What are dental veneers? There are many benefits of dental veneers.

Dental veneers are usually a cosmetic dental project done by celebrities, but in recent years, more and more people have had them done. Dental veneers can not only beautify our teeth quickly, but the treatment cycle is also relatively short.

What are dental veneers?

Dental veneers are a type of tooth whitening and restoration technology. Dental veneer restoration is to stick a layer of material similar to the normal tooth color on the surface of discolored or damaged teeth to achieve the effect of whitening or restoration. This technology has been widely used in stomatology and is very popular among consumers. Currently popular dental veneers can be divided into two types: resin veneers and porcelain veneers. They are currently the most popular dental beauty methods.

Dental veneer prices

Dental veneers are made of different materials and have different prices. Currently, dental veneers are mainly porcelain veneers and resin veneers. The price of resin veneers is about 500 to 1,200 yuan per tooth, and the price of porcelain veneers is about 1,000 to 4,000 yuan per tooth. The most critical point of veneers is the doctor's skills. In addition to considering aesthetics, you should also pay attention to bite, edge fit, smile line, etc. It is recommended to choose a regular hospital for treatment.

Advantages of dental veneers

1. Security

Less tooth tissue is removed. Porcelain veneers require less tooth tissue to be removed. In some cases, no tooth tissue needs to be removed. This can preserve a large amount of tooth tissue and does not require nerve killing. This can basically control the sequelae of full crown restoration such as postoperative pulp inflammation and necrosis, and can maintain the long-term health of natural teeth.

2. Beautiful

Good simulation effect. The simulated beauty effect of porcelain veneers has the same optical characteristics as natural tooth tissue, does not contain any metal components, shows the best aesthetic effect, and does not have the common black gum line phenomenon of porcelain teeth. There are a variety of adhesives of different shades and white opaque agents that can be used to assist in adjusting the color of porcelain veneers during clinical bonding to achieve an overall coordinated beauty effect. In addition, the high wear resistance and non-coloring of porcelain itself can make porcelain veneers achieve a permanent whitening effect.

3. Health

Less irritation to the gums. Porcelain veneers have excellent light transmittance, and the tooth can be prepared flush with the gums, which is conducive to protecting the gums and making impressions and bonding porcelain pieces. The area connected to the gums is only on the lip side, which is less irritating to the gums. There will be no discoloration of the gums caused by metal ions of metal porcelain teeth. The hardness of porcelain crowns is greater than that of enamel, which can cause wear on the opposing teeth.

4. Comfort

No foreign body sensation in the mouth. Porcelain veneer restoration basically does not require grinding of the lingual part of the teeth, and can preserve most or even all of the lingual shape, effectively protecting the opposing teeth. At the same time, the tongue still touches the intact natural teeth, which is natural and comfortable to the touch, avoiding the "foreign body sensation" when the tongue touches traditional porcelain teeth.

Types of dental veneers

1. Porcelain veneers: Porcelain veneers can be said to be the aristocrats in the veneer family. The production process is relatively complicated, and the technology and materials are very demanding. They have high simulation, good aesthetic effect, and stable and durable materials. Porcelain veneers are the mainstream of dental cosmetic restoration abroad now, and of course the cost is relatively high.

2. Hard veneer: also called hard resin veneer, super-ceramic veneer, and porcelain-like veneer. Its material is a large amount of porcelain powder particles added to the resin, which not only improves the wear resistance of the resin, but also greatly improves the aesthetics of the resin. Its clinical operation process is similar to that of porcelain veneer.

3. Resin veneers: The biggest advantage of veneers made directly in the patient's mouth with resin is that they are convenient, fast and rapid. They can quickly improve the beauty of the patient's front teeth. For front teeth with fluorosis, mild tetracycline teeth, small teeth, tooth gaps, and partial defects of traumatic teeth, if the patient cannot afford the cost of porcelain veneers and super-ceramic veneers in the short term, it is a transitional restoration to improve the beauty in the short term.
