Veneers

This is the most prestigious choice of restoration (as if you have chosen Rolls-Royce). The porcelain laminates or dental facets are one of the latest inventions of cosmetic dentistry. They are thin layers of porcelain, which are attached to the front side of the tooth, very similar to the artificial nails when they are attached to the nails. This is a painless way of improving the look of the front teeth and it is a perfect solution to stained, little broken or crooked teeth.

The only condition that has to be fulfilled is that the teeth have to be structurally healthy. Today they are often used for correction of teeth with small or big cosmetic defects. They are an ideal way of cosmetic correction of the teeth. By placing laminates, the small or crooked teeth can get nice, proper shape, and the short teeth to be lengthened. The porcelain laminates can often be an efficient method of achieving cosmetic changes with teeth, which have small cracks or the surface is crumbly or destroyed. The amalgam fillings, which have been stained or distained can often be covered with porcelain facets.

The laminates are a popular choice for many reasons. They are the most conservative restoration treatment. It means that the drilling of the teeth is minimal because the laminates are very thin. The usual amount of the removed enamel is from 0.5 to 0.7mm. This amount is quite the same with the thickness of an egg’s shell and it is minimal compared to other dental procedures. When they are bonded on the front side of the tooth, they are extremely hard. They do not change the color (they are resistant to coffee, tea and even nicotine coloring), have extraordinary natural look and teeth transparency.
