Dental veneers are porcelain plates fixed to the front surface of the teeth to restore esthetic functions of the teeth. By using dental veneers it is possible to remove teeth visual defects and restore dental esthetic attractiveness without affecting their functionality. Dental veneers can be used in cases when the patient’s teeth by time have lost their natural color (turned yellow or become dark) form, or have gotten covered by various kinds of pigment spots, as well as for elimination of congenital tooth defects (increased dental slots, teeth of uneven shape).
Dental veneers are very thin (0.2-1 mm). Ceramics the dental veneers are made of is the light-permeable, like tooth enamel, therefor teeth restored by dental veneers look natural and esthetically attractive.
Dental veneers are most commonly used for restoration of the teeth located in the esthetic zone (incisors). If necessary and the patient wishes, dental veneers can be also used for restoration of the side teeth.
Even if the defect has affected only one tooth, esthetically better result can be achieved by restoring several teeth at once (for example, four incisors) by ensuring complete dental compatibility both in their color and form.
