Types of Dental Veneers

It is always important to know that most dental treatments have more than one option to perform. In this case, we have veneers, of which we have spoken before, can be made of different materials. Before undergoing a restoration with veneers we recommend you find out what types of veneers in the world so that together with the dentist you make the best decision.

First we invite you to read what dental veneers are, then know that the two most common materials used for dental veneers are:

Composite resin or composite

Veneers made from this material are made in the same query inside the mouth, so it is a shorter treatment. Anyway depends on how many veneers the time duration of the appointment with the dentist are made. Veneers composite resin is cheaper, and less destructive to restore and correct minor cosmetic problems.

Porcelain

Porcelain veneers should be sent to do with a dental technician in a laboratory, so that the term of treatment is a little slower, since it requires one or two more visits to the dentist. The good news is that these veneers look better and are better when cases of discoloration, chipping or fracture are more serious.

Porcelain veneers resist better than composite, stains from coffee, tea or cigarettes. Last longer and remain in good condition for longer. The porcelain teeth give a very natural and attractive appearance.

On the downside, they are considerably more expensive, harder to repair if something goes wrong and generally more destructive to the lower teeth.

Is there less permanent options?

In some countries of the world there are less permanent options, and are made of a flexible resin material that molds to the teeth, which can be removed if you want to make a change in your smile. There is no clarity of naturalness that they can provide the patient, so it is still recommended the above options, until this is not really well studied.

Are there different types of porcelain veneers?

They are an alternative to veneers standard porcelain or composite, but must be carefully selected and many situations do not adhere well, so it is in conjunction with the dentist who must make the decision knowing whether they are appropriate or not for certain patient.

They are considered more reversible than traditional veneers because you try to keep as much of the tooth, so that if the veneer fault could get and keep the tooth as it is, considering that the use of these veneers is usually aesthetic.

It can be used when there are teeth with small spots or discolored; slightly misaligned or malformed teeth; tooth spacing; for a makeover to improve the smile; or chipped teeth.
