About the product
What are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are custom-made shells applied over the teeth to improve its appearance. These wafer-thin products can be made from dental porcelain or composite resin. Sometimes, the dental porcelain is combined with metal for a more durable veneer.
It was Charles Pincus, a dentist in California, who invented these veneers after making some temporary ones used in a film shoot in 1928. He used dental adhesives to cement the acrylic veneers he had fabricated. Although adhesion was poor, the new invention was quickly favored by many patients and dentists. Soon, improvements were made, including etching to improve bonding and using other material types.
Today, bonding agents and better cements are used to cement the veneers in place, allowing for a more durable and longer-lasting fit that could actually last for 10 to 30 years.
Dental Problems Corrected by Veneers
Different patients experience different dental problems but many of these can be corrected with veneers. Sometimes, it might be necessary for them to undergo a root canal to ensure that the treated teeth will not cause any more pain especially now that it already looks great.
The following dental problems may be corrected using veneers:
• Teeth with gaps in between
• Irregularly shaped teeth
• Uneven or misaligned teeth
• Broken or chipped teeth
• Worn down teeth
• Discolored teeth due to large resins or chemicals
How Dental Veneers are Applied
A dentist may advise the patient to use dental veneers instead of getting a tooth extraction and using dentures afterwards. The procedure is actually quite easy, with the patient only required to come back once or twice for it to be finished.
