Who does not dream of a healthy, snow-white smile and even teeth? Not only public people want to smile so that their smile attracts everyone around. Healthy teeth practically guarantee a quicker and more casual contact. Yes, and self-esteem of a person who is confident in his appearance is always higher. The alignment and whitening of teeth with veneers is one of the fastest and easiest ways to bring a smile to order.
What is a veneer?
Veneer is a microscopic prosthesis, in the form of a very thin plate, which corrects the color and shape of the tooth from its visible side. According to the material of manufacture veneers on the teeth are ceramic and composite. Veneers are manufactured strictly for each individual individually.
Who are the veneers for?
Restoration of teeth with veneers has its own evidence:
1. Pigmentation of the teeth. Changes in the color of teeth occur for various reasons:
- fluorosis (fluoride excess);
- teeth darkened after removal of the nerve (depulpation);
- stains on teeth from food;
- "Tetracycline teeth" (darkened due to taking an antibiotic during pregnancy or in children under 12 years of age).
If you can not achieve the desired result with the help of bleaching, or bleaching is contraindicated for various reasons, then placing the veneers on the teeth is the best option for such cases.
2. Chipping or erasing teeth enamel. Scale enamel due to trauma is a fairly frequent phenomenon. Pathological abrasion of tooth enamel can develop for many reasons (bruxism, incorrect bite, fluorosis, improper prosthetics).
3. Defects of tooth enamel. These include cracks in the enamel, hypoplasia, fluorosis, erosion. Veneers on the front teeth will help to make these defects not visible.
4. Multiple seals on the front teeth, differing in color from the tooth surface. Old fillings made of obsolete materials, or simply standing long, can change their color, or the color of the untreated part of the tooth may differ from the color of the poorly matched filling material. It is also possible the development of secondary caries in the area of the old filling. Prosthetics of such teeth with veneers is an easy way to achieve an amazing result in a short time.
5. Wide gaps between the teeth - diastema and tremes.
6. Boredom and irregular shape of the teeth. The main principle of treating such and previous defects is orthodontics, that is, correction of the occlusion with the help of plates and braces. But if a person is concerned only with the aesthetic side of the question, then correcting the crooked teeth with veneers is a quicker and easier way to make the smile more attractive.
How does the procedure work?
In just one or two visits to a dentist you will forget that once your smile did not appeal to you. In the first visit the doctor conducts the preparation of the teeth under the veneers.
During the second visit, the dentist fixes the veneer on the surface of the tooth with a special composite material that provides a durable fixation.
Composite veneers can be made in one visit by layering the material directly on the tooth. This method is often used to eliminate the color defect of one tooth, and veneers on curved teeth are more often made laboratory, however in any case the question is solved by your doctor.
