The first step in creating veneers on your teeth is to remove a thin layer of enamel from your tooth and there will later come veneer. If there is tooth caries it should be removed first.
If the tooth is healthy, it removes a very small layer of enamel (0.6-0.8 mm). After grinding takes the dental impression that is sent to the dental-technical laboratory with exact shades. After several days you can have veneer on the tooth.
Beside ceramics it can be done directly from composite materials (materials which are made of white fillings) in the mouth, but to consider only a temporary solution because the aesthetics of such a plug is far below ceramic.
What are advantages and disadvantages of ceramic veneers on your teeth?
The great advantage of aesthetic ceramic veneers over crowns is in need of minimal grinding that usually remains in the enamel. But this finish is also dictated by the thickness of ceramic shell, and hence its sensitivity.
Ceramic veneers are not indicated in cases with a false bite or bite such that the movements of the lower jaw to the front side of teeth in contact, too – for example, in certain cases, a strong overlap of upper and lower teeth. In these cases their durability in the mouth is small.
Because of its sensitivity does not consider them particularly durable – it is calculated that their lifetime of about 5 years but it can be longer.
Ceramic veneers on your teeth achieve its full strength after chemical binding the tooth surface. Since the procedure is very sensitive, but also complicated, there is the risk of contamination of working fields and the consequent falling shell usually in the first 24 hours after application.
With minimally invasive procedure, because it just grinds the outer surface of the tooth, you get the maximum aesthetic and functional effect. I would like to put them on my teeth one day, I just have to collect enough money and I believe I will have much better smile and self-confidence.
