When do veneers make sense?
Veneers are wafer-thin shells made of porcelain or ceramic that are applied to the front of the patient’s teeth with adhesive. Once in place, veneers improve the appearance of teeth and help correct minor flaws .
The dental veneers are a great way to save the teeth. They are thin and fit perfectly on the teeth. Veneers can also help prevent tooth decay because they give the teeth a smooth surface. They are also easy to maintain and clean.
Veneers are usually used for teeth, …
- ... which are worn, bent or broken.
- ... which are unevenly colored or discolored.
- ... which have spaces or gaps.
- ... which are uneven or crooked.
Veneers can also be used to provide relief for some people with hypersensitive teeth. This is possible because veneers form a thin layer over the teeth, which can reduce sensitivity.
If you are interested in veneers or the so-called Hollywood Smile, you should first consult your dentist. He or she can determine if you are a suitable candidate for this procedure. In fact, in some cases, veneers may not be the best choice. For example, people with bad breath or teeth that are prone to decay may not be considered.
The cost of veneers varies depending on the type of veneer and the dentist that patients see. Porcelain veneers are usually more expensive than composite veneers.
Application examples for veneers
Veneers can be especially useful for a variety of dental problems. They can help repair broken or damaged teeth, protect teeth from decay and give them a bright smile.
In these cases, veneers are useful:
- Internal discoloration
- Tooth enamel malformations
- Accidentally damaged teeth
- Tooth gaps
- Tooth misalignments
Veneers for internal discoloration
Internal discoloration of teeth is a problem that many people have. It can be caused by several factors, including genetic predisposition, age , and poor dietary habits.
Although it does not pose any health risks, some patients may find it very uncomfortable in their daily lives. Fortunately, there are some ways to treat this problem. One of the most popular methods is the use of veneers.
Internal discoloration can be caused by many different factors, for example:
- Tobacco and coffee consumption
- Genetic predisposition
- Teeth aging process
- Reaction to medication
If you suffer from internal discoloration of the teeth, veneers can be useful for you. By applying veneers, the outer layer of the tooth is covered and a new, uniform appearance is achieved. Treatment with veneers is usually painless and takes only a few hours. After the treatment you can immediately shine with your new smile.
Veneers for enamel malformations
Tooth enamel malformation is a problem that can affect many people. It can cause serious damage to the teeth if not treated. The good news is that there are treatment options that can help repair and protect your teeth.
Veneers, for example, are a popular means of correcting teeth that suffer from enamel malformations. These defects can be caused by discoloration, quirks or cracks in the tooth surface and make the teeth visually unattractive.
Treatment with veneers is usually uncomplicated and painless. In most cases, a local anesthetic is sufficient to prepare the teeth.
„For the perfect fit, the teeth must be lightly ground. This usually happens only very slightly.” – Muhammed Ferit Kiziler, Dentist, Founder of Inno-Esthetics & Veneer Specialist
Veneers for accidentally damaged teeth
Accidentally damaged teeth can be a serious problem. Fortunately, however, most accidents happen without permanent damage.
„Veneers can be a great help for patients with accidentally damaged teeth. They can strengthen the teeth and protect them from further damage.” – Muhammed Ferit Kiziler, dentist, founder of Inno-Esthetics & specialist in veneers.
However, veneers are not suitable for all patients. Therefore, a careful diagnosis should always be made before treatment. This is the only way to ensure that the treatment really helps and does no harm.
In most cases, veneers can be used on accidentally damaged teeth. However, there are some exceptions. Thus, veneers may not always help patients with severe damage to their teeth. Veneers can also often not fit properly in patients suffering from temporomandibular joint problems and should therefore only be used in exceptional cases.
Veneers for gaps between teeth
Veneers are an excellent option for patients who have gaps between their teeth. They can help close the gaps and give the patient a uniform, attractive smile. In some cases, veneers can also be used to protect teeth from further damage. Your dentist will be able to advise you if veneers are the best option for you.
Veneers for misaligned teeth
Misaligned teeth can be caused by an imbalanced chewing pattern, hereditary predisposition or poor dental hygiene, among other things. If the teeth are not in their correct position, this can lead to difficulties in speaking, eating and breathing. Malpositions can also negatively affect the external appearance.
That is why it is important to detect and treat dental defects at an early stage. The treatment method depends on the type and severity of the deformity. In some cases, orthodontic treatment is necessary, in others, the use of veneers.
Overall, veneers are commonly used to correct dental problems such as cavities, discoloration or cracks. They can also be used to improve deformed or crooked teeth.
