high-quality ceramic that are securely bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth, providing the ideal shape, color and alignment of your smile. In this article, we will look at the advantages and disadvantages of ceramic veneers, the installation process, as well as the technical characteristics and aesthetic possibilities of this innovative method of dental treatment.

OVERVIEW

The process of installing veneers takes place in two stages: in the first stage, the color of the future structure is selected, and the hard tissues of the tooth, namely the enamel, are prepared by 0.5-0.7 cm on each side, then impressions of the prepared teeth are taken and temporary crowns are made. Permanent structures are manufactured within two to three weeks. During the second stage, temporary crowns are removed, permanent veneers are tried on and installed.

Indications for the installation of veneers:

• Unsatisfactory enamel colour.

• Chips and cracks on the tooth crown.

• Improvement of the shape and size of the tooth.

• A “gummy” smile,

• Non-carious lesions affecting the aesthetics of the teeth,

• Protrusion and retrusion to a mild extent.

Contraindications:

• Age under 18 years,

• Significant resolution of the coronal part of the tooth,

• Poor oral hygiene,

• Bite pathology.

Advantages of Veneers:

• Long service life (about 10-15 years),

• Veneers are very durable, despite their small thickness (0.2-0.5cm)

• Veneers are difficult to distinguish from real teeth,

• Structures are made of biocompatible materials,

• Resistant To plaque formation.

Disadvantages of veneers:

• Many veneers react to coloring products, so you will have to adjust your food.

• High price.

• Possible increased sensitivity of the teeth, sines after removing part of the enamel, the pulp is protected by less tissue.
