Over the period of time, dental technology has expanded rapidly. Huge innovations and novel ideas have been executed. Dentures, crowns, dental implants are such profound examples. However, the recent and the most fabulous innovation in the dental technology are the dental veneers. Dental veneers are form of cosmetic dentistry because it helps in shaping up face by mending broken teeth, discoloration, filling gaps etc. In this type of treatment a mixture made of tooth-colored porcelain is applied on the surface of teeth that has been damaged. Dental veneers are highly popular because they provide pacifying results lasting long and regaining that vivid smile with beautifully aligned and formed teeth.
However, dental veneers are a costly affair as compared to embedding other dental implants. But despite of the costly treatment, it ensures other advantages like less maintenance, more stability and strength, no discoloration and absolutely no wear and tear. With these advantages at hand most people today prefer dental veneers as compared to dentures, crowns and other dental implants. Therefore, we can say that dental veneers are shells made of tooth colored material covering the front surface and altering the shape, size and color of a tooth and thereby restoring its bright shine.
Dental veneers are generally made of porcelain or resin compound substance. Porcelain veneer is used much because it is transparent and share similar properties with that of a tooth enamel. When light falls on this enamel it gets reflected because of the dentine coat beneath. That is why natural teeth have a dazzling smile. Whereas resin dental veneers are more thin and require less elimination of teeth for the treatment. Putting up veneers is a simple yet surgical treatment that takes quite a considerable time. Firstly, a part of the enamel is removed to make the tooth look proportionate so that the dental veneer gets a fine hold. In the second visit, the dentist places a temporary dental veneer till the time a permanent one is being crafted in the dental laboratory. After that, the dentist replaces the temporary one with the permanent that truly looks like natural teeth and gets fitted in the mouth safely with the adjoining teeth.
However, dental veneers might cost a little overboard for some because of its expensive treatment. Keeping this thing in mind the dental technicians have come up with an alternate called Lumineers. They are tailor made dental implants created with a high quality material called Cerinate. Lumineers are cheaper, easy to install and confer much more advantages. Though the Lumineers are slowly getting recognition but the dental veneers are still the people's favorite choice to get back those gleaming, lustrous smiling teeth.
