All about dental veneers: choosing the shade and who they are for

Dental veneers are one of the most requested treatments in cosmetic dentistry. And it is no surprise, as they can substantially improve the appearance of the teeth very quickly and effectively. This way, the patient does not have to undergo a longer treatment and still achieves the smile they want. 

Dental veneers are thin restorations, 1-2 mm thick, made from special EMAX ceramic or ZIRCONIA, which are bonded to the visible surface of the tooth to improve its appearance. They are made in the dental laboratory from a dental impression taken by the dentist using the latest digital technology: the digital scanner. 

Because their purpose is cosmetic, these restorations cover only the visible surfaces of the teeth, not the inner surfaces, as these are the most visible when we smile. The aim of veneers is therefore not to improve how the teeth work, but simply to give the smile a more harmonious appearance. 

Dental veneers are recommended for all patients who want to enhance their smile and who are not entirely happy with the colour, shape or size of their teeth. Veneers are therefore used to correct common imperfections such as: 

• crooked teeth; 
• broken or uneven teeth; 
• worn teeth; 
• disproportionate teeth; 
• fractured teeth; 
• chipped teeth; 
• diastema (gap between the front teeth). 

For example, veneers can be an alternative to orthodontics if someone wants to change the shape of their teeth. They can also be very effective on teeth that have calcified or that have extensive damage caused by decay.  

When it comes to veneer shades, you should know that there are many types and degrees of white. The shade of white is always tried in and chosen before the veneers are made in the dental laboratory. 

Choosing the most suitable shade is an important step: it is based on the patient's taste and on the colour of their skin, lips and hair, and is guided by a dentist experienced in cosmetic dentistry, but in the end it is the patient who makes the decision. 

The truly successful cases are those that enhance the face harmoniously. By this we mean that, when we look at a person, it is not the veneers that stand out, but the whole face, in perfect balance with the teeth. Our dentists, experienced  in cosmetic dentistry, know how to interpret the patient's preferences, but also how to explain and guide them towards the ideal choice. 

The advantages patients can gain from veneers at our clinic include: 

• Very high aesthetics and a natural look compared with other techniques; 
• It is a very quick treatment: veneers can be fitted in just two appointments; 
• Veneers can correct the shape, colour and position of the teeth;  
• Veneers give long-lasting results; 
• Ceramic veneers do not stain over time, but keep their shade perfectly; 
• Veneers are a minimally invasive procedure to restore your smile in just a few steps; 
• No healing time is needed after this procedure, unlike other types of treatment; 
• The sophistication of veneers lies in the way they are bonded. The adhesive forms both mechanical and chemical bonds with the teeth, resulting in a strong attachment that will not come off or wear over time. 

As you can see, dental veneers really are an excellent option for improving anyone's smile and appearance.
