Dental veneers are wafer-thin, translucent ceramic shells that are placed over the tooth and applied with a special glue. veneers are predominantly used on the frontal teeth. With the help of veneers aesthetic flaws such as simple tooth misalignments, tooth gaps, unsatisfactory tooth coloration and local discolorations can all be corrected. With dental veneers, visible tooth surfaces receive an optimized look and even the tooth color is individually corrected through this method.
Veneer is a thin layer of material placed over a tooth, either to improve the aesthetics of a tooth or to protect the tooth’s surface from damage. There are two main types of material used to fabricate a veneer: composite and dental porcelain. A composite veneer may be directly placed (built-up in the mouth), or indirectly fabricated by a dental technician in a dental laboratory, and later bonded to the tooth, typically using a resin cement such as Panavia. In contrast, a porcelain veneer may only be indirectly fabricated.
