<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>Dental veneers are thin tooth colored shells attached to the front surface of a tooth in order to protect it, and improve the aesthetic appeal of a patient\u2019s smile.<\/p>\n
Through their application, the shape, colour and position of a patient\u2019s teeth can be altered, creating a unique smile catering to each patient\u2019s specific requirements.<\/p>\n
Veneers can be made of porcelane or composite resin.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
Porcelane Veneers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>Made of porcelane at a specialized dental lab.<\/p>\n
Advantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>- <\/i><\/span>\n
Minimal dental substance removal.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
- <\/i><\/span>\n
Optimal natural appearance, since porcelane mimics perfectly the appearance of natural teeth.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
- <\/i><\/span>\n
Durability and longevity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
- <\/i><\/span>\n
Porcelane does not stain and is not coloured by pigments.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul>
Disadvantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>- <\/i><\/span>\n
Higher cost.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
- <\/i><\/span>\n
The procedure is lengthier, requiring multiple appointments until its completion.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
- <\/i><\/span>\n
Difficulty of alterations after placement.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul>
In order to avoid such issues, an intra-oral simulation of the patient\u2019s future smile (mock-up) at the earlier stages of its planning is advised.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
