Ceramic veneers

Ceramic veneers is usually related to front teeth, which are visible when we smile or speak. During such a procedure the colour or the form of teeth may be inhanced. This method is also applied when cosmetic bonding or teeth whitening procedures cannot give the desired results. However, it is important to understand that in modern dentistry the principles of aesthetics are observed in all dental restoration procedures.

The restoration of tooth surfaces using ceramic veneers

They are ceramic shells which are bonded to the surface of a front tooth hiding its defects and enhancing aesthetics. These porcelain laminates are fabricated in a dental prosthetics laboratory. They are appreciated worldwide for their durability, hygiene, aesthetics and other reasons.

Dental veneers may be used for:

• improving the shape and color of teeth;
• closing spaces between teeth;
• strengthening weak teeth and preventing them from breaking;
• restoring a chipped tooth.

If your teeth are discoloured, worn down, uneven or irregularly shaped, ceramic veneers are often the best solution. However, you should always consult a dentist first.
