Fun fact:

● Teeth are the only part of the body that cannot heal itself.

● We can only see 1/3 of the teeth, the rest is hidden under the gums.

● It is very important to keep your toothbrush dry, as bacteria grow faster on wet surfaces.

● Tooth decay is the second most common disease after the common cold.

● Dental caries is the most common childhood disease.

● 50% of people said that the first thing they notice in others is a person’s smile.

● 60% of adults are attracted to someone just because of their smile.

● Like a fingerprint, each of our teeth is different from any other tooth or anyone else in the world.

● When not flossing, 35% of the tooth surfaces are not cleaned.

What You Need to Know About Veneers

Dental veneers are a cosmetic treatment designed to improve the appearance of a patient’s teeth, resulting in better looking, more visually appealing teeth.

The main indications for veneers are:

● notch

● stains

● Old restorations and fillings

● uneven or narrow smile

● Space issues

● piling

● Stains from antibiotics or fluorosis

3 Important Factors to Consider for Finishes

1. Bite; if a patient presents with an occlusal type other than that shown, they will not be a candidate.

2. The position of the teeth; if the patient’s teeth are misaligned (crooked), it will be an obstacle for the candidate.

3. Your remaining healthy tooth structure.

2 veneer materials

1. Porcelain.

● Advantages:

– Incredible results, finished like natural teeth

– more durable than resin

– Durability up to 15 years

● Disadvantages:

– Minor teeth grinding required

– Complete in 2 or 3 passes

– it’s an expensive process

– This is an irreversible process

2. Resin.

● Advantages:

– All it takes is one appointment

– It’s a cheaper treatment

– No need to wear down the teeth to place them

● Disadvantages:

– being a brittle material, it breaks easily

– Over time, they change color (become pigmented)

– The finish is unnatural as it can be seen that they are resin

– It is a “reversible” process

Board Mounting Process

● If implant or root canal treatment is required, it should be done before the veneer process.

● A very thin layer of enamel is removed from the tooth.

● Make impressions to make molds for permanent finishes.

● Place a temporary restoration on the tooth.

● At the second visit, the temporary restoration was removed. The teeth are coated with glue and permanent veneers are placed.

When can a veneer be removed?

● When teeth are severely worn down by grinding your teeth (bruxism).

● Whether the teeth have large gaps. Previous orthodontic work may be necessary.

● If the teeth are crowded or the jaw is too small and the teeth are misaligned.
