How is Dental Veneer Made?
Dental veneer applications are carried out by first measuring the teeth to be veneered. Then, the veneer material is selected for the veneer to be applied to the tooth. When the treatment process begins, the first step is to clean the teeth. In this process, molds are used to take measurements. The measuring material in the mold will begin to freeze within a few minutes. In this way, the measurement of the tooth will be completed and the necessary casting procedures will be performed. If a problem is encountered during this process, the mold is removed and the necessary treatment is applied to solve the problem. The dental veneer process is completed when the mold fits perfectly in the patient’s mouth.
Things to Consider After the Coating Process
After the veneer application is completed, the patient must pay attention to some points in accordance with his new teeth. Therefore, after the dental veneer process is completed, the patient must pay attention to oral care. He should brush his teeth at least twice a day and be careful about using dental floss. There is no need for extra care for the veneered tooth, but oral care should continue a little more carefully than the normal routine. For this reason, it is necessary to be careful about very hot or very cold drinks and foods and to ensure that the coating is not damaged by external factors.
What are the Coating Types?
- Metal Supported Dental Veneer: This veneer, which stands out thanks to its dark appearance, is generally not preferred. Metal-supported dental veneer has no special feature other than its low cost. It is generally preferred on back teeth because it has a durable coating and dark appearance.
- Porcelain Dental Veneer: This type of veneer, prepared from a porcelain material, is a very durable and preferred type. It is prepared in the patient’s own tooth color. Thanks to its durable outer surface, it can be used for a long time. It is very resistant to breakage.
- Zirconium Tooth Coating: It ensures that the tooth looks as close to the original tooth as possible. It is a species whose aesthetics and appearance are extremely effective. It does not cause any problems in the gums. It is the most preferred type because it provides a realistic tooth appearance, especially when viewed from the outside. It is known for its delicate structure.
