Teeth Veneers
There are several types of dental veneers with a variety of differences between them in matters of prices and the period they last. The main types of veneers are:
1- Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are the oldest type of veneer. They are made from high-quality hardened ceramics that can last for around 10 to 20 years. Porcelain veneers will give you a natural look with fewer chances of breakage. However, they are the most expensive type of veneer.
2- Composite Veneers
Composite Veneers are made from resin or plastic; therefore, they are a lot cheaper. However, they have high durability and give the patient a natural look. Using composite veneers will result in less enamel removal from the teeth and less possible damage to the gum.
On the other hand, composite veneers have a shorter lifespan. They usually last between 5 to 7 years. They require good care as they are more prone to breakage.
3- Lumineers
Lumineers are a new and novel types of veneer. They are very thin shells that are made from a special material called Cerinate. Despite being thinner, they are quite durable. Lumineers will not provide the same natural-looking teeth as porcelain but they are more affordable.
How are Veneers attached to teeth?
Before applying the bonding material to the teeth, they will be trimmed and some of the enamel will be removed from the teeth (equal to the thickness of the veneer). After that, the dentist will make a model of your teeth and send it to the lab to prepare the veneers.
The dentist will use a special adhesive to attach the veneers to the teeth. But before that, the dentist will use another adhesive to form a temporary bonding. This is just to make sure the veneers fit perfectly to the teeth and the color is correct.
If there is a problem with the fitting, the dentist will trim the veneers and adjust them for a better fit. As for the color, it will be changed with the use of the bonding material.
