Porcelain veneers can be used in many cases such as fractures, the formation of gaps between the teeth or discoloration of the teeth.
What is Porcelain Veener?
Porcelain veener is made with different techniques and fine workmanship than classical porcelain dental veneers. In the production of porcelain veener dental veneers, the tooth surface is first abraded. This abrasion process is done to get rid of tooth decay, stones or discoloration. It is necessary to be very sensitive during the abrasion process because the tooth needs to be abraded to a lesser extent than 1 millimeter. After the abrasion process, porcelain veener veneer material is adhered to the tooth surface. Thanks to this material, problems such as pitting or discoloration on the tooth can be solved. Since porcelain veener is one of the durable coating types, it helps you to get an aesthetic appearance for many years.
What is Porcelain Veneers Made For?
The reason for porcelain veneers may vary according to the situation. Porcelain veneers can sometimes be made within the scope of aesthetic dental treatment, and sometimes it can be done in order to use it in a functional way without losing the main tooth. Porcelain veneers are applied in cases where the teeth are not white or there is caries formation.
Non-White Teeth
Some individuals’ teeth may not be white due to smoking, drinking alcohol or not paying attention to dental hygiene. In addition, some individuals’ teeth may not be white without any factor. In such a case, the teeth may have a yellow and unaesthetic appearance. Such an image also disturbs many individuals. At this point, teeth whitening methods may also come into play. Unless teeth whitening methods are repeated, they lose their effect in a short time.
Porcelain veneers, on the other hand, offer a very long-term solution to the problem of non-white teeth. With the natural and white tooth appearance of porcelain veneers, yellow teeth are provided with a white appearance. Since porcelain veneers made in case the teeth are not white is an application within dental aesthetics, it is aimed to have a dental appearance that the individual will be satisfied with in this application.
Caries Formation in Teeth
Dental caries can indirectly lead to porcelain veneers. If decay occurs in a tooth, this decay should be cleaned immediately. In some cases, the decay may be very small and if it is cleaned in the early term, there may be no need for filling. In such a case, porcelain veneers compensate for the partial loss of the tooth due to decay.
Porcelain veneers made after tooth decay ensure that the surface of the tooth that has been cleaned of caries is flat again and restored to its former state. In this way, both the functional structure and aesthetic appearance of the tooth can be preserved. In addition, in some cases, tooth decay can cause a large part of the tooth to be lost during cleaning. Such a situation may cause the tooth to look abnormal and not fulfill its function. At this point, porcelain veneers may come into play. Thanks to bridge porcelain veneers, even very small-sized teeth are brought to normal tooth size, providing both an aesthetic appearance and an advantage in terms of functionality.
Too Separated Teeth
Some individuals may have too many gaps between their teeth. If the gaps between the teeth are too wide, it can cause the teeth to have a separated and unaesthetic appearance. Many individuals do not like the appearance of split teeth and want to get rid of this appearance. At this point, aesthetic filling may come into play, as well as porcelain veneers. In some cases, porcelain veneers can be used to eliminate the appearance of split teeth, just like a filling material. When porcelain veneers are made, not only the problem of the separated appearance of the teeth, but also other problems such as color changes can be solved. In this way, the individual can be discharged from the clinic or hospital where he/she applied with the complaint that his/her teeth are too separated, by getting rid of problems such as the yellow appearance of his/her teeth.
Broken Teeth
Fractures in teeth can occur as a result of trauma. These fractures usually lead to the loss of part of the tooth. Even the loss of a small part of the tooth is a very negative factor in terms of both appearance and functionality. Chewing food with a partially lost tooth can be quite difficult and even painful due to sensitivity. In addition to this, an unaesthetic appearance may occur during laughing or speaking actions in teeth with partial losses. At this point, porcelain veneers may come into play. Porcelain veneers can be prepared in accordance with the size and shape of the tooth fracture and loss, making the tooth as aesthetic and functional as if it had never been broken.
What is the Lifespan of Porcelain Veneers?
Does Porcelain Veneer Tooth Fall?
Porcelain veneers can fall off when there are extreme situations. Especially if the adhesive material that allows the porcelain veneer to be adhered to the tooth has dissolved and lost its effect, this may cause the porcelain dental veneer to fall off. In addition, porcelain veneers can also fall off if the tooth decays. Decay can lead to partial tooth loss, causing the porcelain veneer to move and thus dislodge. Another situation that can cause a porcelain veneer to fall off is the expiration of the veneer. Porcelain veneers usually have a lifespan of 10 to 12 years, after which they fall off the tooth surface.
Porcelain Veneers or Zirconium Veneers?
Due to these differences, zirconium or porcelain dental veneers may be required.
When choosing between porcelain veneers and zirconium veneers, the differences between these two types of veneers should not be ignored. Zirconium dental veneers are thicker and more durable than porcelain dental veneers. Therefore, zirconium veneers are used to compensate for the loss of function as a result of abrasions in the back teeth, while porcelain veneers are generally used to correct the appearance defects in the front teeth. When choosing between zirconium and porcelain veneers, it makes sense to consider their thickness.
Another difference between porcelain veneers and zirconium veneers is the price. Porcelain dental veneers are a more affordable option than zirconium dental veneers. Therefore, individuals who want to have a more economical tooth coating procedure can make their choice in favor of porcelain veneers.
