Porcelain veneers

What are ceramic veneers?

Ceramic veneers are personalized porcelain flakes that are glued to the front surface of the teeth. They are carefully crafted to match the natural color, shape and size of the patient's existing teeth, resulting in a harmonious and unobtrusive smile.

Thanks to their ability to transform the appearance of teeth, Ceramic Veneers have become the preferred choice for individuals seeking to correct a variety of aesthetic defects, including:

  • Stained teeth
  • Damaged or broken teeth
  • Irregular tooth shape or size
  • Uneven alignment of teeth
  • Spaces between teeth

Initial consultation and assessment

Start your journey to a sparkling smile with a visit to a qualified cosmetic dentist. Our initial consultation is key.

During this visit, the dentist will carefully assess your oral health, listen to your aesthetic goals and determine whether ceramic veneers are appropriate for your specific case. It may be necessary to take x-rays and impressions to better plan the treatment.

The process of applying ceramic veneers

1. Tooth preparation

To ensure precise fitting and optimal results, a small amount of enamel is usually removed from the front surface of the tooth that will receive Ceramic Veneers. This step is crucial to create space for the veneers and achieve a natural look. The amount of enamel removed is usually minimal and depends on the individual case.

2. Printing and production in the laboratory

After tooth preparation, tooth impressions are taken. These impressions serve as a guide for the dental laboratory to create personalized Ceramic Veneers. The dentist will work closely with skilled ceramists to ensure veneers meet the patient's unique specifications, taking into account factors such as color, shape and texture.

3. Temporary veneers

While permanent ceramic veneers are made in a dental laboratory, temporary veneers can be placed on the prepared teeth. These temporary veneers provide protection and aesthetic improvement during the waiting period.

4. Bonding of ceramic veneers

When the permanent ceramic veneers are ready, the patient returns to the dentist for the final bonding procedure. The dentist carefully places the veneers on the teeth, making the necessary adjustments to achieve the desired look and fit.

A special dental cement is used to securely bond the veneers to the teeth, and a light curing device is used to speed up the hardening process.

Maintenance of ceramic veneers

Proper maintenance plays a key role in preserving the durability and aesthetic appearance of Ceramic Veneers. Here are some important care tips:

  • Regular oral hygiene: Maintain a consistent oral hygiene routine by brushing twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste and using dental floss or interdental brushes to clean between teeth.
  • Avoid excessive pressure: Although ceramic veneers are durable, they can be susceptible to damage from excessive pressure. Avoid biting hard objects or using teeth as tools.
  • Stain prevention: Although Ceramic Veneers are very resistant to stains, it is advised to limit the consumption of strongly pigmented foods and drinks such as coffee, red wine and berries. If you consume them, rinse your mouth with water afterwards.
  • Regular dental check-ups: Schedule regular visits to the dentist for professional cleanings and examinations. These routine checks allow the dentist to monitor the condition of your Ceramic Veneers and react to any problems in a timely manner.
