Dental Veneers
What are dental veneers?
If you have discolored, yellowed or chipped teeth, you can now solve the problem and return to having a white smile without any imperfection thanks to the aesthetic dental veneers.
The dental veneers are very fine shells made of porcelain, used on the front area of the teeth of the upper arch to conceal defects of shape, position, color and the size of the teeth. They are similar to false nails due to their delicacy and finesse (they are less than 1 millimeter thick), thanks to this thinness they appear transparent against the light and have a natural appearance.
They are defined as real dental prostheses, since, once glued, they will remain for about 10 years on the tooth. When a dental veneer is removed from a tooth, in fact, it will need a valid substitute to recover its normal appearance, since to apply it, the tooth will be slightly milled.
They can also be integrated with partial crowns. In this case the tooth will not be filed down as much as before.
When to use dental veneers
How are dental veneers applied?
To apply the veneers the specialist will have to file a part of the dental enamel, then he will take a dental imprint and with a color scale he will then check the shade of white of your teeth.
The dentist will then prepare a model to send to the dental laboratory, which will build the aesthetic veneers.
The veneer will be placed on the tooth temporarily to check its shape, size and color and to determine if it is necessary or not to make any changes. If the veneer is right, then the specialist can cement it into the tooth.

How to take care of dental veneers
Taking care of dental crowns must become a habit: the artificial crown protects your tooth or replaces it because you have lost the natural one. You must therefore have a rigorous and daily care of your teeth.
