-- Dental veneers have come a long way in convenience and realism since their creation, especially within the last few years.
Veneers are not new methods of tooth restoration, being that they have been around since the 1920s. However, the appearance and functionality of dental veneers are constantly improving. Even the veneer options available 10 years ago pales in comparison with the product available in today’s dental offices.
Veneers change the appearance of teeth in several ways. They can alter the shape, size, color, and length of natural teeth without the need for painful surgeries. Veneers cover chipped, cracked, or worn teeth in ways that closely match the appearance of natural teeth.
In the past decade, dental technology has succeeded in reducing the “chicklet teeth” artificial appearance of veneers. As a result, the product looks more natural than ever and is more difficult to differentiate from a naturally beautiful, healthy smile.
Patients can choose from several different material types, including
• Pressed ceramic when strength is a concern
• Stacked ceramic which allows a greater degree of customization
• Leucite reinforced ceramic, which is a thin, strong, monochromatic ceramic that allows better blending than past options. This option also requires less reshaping of the natural tooth than pressed ceramic.
• Lithium disilicate, which is the newest type of material available. Its strong structure makes it ideal for teeth in the back of the mouth.
In addition to the different materials available in order to better fit patient needs, there are also no-preparation alternatives to the traditional veneer installment method. With no-preparation veneers, dental professionals do not have to shave off enamel or reshape the natural teeth in order to fit veneers over them. These veneer types fit directly over the existing teeth.
In addition to material and installation variations, veneer design has also improved in a way that allows patients to truly take advantage of a pleasing smile. Today’s dental professionals carefully design veneers so that their size, shape, and color closely resemble the way natural teeth are supposed to look.
