Dental veneers are thin shells, usually made of porcelain or composite resin, that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are used to correct issues like discoloration, chips, gaps, or misalignment, providing a natural-looking and durable solution.
Procedure: The process typically involves preparing the tooth by removing a small amount of enamel, taking impressions, and sending them to a dental lab for custom fabrication. Temporary veneers may be placed while the permanent ones are being made. Once ready, the veneers are bonded to the teeth using a special adhesive, adjusted to fit to each tooth, and polished to achieve a seamless blend with neighbouring teeth.
Difference between Composite, Ceramic, and Zirconium Ceramic Veneers:
Composite Veneers: Made of tooth-coloured composite resin, they are directly applied and shaped by the dentist in a single visit. They are more affordable but may not last as long as ceramic options.
Ceramic Veneers: Made of porcelain, these veneers are fabricated in a dental lab for superior aesthetics and durability. They resist staining better than composite and provide a natural translucency similar to natural teeth.
Zirconium Ceramic Veneers: These veneers use a zirconium oxide base, known for its strength and biocompatibility. They are highly durable.
