What is Porcelain Veneer?
Porcelain veneer is the shell
of porcelain that restore on the labial surface of the tooth
to make teeth to be more beautiful. In the old days we can
not make the veneer like this because there is no retention
enough to hold the Porcelain veneer with the tooth. But
in the last 20 years, Adhesive Dentistry is growing up very
rapidly. We can use Porcelain, Resin, Metal or many kind
of material to adhere with the tooth. This makes the technique
of porcelain veneer come true. Dentist can grind out the
tooth only the labial surface to make the veneer, which
is more conservative than gride out all around every surface
to make crown. This makes the procedure to restore teeth
not so complicated and very conservative to the tooth structure
How can Porcelain
Veneer improve your smile?
Porcelain Veneer can improve your smile in many situations
such as:
-
Make tooth to be whiter In
the case that the patients has yellow, brown or gray
teeth that come from many situation such as : tetracyclin
stain, Fluorosis, variation of yellow color teeth or
some of the systemic disease and Vital Bleaching cannot
get the satisfy result for the patient . We can do the
Porcelain Veneer generally 16 teeth on the upper and
lower anterior teeth. 8 teeth form upper left premolar
to right premolar and 8 teeth from lower left premolar
to right premolar. In some case we have to do more may
be on 10 upper and 10 lower according to the patients'
smile.
-
Correct the length of the
tooth In the case that the patients has too
short or too long tooth, we can correct by doing Porcelain
Veneer. Some patients have too short teeth that we cannot
see the upper teeth when they are talking or smiling.
Some are too long teeth that we see too much of the
teeth. We can solve these problems by doing Porcelain
Veneer.
-
Correct the size and shape
of the tooth In the case that the patents has
deformity of the tooth such as Lateral Peg Shape (small
lateral incisor) or in the case that we want to change
the shape of the teeth to look better smile such as
abrasion incisor teeth which look like a old persons.
We can solve these problems by doing Porcelain Veneer.
-
Space closure In
the case that the patients has gap between the tooth
may be we can solve the problem by filling with direct
composite resin but in the case that we want the restoration
that have more strength or more durability of color
Porcelain Veneer is suitable on that case
-
Correct the axis of the tooth
In the case that the patients have wrong axis
of teeth may be in Inciso-cervical axis or in Labio-lingual
axis or sometime in Misio-distal axis. Dentists can
analyze the smileline by using Still and Clip Digital
Image to study on the computer and correct the axis
for the patients by using Porcelain Veneer
So Porcelain Veneer can use to correct many situation of the
defect of smile and take a very short time to do. Sometime
we call this technique “One Week
Orthodontics”
because
of in some case we can make dramatic change in the patients'smile
