What's Veneer?

A veneer can be defined as “a thin piece of porcelain that is used to recreate the natural appearance  of teeth and also provides strength and flexibility similar to natural tooth enamel”. If you want to improve your smile, dental veneers are a simple option and the most common  application for "smile aesthetic" treatments. Veneer is an ideal method for the treatment of stained  and yellowed, broken or chipped teeth, and for removing unequeal spaces between the upper  anterior teeth. Veneers are thin veneers placed over the visible part of the tooth. They resemble  natural teeth and are at least as functional and long-lasting as your natural teeth. Veneers can be  obtained from three different materials.These are dental porcelain,composite material and laminate. Composite or dental porcelain veeners are used to be applied on the teeth. Laminate veneer, on the  other hand, is a thin layer that covers only the surface of the tooth and is generally used for aesthetic  purposes.

Who's this for?

There are some criteria sought in people for the application of Veneers. Veneer dental treatment is  not a procedure that can be applied to everyone. After the dentist examines the patient for medical  purposes, it is decided whether the patient is suitable for veneer treatment or not. Veneers can be applied to remove the crowding and deformities in the anterior teeth that prevent  aesthetic smile. Veneers can be preferred to repair teeth that have been broken as a result of trauma and to restore  them to their old natural appearance. Veneers can be used to lengthen the teeth in order to provide a beautiful smile in people with short  teeth. Veneer method can be used for teeth with dark color and which cannot be treated with teeth  whitening. Veneers are usually used for people with insignificant cosmetic defects, chipped teeth, severely  stained teeth, a gap between the teeth, or misshapen teeth.

How does it work?

In the application of veneer, which provides the teeth a natural whiteness, first of all, the tooth  structure of the person is examined and the plates suitable for the tooth structure are determined.  Then, a very thin layer is taken from the tooth surface and replaced with previously prepared plates  and glued. Since a special material is used as an adhesive during this process, it is not possible for the  veneers to fall off and be separated from the tooth surface. The application ensures that the person  has a safe smile.
